Website Resources

When it comes to developing and coding a website, there are plenty of resources. Good coding practices are important no matter what template/s you decide to use. Team 1816 uses Drupal and custom codes the site so that it displays properly in all web browsers and platforms. Since we set up our website in 2007, we have re-designed it several times, but always it remains student designed, developed and maintained. Our team calendar is based on Drupal, but exports into a Google calendar for those of us on the go. We also have a mobile site for those who prefer that format. There is a link at the bottom of that page to bring you back to the main website. With many of us now using mobile devices, we have found that our main site shows well on smartphones and tablets, too.
