The 2010 Website
In the beginning...
After gaining much experience from mainaining our old site and writing FIRSTConnects.Us, we started work on the new site this summer. Since our team has a history of web excellence, we had much to live up to, and many frantic email threads went into our plan for the new site. Based off of those plans, we wrote a new, efficient php backend that is designed to not only give users a unified, completely Stuypulse experience, but also to be intuitive enough to edit for all team members to use. Since then, team members with many different backgrounds have written content to the site, and their suggestions have been keeping our web team busy all season.
The Nitty Gritty:
The site is written in php and calls content and modules on the site from a MYSQL database. Logged-in users can edit any page on the site through our easy WYSIWYG editors. The frontend of the site is based of a previous year's look, meant to look professional but have a Web 2.0 feel. However, it has been streamlined a bit and spruced up with the industry standard JQuery javascript library.
Problems? Questions? Comments?
Contact this year's web team on the contact page and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Web coding questions are good too: we couldn't have gotten to where we are now without the generous tutorials and answers from others in the web development community!
