Why the website that works for your math department just doesn’t add up for athletics
Is it better for your school to build your own site
or call in PrestoSports?
Your IT/web team may do a great job creating and managing school and academic websites. Your athletics program, however, has very different needs than your math department — needs that require highly interactive features, virtually real-time updating, sophisticated integration, and truly state-of-the-art content management capabilities. Having your IT team tackle the assignment can wind up exposing you to considerable cost, delays and risk. That’s why choosing Presto Sports makes such a difference in how far your budget goes and how fast you see results.
PrestoSports vs. developing your own site
from scratch
Expertise: Our software is backed by years of development so it runs smoothly. You avoid costly, frustrating trial and error. As former athletic administrators ourselves, we can address both problems and opportunities that other IT teams may never even think about to give you the absolute best solution.
Control: Although we’re an outside vendor, you never lose control over your school’s “brand,” identity or your website itself. We create built-in functionality your staff can use to manage content, update and even expand your site without having to call us back in.
Focus: Unlike internal IT staff, we don’t have to divide our time between developing your website and maintaining server availability for your students. Unlike many web vendors, we don’t diffuse our attention into “sidelines” like licensing your school’s marks and logos. Our sole business is to give you the best athletics website for your school, your program, and your goals.
Support: Most sports take place after business hours and on weekends and holidays. Unlike internal IT staff, we’re always available. At any time an administrator has a question or problem, we’re accessible here to help.
