We originally built the website for the Devon area of the Girlguiding UK association back in 2008 using Drupal 6. In 2013, the group needed some changes to reflect the new corporate style of Girlguiding UK and also felt the need to update the look of the website and to have it adapt so that it can be viewed on different screens, and mobile and tablets in particular. The website was upgraded to Drupal 7, and mobile friendly features were introduced. In 2023 the website was upgraded to Backdrop CMS with some overall improvements to appearance.
There is a members'-only area that provides content for Guiders and support teams and this is available to the thousand -plus registered users. With occasional changes to membership, this needed to be readily updateable. The site also features an events diary, downloadable documents, a slideshow in the header and an interactive map showing locations of the different divisions of the county.
The latest development includes addition of an online shop feature, with some products available to the general public and some products available only to registered members.
