After weeks of redesigning, we're finally moving on to the next step of redesigning the Kukui Cup website. We are now in the step of using Bootstrap, a simple HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript structure from Twitter to make the site responsive. After watch watching a bunch of excellent tutorials (found here), Bootstrap seems so much easier to use than the previous frameworks that we have tested.
So far, all I have done is set up a local file structure to prepare to incorporate the new Kukui Cup website with Bootstrap. I am quite excited to begin work using Bootstrap as it seems WORLDS easier than a lot of other frameworks.
In addition to Bootstrap, I have started looking into "less" and good gravy is this going to make my life SO much easier. Sometimes, less is more and in this case it is more and will save me (and the rest of the group) a lot of headache in refactoring CSS files. Less allows us to declare "variables" and save things like colors to them. This will save us from hours of headaches in figuring what color is what and the overall semantics of the CSS file. Finally, some programming-ish features in website design.
