PORTLAND, Ore. – In association with Streamline Technologies, the Great Northwest Athletic Conference has unveiled a redesign of the conference website, GNACsports.com.
The new site boasts a number of new features that significantly increase access to GNAC news and coverage, including RSS feeds featuring news articles from around the conference footprint; an audio/video streaming portal featuring game coverage from all 10 member institutions; weekly podcasts featuring audio interviews with conference newsmakers; and links to all social media coverage throughout the conference.
The website also will showcase full coverage of all GNAC championship events throughout the academic year, highlighted by dedicated championship pages for each sport. Each institution also has its own informational page that features images from around the campus, quick facts, and links to their athletic and university web sites.
“Streamline Technologies was of immense help in shaping and building our new site,” said conference commissioner Dave Haglund. “Our primary goals in the redesign were built around the elements of presentation, navigation, information and inspiration. There are so many positive qualities to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, and we wanted to do our best to make sure we brought those out in the new web site. The hope is that our many GNAC fans will find the site easy to navigate and filled with up-to-date information on every GNAC sport.”
