| Camp Okoboji |
Framework
The website uses PHP. As the copyright seems to indicate, it's PHP code from 2012. That's not entirely a problem, but some standards have changed in the time since it was built.
Mobile-Friendly
The Camp Okoboji website is not mobile-friendly. That means Google is indexing it lower than competing websites. Here's a link to Google's test results. Those results indicate the website has the following problems on mobile devices:
- Clickable elements too close together
- Viewport not set
- Text too small to read
- Content wider than screen
Other Concerns
There's a lot of content. That makes a rebuild cumbersome. We could do it for around $1000, maybe a little more. I'd recommend contacting the original designer and seeing if they can make it mobile-friendly for less. There's a good reason this website is not included in the web developer's online portfolio. We host sites for $10 a month, too, and they are https, which is the current standard (and also affects searches).
A lot of time has been put into this website, and that content should not be lost if it's upgraded, so I'd be careful with a web designer who wants to start over. We build sites live and migrate all content over, and then we redirect old links. Most web builders just start over and make you work harder. It DOES need to be brought up to current standards, however.
