I'm curious what you all are doing for a team website. What's working and not working for you?

A lot of schools that I have seen use this VNN, however it is rarely up to date. When you go to a schools website and click on the athletics link it takes you to an outside source ran by VNN. Our school uses it and I know we have never updated it as a football staff.

They wanted to keep giving us work arounds so I finally said eff it and refused to use it until it worked properly again. That was about 6 weeks ago. Maybe others have bad better issues, but if someone is actively searching for a source for building a team website, I would not recommend VNN. |

I am usually the guy that gets to do the website stuff and I have not been asked to do anything with it. I know our AD has to give me permission but I think what you are saying is spot on and our AD just doesn't give a $h!t enough to deal with it. I am not even sure what the cost is but if everyone is having these issues then VNN is making a killing for having so many websites that don't do anything but all the teams have them. |

Most of the VNN sites I've seen are much like you've described - empty and/or out of date. Lots of SportEngine sites are much the same. 2 local schools here switched from Sports Engine to a new product because they said Sports Engine was difficult to use. Are the coaches responsible for updating the website s for you, or do you have a booster club? I imaging the coaches aren't that tech savvy - nor are the parents sometimes either. I hear a lot of the "AD doesn't care" type responses too. |

Google Sites is super easy to navigate. That is what I use for my classroom. Our athletics page is tied to the school website so I do not deal with that.
