AUSTIN, Texas -- After a year of development and testing, Texas Athletics is pleased to announce a comprehensive redesign of TexasSports.com. The new website features an innovative and responsive design, improved navigation throughout and dynamic social media presentation.

Redesign priorities were identified through months of online surveys and in-person interviews with both internal and external stakeholders. The website, powered by SIDEARM Sports, was built with the user-experience in mind, using the most modern and forward-looking design standards to offer compatibility across all devices.

Along with a sleek design, the new navigation layout creates quick and easy access to essential information like scores, schedules, ticketing and news.

"TexasSports.com is a major touchpoint for Texas fans", said Men's Athletics Director Mike Perrin. "Our fans want a user-friendly website that makes it easier to find the information they want and to read more about our student-athletes."

Not only will it take fewer clicks for fans to move around the new site, the uncluttered design reorganizes content to allow users to better interact with the Longhorns online. Developed to create a uniform feel across various platforms, the new website optimizes viewing and seamlessly standardizes the user experience for desktop, tablet and mobile devices.

Fans will experience the site's minimalistic navigation and improved functionality with such fresh front-page upgrades as a new top schedule, out-front positioning of social media streams, and student-athlete features. New game day hubs also will centralize ticketing, parking, audio streaming, alerts and other event-related information for fans.

"We want to ensure that the Longhorns brand is positioned in sync with the ever-changing demands in the digital space", said Women's Athletics Director Chris Plonsky. "Our entire web and content creation team has worked hard to achieve that in this design and to really bring to the forefront the content our fans want."
