Does my team need a website?
Yes. Below you will find reasons as to why team sites are important.
It gives you the ability to communicate easily with your players, parents, and fans. Schedules and other information that needed to be handed out before will now be
accessed on the web and the abilty to print them will be available.
College recruits can access your site and find important information about your players.
Sponsors of your team can be added to the site as an added perk of being your sponsor.
Fans and boosters of your team will have access to statistics, schedules, calendars, news stories, and pictures of your team simply by accessing your site.
Why would we pay for a website when others offer them for free?
There are several reasons why we feel a paid website is better than a free one.
For one we will provide you with a doman name
for your particular team. A domain name is what your users will use to access your team's site. For example our doman name is www.evarsitysports.com.
Free site builders generally set you up as a sub-domain off of their domain name, which is why in order to access your team's site you have to input something like www.theirwebsite.com/teams/football/yourteamname.
We feel domain names are relevant because they give your users easy access to your team's site.
Second, we will work closely with you to design your team's site from the ground up. Free site builders give 20 or so templates to choose from if they even give you a choice of a template.
The free site builders give you limited control over the site. Sure you can change the colors and add pictures here and there, but in the end your site will look like every other team's website
with a different coloring scheme and images. With eVarsity Sports we will build your team's site from the ground up with your input and suggestions. Your team's site then will be an original as opposed to the same
site as thousands of other teams.
Third, eVarsity Sports will be involved now and in the future. We give you the tools to update the site yourself, but unlike free site builders we will train you how to use these effectively. Our package also includes 2 hours
of our time every month. If you don't have time to do something a particular month then give it to us and we'll do it for you at no additional cost. Free site builders offer no live training, but eVarsity Sports will set up live training to show you how to use our Sports Management System at
no additional cost.
Fourth, free site builders don't charge you anything so where does the money come from? Their money comes from sponsors, which they allow to advertise on your team's site. You generally have no control over this and the sponsors images are plastered all over your team's site.
Since their money comes from sponsors who do you think they answer to in the end? We make our money by providing our services to the teams so we will always answer to you the team. With our Sports Management System you have the ability to
put your sponsors on the site as an extra perk. We will never link our sponsors to your team's site, because in the end the site is yours not ours.
Lastly, sites designed with these free site builders generally become what we call ghost sites. They start off with the best intentions, but either the administrator grows tired of updating the site because it is too difficult or because no one accesses the site because it is impossible to find.
eVarsity Sports is committed to preventing this from happening to our teams'
site. Whether it is a gentle nudge on our part to your team's site administrator or updating your team's site ourselves we will work our hardest to make eVarsity Teams network of teams vibrant.
What software needs to be installed on my computer?
Our Sports Management System is 100% web based so nothing will need to be installed on your computer. You will simply need internet access in order to access your team's site.
Can I link to my sponsor's website?
Absolutely. When we design your team's site we will give you a sponsors page that you will be able to input all of your team's sponsors and their websites. You will also have the option of placing
a sponsor scroller on all pages that will randomly show your sponsors. To learn more visit our features page.
When can I expect my website to be finished?
This of course depends on the complexity of your site and how many teams are before you. We try our hardest to get your site done in less than 2 weeks.
