Charlotte, NC - Johnson & Wales has collaborated with Sidearm Sports to launch a new and improved website at charlotte.jwuathletics.com.

Operating in the LEARFIELD portfolio of companies since June 2014, SIDEARM Sports is the nation's leading digital provider for college athletics. Based in Syracuse, N.Y. and founded in 2000 by Jeff Rubin, who continues to lead the business, SIDEARM is trusted by some of the biggest brands in the industry, including the majority of NCAA programs and Power Five athletic departments. As a leader in digital fan engagement, SIDEARM Sports provides the best-in-class software and technology that powers websites, mobile applications, OTT media services, live stats, video streaming and more for its partners. Clients continue to trust SIDEARM for its support, reliability, customization and easy-to-use interface that allows schools to tailor their content and digital presence directly for their fans.

The new site includes features such as photo galleries, enhanced student-athlete and staff bios, scores and schedules, links to team social media accounts, scores and schedules, statistics, camps, and more. The new site is visually appealing and allows for the finding of pertinent information with ease.

Additionally, the site is responsive across both desktop and mobile devices. Pages are formatted to adjust automatically to display on whatever screen size the user is viewing them on. This new site was also designed with accessibility in mind. Sidearm is committed to being the industry leader in ADA compliance, and was a key factor in cementing this new partnership with Johnson & Wales.

Chuck Charles, Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Information feels that the new site will help Wildcat fans engage even easier with their favorite Wildcat student-athletes and teams. "The design and support teams at Sidearm have been great to work with, and I am excited about the site they've designed for us. They listened to our wants and needs and incorporated those into a visually appealing, modern, crisp layout that meets both our current needs and our desire to grow in the future. I'm thrilled that our student-athletes, their friends and family, and our Wildcat supporters as a whole will be able to utilize the new site to stay connected with all things JWU Charlotte athletics!"
