With no VAFA footy over the Kings Birthday long weekend, the focus has been online with the launch of the new VAFA website, as we head towards the mid-way point of the 2024 season.
The brand-new VAFA.com.au is a completely new platform, built from the ground up, and represents a significant step forward in providing a superior online experience for the large VAFA community.
While the previous website had served the Association well over 16 years, it has now been retired to make way for a modern, intuitive, and more user-friendly platform. This comprehensive overhaul promises a more streamlined and efficient digital experience for users.
The new site offers a range of new and improved features with a design optimised for mobile devices, while making it easier to find what you’re looking for.
Enhanced Club pages are branded in club colours and include club info, social links, news, video and maps, while the section pages also have a new look and include direct links to fixtures and results, news and video.
News and video is presented better on the new site, which is fitting given the amount of quality content being produced in 2024 internally and from VAFA’s volunteer reporters, while all 7,000 articles have been imported across from the old site.
VAFATV has a new look, now also with the ability to filter match replay videos by section, round and club.
Improved access to the SEN Match of the Day every Saturday – tune in to VAFA’s live coverage with one click by visiting the VAFA website every Saturday afternoon.
The Homepage now features the best of VAFA content including latest and featured news, video and match replays, Premier Data stats from William Buck Premier Men’s, social media, latest podcasts and featured promotions, while the new site features enhanced commercial integration for VAFA’s valued partners.
The new site will continue to evolve, with more features and content to be revealed in the coming weeks, including the direct integration of VAFA fixtures, results, ladders and live scores.
VAFA’s Head of Media and Digital – Cameron Voss, shared his excitement about the launch: “The new VAFA website is a testament to our commitment to providing the best possible digital experience for the VAFA community. We’ve listened to feedback and in collaboration with our website partner Powahaus, built a platform that we believe truly meets their needs. This website not only enhances the way we share information but also strengthens the connection within the VAFA community.”
The launch of the new VAFA.com.au marks a new era for the Victorian Amateur Football Association, with the new platform designed to keep the VAFA community engaged and connected like never before.
