IPC Website Gets Brand New Look

IPC celebrates 20 year anniversary Friday

Bonn, Germany - Yesterday, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) relaunched its official website www.paralympic.org.

Just in time for Friday’s celebration of the 20-Year Anniversary of the
IPC, the website has received a complete face-lift with new features
including RSS Feed, News Widgets, Flash Animation, a Calendar and an
embedded link to IPC’s YouTube channel.

The new website will continue to be the main source of information to
the Paralympic Family and fans of Paralympic Sport. Established
sections such as the Media Centre and the Athlete Club will continually
be updated and extended.

IPC CEO Xavier Gonzalez stated: “The IPC’s new website is colourful,
modern and much easier to navigate. With new features and a new look,
we want to make Paralympic.org a one-step source for information,
pictures and videos on the Paralympic Games and Paralympic Movement.
The website is an important part of our effort to raise awareness and
spread the Paralympic Mission and Vision.”

In close collaboration with Netempire AG - responsible for concept,
project management, technical implementation and web design - the IPC
has ensured that the site remains accessible according to W3C standards
and easy to use.
