We don't slide at Appalachian State.  It's a sign of weakness.

Re: App State Tailgate is live
So I do web development/design as part of my job and all of these fan run sites are almost always poorly designed. Understandably so, but it's annoying how cheap they all are.  I fully came in here expecting to click on the link and snicker like a web design elitist at another half-assed fan site.  However you or whoever made it did a fantastic job! Very clean and high quality graphics.  Layout is super easy to follow and it flows really well.  Awesome job!  Better than App State's buggy/laggy official athletics site. Hope it catches on and you get good exposure.

Re: App State Tailgate is live
Wow thanks for the compliment! I had some experience with Wordpress and some money so I purchased a premium theme and customized it a little bit and changed the colors to App’s. Keith Norris does all the graphics for the site and I think they are what really make it. I believe he did the current graphic for Yosef’s Cabin too. Also App is letting us use their sports photos which is huge.Ncmtn wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 3:48 pmSo I do web development/design as part of my job and all of these fan run sites are almost always poorly designed.
