🧭 Design Origins

Inspired by Web Designer’s Reference by Craig Grannell (ISBN 1-59059-430-4), the site is hand-coded using CSS and XHTML.

🧭 Major Redesign

On 5 March 2012, the layout was overhauled to support a more intuitive menu and mobile/tablet compatibility. Testing in Maidenhead led to a dynamic three-column design that adapts to screen width.

PHP Enhancements: In 2015, PHP was added to display dates on the home menu. These dates were read from the file information and automatically reflected when a change had been made. This helped readers find new content, particularly match reports, without the need to manually search. This idea was significantly improved in July 2025 (with a little help from AI!) to change the output for new content and add colour.

🏆 What Makes This Site Special

This isn’t just a website—it’s a living archive of our club’s social history. Thanks to contributions from team captains and members, we’ve built a rich tapestry of match reports, news, and stories that reflect the spirit of Fylde Croquet Club.
