Well, Dan didn't do it, but it's a pretty nice fan site, and up-to-date. http://www.wpsmagicjack.com/
Also, Masar is still with MJ. From Equalizer's Jeff... Speaking of magicJack, I’m told Ella Masar is on the roster for Wednesday’s big clash between magicJack and the Flash. Masar had reportedly briefly left the team, but has returned. Exactly what happened there remains unclear.
Hello everyone... Let me know if you have any suggestions for the website. It's pretty limited because there's not much information out there. If anything is outdated or should be added, please let me know.
Nice work @emeybee! Clearly a labor of soccer love. Kudos all around. I checked it out after the Twitter tweets broke the news.
Wow, great job! Lets see what the deal is with not promoting the WPS in all these free national media appearances.
FYI... I've added photos to the player pages and videos of their appearances today to the News section...
Just a general note, on that front page with the various pictures of the players, I think you spelled Shannon Boxx as "Shannon Box." Might want to fix that. Nice job overall! Looks very slick.
The team oughtta hire you. The league oughtta hire you. Tremendously done graphics and way better than any other WPS site! (Only skyblue soccer comes anywhere close.) I especially enjoy how you integrated your site with other up-to-date pages (such as standings, ticket links, rosters, etc) so that there are no "dead links". The WPS site/template needs to adhere to this simple centralized principle. Only 1 downside --You are buried a bit on the second page of google searches for "wps magicjack". In order to make your website seen, you are going to have to try to get some special hash tags w/player names etc. that the search crawlers use. You also may need these tags to include common misspellings such as majicjack or magic [space] jack. Because not every fan went to Harvard, nor has every fan heard of the company or the soccer league yet.
I have to look at the SEO overall, but I only started this on Monday afternoon so I've wanted to get the content up first... Thanks!
It's going to take some time and people linking to it for it to get to its rightful search location. You can't expect a brand new website to top the rankings no matter how well it's been set up to do so.
The layout of the web site is really clean, the look is crisp, and it works in every browser I tried including Lynx. On behalf of newsouth, thanks for adding the photos of Christen Press. On behalf of newsouth, could you please add even more photos of Christen Press? Are tickets still available through FAU Athletics? If so, you might want to add their phone number 1-866-FAU OWLS or 1-866-328-6957. See this page for season ticket info. I hesitate to ask, but will you be adding pages for the ownership, coaching staff, and/or front office?
Terrific site. As of fifteen minutes from now (midnight on 7/20 - 7/21), Nikki Marshall is a Boston Breaker. Andy
If you send me pics I'll add em It's really tough finding photos of the players in magicJack uniforms. Hopefully someone got one of Rapinoe tonight since her photo area is lacking. I have no idea if tickets are available through FAU... anyone else know? WPS links to Ticketmaster so that's what I did. I will add the information if it's still accurate. Beyond Borislow I can find basically ZERO information on management. I've been looking too... so that's why I left that section out, it would have been blank. I'm about as far as you can get from Boca out here in CA, so if anyone knows of more information resources please feel free to pass them along.
Random stats if anyone is curious...this is all since this morning when I turned the stats on: 6,450 total page views That's all basically from word of mouth since no one official links to the site. Imagine how many potential fans magicJack lost out on during the World Cup... Most player views: Solo (292), Rapinoe (225), Wambach (179), Huffman (72), Rampone (60)... -- Not surprised at the first 3, but am surprised that Rapinoe is above Wambach, and very surprised that Huffman is so high. Anyway, take it for what you will...
My take away? That you're awesome. And WPS should get on the horn w/ you. Andy: Make it happen! (emeybee, if you weren't aware before, poster Andy Crossley is the GM of the Boston Breakers)
I'm sure he has Borislow on speed-dial J/K Definitely contact the league's comms specialist (you obviously have her contact), ironically getting the team's support should be the toughest challenge...what a world, right? Seriously: Job well done. Will definitely be following your site.
That's a staggering number in such a small amount of time. But that, combined with below: Makes me think that tune in must have been pretty high last night. Huffman had alot of possesions=tv time. And people just love Rapinoe's hair. Regardless, that's awesome news--both for your site and league!
I just called FAU Athletics to ask. magicJack tickets are available through both Ticketmaster and the FAU Athletics office. 1-866-FAU OWLS or 1-866-328-6957
