Cleveland, OH-The Cleveland State Department of Athletics has launched a new website in partnership with SIDEARM Sports. SIDEARM is the industry leader in collegiate athletics web and digital services. The redesign of csuvikings.com provides a new and modern design which showcases the department and university brand while providing fans and supporters an enhanced digital experience.
 
"We are very excited to unveil our newly designed athletics website to the public today," said Director of Athletics Kelsie Gory Harkey. "This site provides enhanced support for our 365+ student-athletes, as well as our coaches and staff. The new site also provides opportunities for engagement for our fans, supporters and the community at large. We look forward to utilizing the site to enhance our mission of creating champions in the classroom, in the community and in competition."
 
Csuvikings.com serves as the digital home for all things Cleveland State Athletics. Throughout the season, fans will have access to schedules, stats, bios, rosters, as well as digital content captured at CSU events. The new site features a responsive design that is optimized for viewing on desktop computers, laptops, tablets or mobile devices.
 
Visitors to csuvikings.com will see improved functionality and simplified navigation to access up-to-date information on the department as well as each of Cleveland State's 19 varsity programs.

SIDEARM boasts a client list of over 1,600 organizations including over 90-percent of Division I institutions. In addition, the site provides opportunities for the department to capture data and receive instant feedback from fans and supporters who engage with the department.
 
New additions to the site include a branded load screen available on all pages, as well as an improved social media carousel showcasing the latest posts from Cleveland State Athletics social media channels.

Sport-specific pages will also see significant upgrades as each sport's homepage provides the opportunity for branded photos to highlight unique promotional opportunities for each program.
