New Skittles League Website

5 June 2022

Welcome to the new website. 

The old site has served us well since it was created in 2009 when 98% of views were on a desktop PC. The stats today show more than 60% of page views are on a mobile phone so we decided that it was time to re-design the site so make it far easier to read on a small screen. 

We are going live with it now to use the Summer Season as a test. You'll notice some pages are currently missing or do not contain all the information previously available on the old website. In the coming weeks we will endevour to add this content back on and, as we get nearer to the Winter 2022-23 Season, most if not all will be published.

Each team page is currently being developed to include the Winter averages. In time, those who have been using Google Drive will be given an account to log-in to this site to manage their page & averages. The spreadsheets will no longer be needed.

This new site has been specifically created for us by 'o9 design' who will continue to work with us to improve it. With this in mind, we would welcome your ideas on features you would like to see added and your suggestions to make it more user friendly. Also, if you notice any issues please let us know so they can be corrected. The 'Contact us' page can be found under the 'ABOUT' tab at the top of the page.
