SWAC Official Website to Undergo New Layout

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama  --  The Southwestern Athletic Conference official website, SWAC.org, will undergo a new design on Thursday, July 11. The league announced the change prior to the 2013 SWAC Football Media Day on July 15 at the Birmingham Marriott.

"With the increase in interactive multimedia accessibility, the Southwestern Athletic Conference acknowledges swac.org as the primary source of information related to the league and its member institutions," SWAC Commissioner Duer Sharp said. "The conference office analyzed the site and we believe the new layout (swac.org) gives fans, student-athletes and media outlets an easier way to navigate and locate pertinent information."

The new website features an improved homepage design, a concise layout of page content, with an intuitive and consistent site-wide navigation. It is also accessible through a wider range of web browsers and devices, including mobile applications and tablets. It has been redesigned to meet all relevant accessibility standards for users.

It will continue to feature a multimedia player, photo gallery, a panel with live twitter feed and direct links to SWAC social media outlets. Visitors can access the new site through the original swac.org uniform resource locator (URL) or web address.  Like the original design, a direct link to the SWAC's member institution will remain intact.
