Bills Re-Launch Website In Time For This Weekend's NFL Draft

[The_Philster]

The newest members of the Buffalo Bills will be added this Saturday and Sunday during the NFL draft and those players will be featured on a newly-designed buffalobills.com.

Bills President/General Manager Tom Donahoe said, "We are very excited about the re-launch of buffalobills.com. We understand how valuable of a communication tool our website is to our fans and there could not be a more suitable time for this re-launch then right before the draft. Buffalobills.com offers our fans a new-feel to our website that brings them closer to the players, coaches and entire organization. We really believe everyone will thoroughly enjoy the new aspects of buffalobills.com."

The re-launch will take place this Thursday and feature vastly improved content, functionality, design, and exclusive contests. Visitors to the site will notice multiple top stories each day, more photos, audio and video of players, coaches and personnel, an interactive "view from your seat" map and a virtual tour of the stadium, and an improved message board for individuals to interact with Bills fans worldwide. The enhanced site will continue to serve as the best source for official team merchandise and tickets....

But the best info and message boards will still be at www.billszone.com ;)

This proves there's going to be something going down with our first round pick maybe we are going to trade up for Rivers after all or Roethlisburger. Last time the BILLS relaunched our website was when the new jerseys we're unveiled that was big. I don't like the one we have now I'm glad we're relaunching it even though it ranked 4th out of 131 professional sports team web sites :dj: :cheers: :chair: :z: :knock: :couch:

It's Thursday. Nothing new yet. :(

[Dantheman1280]

good that site blows rite now

[The_Philster]

The change is up now :up: Looks sharp

[Michael82]

That is pretty sweet! It looks like they are trying to compete with our graphics and design. :snicker:

i hate new lay-out and i dont think its just because im used to the old one. im all for the more pictures and videos it promises, but as far as the general look of it, i dont think it looks half as sharp as the other one. this one looks like more of a local band's website or a high schoolers unofficial website...at the top it shuold say something really cheesy like "BrAD's BaD A$$ BiLLz PaGe"

[The Spaz]

It looks awesome!:up:

Who designs that website? Americaneagle.com I guess. There are some glaring mistakes in design.

Basics like...

- Use white letters instead of black on a dark blue background

- Duplicate NFL Internet Network Frame at the top makes it look amatuer. Click in the blue space next to the Verizon ad at the bottom and even more NFL Internet Network Frames show up. This is easy to fix, and never should have been there in the first place.

- Captions for top stories are way too closte to the left border.

Of course those are format issues. Content looks good.

I like it - its a huge improvement over the last version, which aethetically was a nightmare IMO.

I wonder how much the Bills shelled out for it.
