I'll say the same thing I say to every new website: if possible, ditch the entry page. Other than that, I really like the look and feel of your site--very clean, very professional.

One other comment: when I click the links for your sponsors, your address stays in the browser. It look like it has something to do with frames, which is odd, since it doesn't look like your site actually uses frames. Oh well.


Once again: very nice-looking.

The only reason the address doesn't change is because I masked the real address. For anyone who really wants to know it they'll be able to find it.

That's no big deal. My point was that if I click on, for instance, the XBox link on the left, it opens the Xbox site but still displays your address. If I then follow a link from the Xbox site, it still displays your address.

I'm quite impressed.

the colors might get hard on the eyes after being viewed for too long, I would suggest changing the white text parts to a slightly more gray.

hm... nice layout.. no backend i guess.. though using a scripting language would save you guys a lot of time. Faster loading of pages, easier update. Though still a great job. :D

810 Website:
That is cool that the picture on the title page randomizes (is that a word) itself when you click on it again, but my impressi0n is that title pages are over-rated and just use up more room on your server that could possibly be used elsewhere.

I personally like title pages.



randomizes - (is that a word???) :D

I love the site design, Awesome job! My only complaint is the length of the pages. I used to not care about page lengths but after having it beat into me by others that you should keep the pages so that minimum scrolling is needed, its actually starting to annoy me slightly. I'm thinking MAYBE a basic news page with links to other news sections on the main page. Juss a thought though! Good luck with the site, again, awesome design, love the colors and graphics!

the layout is nice but the page only displays correctly in IE. I tried it in Mozilla, netscape and opera. None of them displayed it corectly.

Wow. That certainly is a Microsoft-friendly webpage. Well...it looks right on Lynx and Links...but that's not very hard to do :) Opera, Netscape, Mozilla, Konqueror...everything messes that up. Ouch. Nice layout...if it worked.

The SHSRobotics site looks really messed with Mozilla. I only use Mozilla BTW. Far superior to IE, IMHO- pure W3C. In any case, everything is out of aligment. And yes, scrolling is annoying.

My only real comment on SHS is that
a) I don't quite care for the color combinations, but I just don't like most of the green web-safe colors that exist. Personal preference;-)
and
b) It seems to load PAINSTAKINGLY slow in IE 5.1.6/Mac, even on a G3/400 with a gig of RAM and a VERY high-speed connection...

Hmm, just thoughts...
