Storm partners with PrestoSports to develop new internet
home at www.LakeErieStorm.com
PAINESVILLE, OHIO -- The Lake Erie College
Department of Athletics announced today (May 3) the launch of its
new athletics website,
www.LakeErieStorm.com.
The College partnered with PrestoSports to develop a modern
internet home for the Storm’s 23 varsity NCAA Division II
programs.
“We’re very excited about the launch of
LakeErieStorm.com and what it means for our department,” said
Director of Athletics Griz Zimmermann. “The web is a
powerful tool for promoting our growing program and to publicize
the outstanding accomplishments of our student-athletes and
teams. LakeErieStorm.com will allow us to do that in fresh,
new ways with the help and support of a great partner in
PrestoSports. With our move to the GLIAC this summer, we feel
launching the new site at this time is a perfect transition into
the next phase of Lake Erie Athletics.”
In addition to a graphically stimulating design, the website
will be more interactive to include online polls, blogs, video,
podcasts, photo galleries, schedules, standings and social media
tools. The new site will also provide live stats and opportunities
for live audio and video broadcasts as well as information for
prospective student-athletes, visitors to campus, alumni, supports
and friends of Storm Athletics.
Many of these features are currently available on
www.LakeErieStorm.com with
others being added in the near future.
The Department worked with PrestoSports over the past three
months to create the new look for Storm Athletics
online. The development stages involved design and
functionality discussions and content management operations,
followed by content migration from the existing site and the
addition of new pages and features.
"We're pleased to work with Lake Erie College on its new
athletics website," said PrestoSports Chief Executive Officer Serge
Knystautas. "It's been exciting to bring our services to another
member of the GLIAC."
PrestoSports is a leading technology provider to collegiate
athletic departments with services including web site design and
hosting, live stats, award management, merchandising and
officiating. The company hosts athletic websites for the
Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and GLIAC members
Ferris State, Lake Superior State and Saginaw Valley State.
