Web Competitors 2009
 
I was noticing that the thread for this year has not been started yet, so I decided to post it.

This thread is to showcase your team's entree for the Website Award.

This thread is only to post your link and tell a little about the site. If you want to discuss a particular site, element, or rules for the award, post in another thread.

Post your website links!

This is still the 2008 site, so there's a lot of work that's going to be done before it's submitted. (Like that annoying video that repeats on the home-page, and well... a lot of stuff.)

At the very least, the content is getting changed. I'm going to make sure of it. I don't have the necessary skills to change anything beyond that.

Anyway, I think side conversations like this are exactly what wasn't supposed to happen in this thread... :(

The site appears to be down, I'm assuming you're still working on it? If so, it's probably a bit misleading to post it prematurely. If not, then you may want to check your DNS settings or something.

Maaan, after seeing all these sites...I'm disapointed in ours. =(

It doesn't look fancy or have cool graphics but the back end administrative tools are friggin amazing. We've designed a admin content panel that allows anyone to edit the site just like how posts on chief delphi are written. The back end stuff is awesome but I guess I want some tips and advice about the rest of it. Advice is really appreciated.

That's great you developed a great admin panel, but, you need to think of the judges. Are they looking at your admin panel or your site?

One thing I would recommend to improve the design would be to decrease the font sizes. The body/paragraph and navigation text would be great at 12px.

I could probably make you a new design if you want, and you guys could code it.

Yes I know that they're not looking at the admin panel, hence me asking for design help.

I'm not sure how I'd feel about using someone else' design as it wouldn't feel right for me to do that without putting on the site "Designed by ...". You have an IM I could reach you at? I'd be up for seeing some cool designs to incorporate into the website, but I wouldn't like to overhaul the layout or something. Add-ons would be great.

edit: nvm got your IM.

this is pretty much last year's NJ regional winning site, but it has some updates to it, and more work will be done... however, this is probably going to be the layout

Re: Web Competitors 2009
 
I remember your site! I loved it, and still do. Good job. I like how each navigational link only updates the content area, not reloading the whole page, yet there's a distinct URL for each page. To me, that's just magic. Pure magic.

Awesome layout, nice Flash header. Keep up the good work! :)

This our website that we have created this year. Team 2594. This was a big accomplishment for us due to the fact that we had students terminated for certain reasons and that left us with no one with any experience to work on the website. Me and a friend took on the task and it turned out pretty good we think for two people that have no idea what they were doing four weeks ago...
Depending on when you look at the website, you may or may not see an intro video in the begining, we have been having problems with it coming up and ultimately don't have any idea if it will even end up on the site at all.

Hey Everyone,

ILITE Robotics (may remember us as The Robocats) Team 1885 would like to present our new site. Our site was made 100% by our Web Programming Team, and it is our goal to keep all information on it as up-to-date as possible year round. Please take a moment to go through it, as it is among cutting edge web technology. Our site is powered via Microsoft SharePoint technology which uses a combination of ASP.net, Javascript, XML, XLS, and XHTML. We feel it would be useful for everyone to familiarize themselves with the functionality and usability that it offers.

Please offer any thoughts and input, we are very anxious to see how our site appeals to other teams / users.

"risipc, is the site supposed to use the IP address with the domain just as a forwarder, or is something not setup correctly in your DNS?"

synth3tk,

Yes, our new site is just an IP address rather than domain name. Our current site is hosted on a different server than the one that we have our domain name "Battlefield Robotics" on and to retain as much consistency with the community as possible, we left our domain name the same and foward traffic to our new site. Hopefully in the future that will change, but for now it is just an IP address.

As stated earlier in this thread, changing your website after the deadline is a risk your team takes if judges happen to start evaluating your site.

Our team updates even after the deadline as we are still in build season and we post a summary daily of our progress.
In addition, we have the regional events that we are attending posted, and we write a summary of our team's experiences after each one.:D

Site is in our team colors, with a basic template up for each page to cut down on having to edit each individual page. (Still happens, though. I had to change about 20 pages worth of code over a period of 3 days to get it up to date in time for the deadline.) Hopefully the Team website group can help me get everything fixed for next year's competition, once this year's is over.
