- Paul reminded the group that the Laravel effort used Bootstrap
- Ralph had hosted this project when it was done back in 2017
- Question on why Lora chose to present all the groups the way she currently has them on TSSG.Tech
- Should we keep the buttons on the bottom or have a nav bar on the top as is typical for a bootstrap site?
- Need to keep in mind with these discussions that we are currently working on the MVP site that will be public facing while we do the big site redesign.
- Need to separate what is for MVP and what is for the final project release
- The bootstrap demo opens new pages in the same tab
- Need to test using phones and tablets
- has been tested on PC browser
- Ralph pointed the team to a wire frame tool called Pencil at https://pencil.evolus.vn/
- Has the team decided that we will go with Bootstrap?
- Is our site too simple to use Bootstrap on it?
- Would it be easier to stick with using HTML and CSS?
- Would CSS Grid and/or Flexbox be better for doing responsive design?
- How easy will it be for someone new on the team to maintain and update the web site once the current developers leave?
- Can NOT depend on all this information being stored in Confluence
- 4 yes to use bootstrap, vote never finished due to going onto other topics
- We may use Bootstrap for the MVP site, and will revisit this question for the main project
- Is our site too simple to use Bootstrap on it?
- Ralph wants to form a project to update the TSSG infrastructure so that if his Confluence site suddenly goes away, we will not lose valuable information
- Longevity Project
- Bring this up at Wednesday meeting as this is TSSG overall, not just Web Team
- CSS3 is NOT supported by all browsers

- Different levels of CSS are supported by different browsers
- Ralph provided a list of possible technologies for post release 1:
- Bootsrap
- CSS3 Grid
- Angular
- Material Design
- ???
- We still need decisions on design, look & feel, navigation, content on each page for the post MVP release
