Design Information

Our website was designed by Doug Donnell

 

 and William Donnell

It was orignially built using Microsoft FrontPage, but when MS quit supporting FrontPage, Doug rewrote it using MS Expression Web. William says it's easier to write the code directly using notepad, but Doug is very happy to have the tool to help with the design work.

Please send any comments or questions about the site to webmaster@troop1018.org.

 For website hosting we use ICDSoft (www.icdsoft.com). We've been very pleased with their service.

Our URL was registered through namecheap.com -- good service and a reasonable price

The calendar is generated by  a service called Keep And Share.  We have also begun using them for our photos.  We post to their site and info is linked directly to our website.  It's very easy and user friendly.  I'll post more info once I've had a chance to work with this service for a while.

The original site was built by William using an open source CSS template by Anreas Viklund - http://andreasviklund.com.  Feel free to distribute and use, if proper credit is given. If you're starting from scratch and don't know much about HTML this is a great way to go.

When we rebuilt the site using Cascading Style Sheets we used Eric Meyer's CSS Reset as a means of resetting all sylying parameters.

If you have any questions about the design or how we set up and maintain the website send us an email. We've learned a lot along the way and if you're hiking the same path that we did we can hopefully make your life a little easier.
