Re: Team Websites?

My team's never been that big on social media, including website. We had a cheap GoDaddy one (that is still sadly our main site) which I believe is basic package. I'm currently working on a new one through Wix because it's free unless you ant and specific designs or a custom domain, but there's a lot of freedoms to creating and designing it. It also comes with a mobile website that you can edit online at the same time which is a pretty cool option.

Re: Team Websites?

We just created a website this year. We ended up using Joomla and found a free hosting website-- a basic template was downloaded and all the css, layout, bottons/menus, and animations were coded to suit the team. It doesn't look the best, in my opinion, but it suits our purposes.

I'd say the biggest thing is typography-- changing the text font/size can make the whole website look different without completely redoing previous work.

Re: Team Websites?

We used weebly. I took one of their themes and added some custom fonts to make the theme look better for our team. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

Re: Team Websites?

Weebly seems to be a favorite among teams. I have to go try it out sometime. How much will it cost to remove the (.weebly)?

Re: Team Websites?

We use WIX, it works well for us (although I personally prefer SquareSpace). The main reason we're using it now is because of the browser editor and how well it handles HTML 5. Check it out at www.theflyingtoasters.org
