Who is the target audience for your website?

Anyone interested in U.S. Navy history and especially that of the USS Fletcher, the first destroyer of a 175 ship class of destroyers that helped win WWII in the Pacific.

Tell us a story about this website.

It started in 2001 as a hand-coded website on Yahoo and gradually advanced from there.

Why did you use this Sandvox design?

The current site style, Earth and Sky Blue, was chosen because of its simplicity and colors which adapted well to the website's subject matter. I previously used Cirrus, which is similar.

What techniques did you use to build this website?

For the history pages I did a great deal of cut and paste from the old pages created by NetObjects Fusion, then reformatting them to make them presentable. What I thought would be a huge undertaking turned out to be a rather simple job.
