I made a gallery of wing web sites to look at how wings are presenting CAP online:

Number 14 and 36 is near impossible to read...
That was a nice idea to put all sites side by side. I gotta say some look darn good. Unfortunately for my wing (CAWG) it looks as if it was created 10 years ago and never revised... maybe we west coast people are more sentimental and nostalgic. :angel:
I'm running through them and adding the wing as a caption and cropping the longer pages a little. CAWG's site has looked like that for many years indeed.

Close, according to the internet wayback machine they've been using it since 2000
That sounds about right. It was completely revised not long after I joined the wing.
I'm glad CAWG has a simple website. It makes it much faster to load and in my opinion much easier to navigate. I still wish we had the cap.gov website. Adding fanciness doesn't help anything except MAYBE PR. So if CAWG were to update their website I'd strongly prefer internal and external websites.
Simplicity, speed, and good a user interface are functions of good design and development. Don't let the NHQ web site fool you into thinking that is the way of the future.
I revised the gallery a bit. I trimmed some of the longest pages and added all the wing names below their images while you are looking at the full gallery view. It's better now.
Do you have a similar site for Region websites? Or could you also include the Region websites?

Picky, picky! >:D
Yeah...later. I'm going to cut down some more of the wing sites a little first...
Alright, here are the Region web sites:
