Just a few brief tips for the Team 114:
  • Looks like you have fairly good content, which is great! This is usually the biggest problem, so you're off to a great start.
  • Add more color to your layout. This is something I had the most difficulty with, but you can reflect your team colors/identity without being obnoxious or hindering the layout.
  • Have more structure and layout to your content. For example, you might make the section titles on the "About Us" page larger, rather than just bolded and underlined. Also, there seems to be some out-of-place, extra spacing in areas of that page as well.
  • On the FIRST page, do you have permission to use those videos? I imagine they've got some legal constraints in terms of use--you may be violating copyright.

I hope that helps! If you have any questions, let me know, I'd be happy to help.


Thank you very much! I made many of those changes, it does look better! I will try making the header backgrounds an opaque blue color to try to get more team color in there!

Regarding the FIRST videos, they are from Youtube, and all credits are given to them. This should be fine as this is done in many places. Please let me know if you think otherwise.


Thanks!
