FSU Broncos Launches Website Redesign with SIDEARM Sports

Fayetteville, NC – The Fayetteville State University Department of Athletics teamed up with industry leader SIDEARM Sports to launch a redesign of its official website – FSUBroncos.com – on Tuesday, July 3rd.

The new website now offers a sleek new design that caters to an enhanced online experience. The fresh look, accessible navigation, and a responsive design adapt to the user's device (desktop, tablet, or mobile).

"It has been a great experience working with SIDEARM Sports to offer a new digital experience to our community, said Sports Information Director Adrian Ferguson. "The new website highlights our student-athletes while promoting our teams through our digital media platforms."

The revamped website features larger photos and a media wall featuring Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube posts in a larger and easier to view format. From the new media wall, fans can instantly follow @FSUBroncos and link to the social media homepages.

Student-athlete profiles will highlight related articles and quick access to season and career statistics.

A Gameday landing page will provide links to rosters, statistics, and game-related media and broadcast.

A new scoreboard will show upcoming events and a tab for recent scores.

Photo galleries and videos have also been enhanced.

FSUBroncos.com has now switched from a CBS Interactive platform to Sidearm Sports. In Mid-February, CBS Interactive Advanced Media and Learfield's SIDEARM Sports announced a new partnership to jointly produce and operate more than 1,100 college and high school athletic websites and stream more than 14,000 live events each year.

SIDEARM Sports, the leading provider of collegiate athletic web solutions, will manage the website and mobile platforms while providing the hosting and infrastructure for all of the schools.
