About the Web Site

History of the SCAFS web site

This web site was redeveloped from the ground up in November 2006 with the goals of making it as easy as possible to find information quickly, and to update the site's behind-the-scenes programming to meet modern web design standards. The use of such standards allow it to load fast, have a consistent appearance, look good on screen, print well, and be easily updated. Web development time and expertise was volunteered by Tim Snoots.

I hope everyone likes the new format. If you have any comments or questions about the web site's design or technical details please contact Tim (your current SCAFS Webmaster). For questions or comments about the the organization or the content of this web site please visit the Contact Us page and direct your question to the appropriate person.

With the relaunch of the site in 2006 the site was also moved to a new home on a SCDNR web server (thanks SCDNR for hosting the site for a few years). Then, in February 2008, SCFWA and SCAFS jointly obtained a new web hosting providor and our site was moved off of DNR's server.

An archive of the old site (prior to November 2006) is available for download in Acobat PDF format [3.4 MB]. We thank Jason Moak for hosting and maintaining the site during those years.

Technical Details

All HTML, CSS, and PHP code on this site is hand coded by Tim Snoots using BBEdit on various Apple Mac hardware running Mac OS X. The code complies with the HTML 4.01 "Strict" DTD, all formatting and layout are through CSS, pages use UTF-8 encoding, and the site meets Level A conformance to the the W3C's accessibility guidelines. This site contains no JavaScript, ActiveX, Java, Flash, or pop-ups and does not use cookies or collect any information about you.

Therefore, this site should load fast, look great, and have a stable, consistent appearance in nearly any recent, standards-compliant web browser on any computer platform (it even works in Microsoft Internet Explorer - the web developer's nightmare). The appearance of this site has been tested with current versions of the Safari, Firefox, Opera, Lynx, Konqueror, and Internet Explorer web browsers on Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. Special CSS style sheets are also in use that result in well formated printed pages.
