We’re pleased to debut a new feature on nyvelocity today, free team mini sites. Now you can have a web presence for your team without paying for site design or hosting, on a site that already has much more traffic than any stand alone team site. Each mini site has six sections: Home, About, Roster, Results, Sponsors, and Gallery. Should you not want to deal with reader feedback, comments can be turned off for your team site. And no, you don’t have to be a New York based team to create a site.
If you’d like to set up a site start by creating an account if you don’t already have one. Email me and I’ll start your team page for you, and make you the team site manager. Once that’s done you can load your banners, spec the color palette, and build your roster. Each team member must have an account, and the manager will add that team member by inputting his/her username. Once set up all members can add results to the site, and they’ll be automatically compiled. All members can add images to the team gallery as well.
Team managers will see this menu to administer their site.
All team sites will be bannered on our homepage on a rotation, guaranteeing you and your sponsors some exposure. If you already have a team site you’re still welcome to create a mini site here and link to your main site. In the meantime check out BH/Garneau’s version here.
photo presentation does FGX get larger disk space and oversized fonts?
Stay tuned. Just got Jammet started on it.
Yeah, but isn’t this just a way for NY Velocity to serve up more ad impressions?
Uh, Guido, I bet you’re a glass-is-half-empty kind of guy, no?
We love traffic. On the other hand, having a site designed and hosted ain’t cheap, so everyone benefits.
Ad impressions – you’re having a laugh aren’t you? When will people realise the NYVelocity guys do this for the love of it – they sure as hell are making money off this!
nyvelocity or van dunk. cycling isn’t putting any of their kids through college.
andy and dan have a nice villa in girona
wow! you got ’em. ok boys, he’s on to you. take down the mini-sites.
Is there a paid option? Our sponsors aren’t going to want ads for competing products on our team site page.
I’ll have to get the boys to agree to get sign up, the jersey is still in pre-production design phase II so no congruent team pic yet.
Looking someone to style our new kits. I’m thinking red all over with some tentacles wrapped around the head of humanity. I have about $1,000,000,000 to spend for the right design.
If it were done in true Goldman fashion, they’d hedge bad kit risk by having two firms provide the design/kit, one announced publicly (like, hypothetically, American Cycling Apparel–ACA, get it?) but the other done behind the scenes. One firm would actually pay Goldman to do the design/kit because, well, they’re Goldman. Finally, Goldman would keep the winning design kit but sell the losing one to the general public, who doesn’t know any better but thinks they’re getting something swank.
Eventually, someone wearing the loser kit (let’s call it the design with the “Bead Theme”) while zipping around in Central Park finds out that they’re the butt end of the joke, and makes a big stink about it…
But keep it down, huh, we’re doing G-D’s work here!
