Team Website Guidelines

Building a Team Website

Teams are responsible for building and hosting their websites.  Most teams will use free hosting sites, such as Weebly, Wix, Google Sites, or host the team site on their Terpconnect account, though you are welcome to host the site through whatever means you would like.

New teams should have their website complete by the first day of classes of their sophomore year.  All teams should be sure to keep their websites up to date as their project progresses and changes.
