ODESSA, Texas (August 7, 2024) – The University of Texas Permian Basin Athletic Department unveiled a redesigned website on Wednesday afternoon, updating its design and layout at www.utpbfalcons.com. The new website will help UTPB Athletics stay cutting edge and strengthen its communication with the Falcon fan base.

The Falcons are excited to extend their partnership with SIDEARM Sports in unveiling the latest redesign of its athletics website. The new site provides fans with the best place to find all the latest news and information on all of the UTPB athletics programs.

The newly redesigned site keeps all of the favorite aspects of the previous version, while also providing a fresh new look and enhanced features and colors. The new website includes larger photos, easier navigation between pages and quicker access to the department's social media outlets.

In addition, some of the new features include integration with the Lone Star Conference standings, a "By the Numbers" section to highlight the Falcons' athletic history and success, a way to signup for the athletics newsletter, and a new look to the schedule display at the top of the page.

UTPB's Interim Vice President for Athletics, Scott Farmer, said, "The relaunch of our UTPB Falcons website will help promote our student-athletes' and teams' accomplishments. The easily navigated social media sites will be a great tool for all users. I want to thank our Sports Information and Marketing Departments, specifically Athletic Communications Specialist Brandon Warr, the relaunch committee, and all of the folks at SIDEARM Sports, for helping create an exciting website."

In addition to the new look, the website will give users more streamlined access and allow for easier navigation from page to page. Users will be able to access more information from the homepage, and other new features include more prominent social media, exposure for sponsors and an overall sleeker look.

The fresh site will continue to provide news releases, game recaps and general information about UTPB Athletics, including the university's student-athletes and sports programs. In addition, the site will offer an increased emphasis on social media and visual content integration, further promoting UTPB's athletics programs and the student-athlete experience.

The UTPB sports information and marketing staffs worked with the designers and project managers at SIDEARM Sports on the redesign and will continue to be responsible for uploading new content.

This new look for the athletic website is the latest step in the athletic department's path toward staying in tune with current online trends.
