History

WSCA Online was one of the first Web presentations of swiss swimming clubs. WSCA Online went live end of 1995 with only one page and without a stable URL. This is the fourth generation of design. It was always important for us to present useful information to our members and friends. We never meant to be a general swimming site.

Infrastructure

From 1995 till 1999 we published WSCA Online on a private (payed) page of Internet Access AG. We then moved to the free ISP dplanet operated by Internet Access and diAx. Since September 2001 WSCA Online owns its own domain and is now professionally hosted by netzone under the "not-for-profit-contract.
After a long time of web development on NeXT and OPENSTEP, we switched to Windows and develop using Uli Meybohm's Phase5 HTML Editor. We use Lynx, Netscape (4.7 und 7), Mozilla and Internet Explorer 6 (on Windows 2000, XP and MacOS) to preview and test our pages.
From time to time we run our site through the common online test tools and check for correctness, readyness for search engines and popularity.
Our pages use HTML 4.0 with cascading style sheets (CSS) but they should also produce good results with HTML 3 or 2 without extensions. They should be readable with any browser.
Viewable With Any Browser Campaign for a browser independent web!
