Welcome to the new FBSchedules.com website! Our site is now completely responsive for mobile and features a new logo and menus.
Notice that I didn’t say “all new.” Some of the same layout details remain similar to our previous design, including the desktop version of the football schedules and the article layout.
You’ll notice small design changes in those areas, including the use of the Google Open Sans font, the removal of many borders and lines, and new social sharing icons.
So what exactly is new? Let’s take a look:
FBSchedules Logo
Our new logo is the fourth logo we’ve used and I think it’s the best yet. Clean, simple, and bold! The logo was selected after reviewing several design submissions from various artists at 99 Designs.
Desktop Menu
The desktop menu is essentially the same as our previous menu. However, the new menu includes headers on the college section to better separate the conferences from the postseason schedules and other schedules.
Mobile Menu
Our previous mobile menu was simply our desktop menu adapted to mobile devices. It was basically a stop-gap measure.
This new menu is designed specifically for mobile and touch devices. You’ll also see this menu on a desktop/laptop computer if your browser window is narrow.
College/NFL Team Pages
The college and NFL team pages, such as Alabama and Denver, are now fully responsive for mobile phones and tablets.
College/NFL Schedule Pages
College and NFL schedule pages used to just compress and drop the helmet images on mobile. Now we have a new responsive design for mobile and desktop at certain browser widths.
Now you get the same information and helmet logos on mobile as you do on desktop.
Well that’s pretty much it. Let us know what you think of the new design, and if you see any quirks or bugs, let us know that too.
We did our best to test for as many bugs as possible, but there’s always a chance one or two slipped through.
And don’t forget the 2016 college football season begins tonight! It’s Cal vs. Hawaii in the Sydney Cup in Australia, live at 10pm ET/7pm PT on ESPN.
