[Rhodes22-list] A New Website?

[Lowe, Rob]

Peter,
I agree, hand-coded HTML gives you better control but does restrict those who can assist in building and maintaining it.  Our office web site is HTML and PHP and drives the powers that be crazy.  They want us to use the university CMS, which does not have the functionality that we need.  But hey, you built it so we'll do it your way.  I think we have enough developers here to offer you support if you need it.  Thanks again for your efforts. - rob

Rob,

I meant to mention that aspect, but forgot.  Everything I’ve done is hand-coded HTML and CSS.  No web development software was used other than a text editor.  As a developer, I think this approach gives me the best control over the end product.  If the coding is done with some care, I think it also produces a website that’s easier to maintain than some other approaches.

We are using Weebly for our clubs web site which allows for multiple people with no HTML experience to build and maintain it.  And thanks for not using Wordpress!  - rob
