POMONA -- The Cal Poly Pomona Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, in partnership with SIDEARM Sports, has completed and released a long-awaited redesign of BroncoAthletics.com as a new refresh of the official CPP athletics web site debuted Wednesday.

"This new design was truly a collaborative effort between our team here at Cal Poly Pomona and our web partners at SIDEARM Sports," said CPP Sports Information Director Tyler Lobe. "We feel that the new refresh of BroncoAthletics.com will help us better share the outstanding efforts of our student-athletes, coaches and staff, with an attractive, state-of-the-art presentation."

Among many new features, the biggest change is to the design platform which is 100 percent responsive, which is an approach to web design that makes web pages render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes. No matter if Broncos fans are on their smartphone, a tablet or the computer at their desk, they will receive a full-featured digital experience to keep tabs on everything Cal Poly Pomona athletics. In an analytics report of BroncoAthletics.com from September of 2018, it showed that 52 percent of all people that visited the web site during the 2017-18 fiscal year were viewing the site on a mobile device (up from 23.4 percent in 2013-14), which highlighted the need for a responsive platform for this redesign.

Another feature that will provide fans easier access to live video and live stats for current and upcoming games is the schedule feature at the top of every page that allows for fans to find and click the live media links without having to scroll down the page to find them.  The team-specific web pages have also been modified to not only feature the latest news and headlines, but they will also pull in all of the recent content from each of the team's social media channels, like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

While the newly-redesigned web home of Bronco Athletics will offer new bells and whistles, many of the previous features will remain in tact, including the ability to sign up to receive the latest news from your favorite CPP Broncos teams right in your email inbox.  Just click here or go to broncoathletics.com/subscribe, enter your email address, select which sports you would like to receive news about, verify you aren't a robot, then click "Sign Up".

In addition to a fresh new coat of paint, the CPP sports information office continues to add bits and pieces of historical information about Cal Poly Pomona athletics as it relates to current and previous NCAA sports that CPP intercollegiate athletics has offered over the years.

"I want to thank Ryan Henry, Kerri Graber and the entire SIDEARM Sports staff for their efforts on the refresh of our web site, as well as Dr. Jason Beers, the Lead of the Cal Poly Pomona Web Development team, and Mercedes Quiroz of the CPP Strategic Communications office for their involvement and input during the early stages of the project," added Lobe.  "Without them, and the work of our internal redesign committee made up of several athletic department staffers, this refresh of our athletics web site -- four months in the making -- doesn't come to fruition."

This is the first redesign of the official Cal Poly Pomona athletics web site since September of 2014 when the Broncos unveiled the most current visual identity that the department continues to succeed with.  CPP athletics has partnered with SIDEARM Sports as its official athletics web site provider since October 20, 2009.
