Re: Team 1305's Website

Very nice website. These were my general thoughts after a quick scan.

Overall, your front page is good. It has a very clean design. Web users often do not like to scroll and the fact that your home page fit well within the window is definitely good. Your page is very white, which gives it a certain elegance. However, remember that a lot of the website grade comes from how well your site shows your teams personality. Now if white is your dominant color, then you are doing great. The only thing I would think to change about the front page is that everything seems fit in well except for the links to your social media. They seem awkwardly off to the side and my eye was immediately drawn to that.

It seems that one the subpages the side menu bar is pushed rather far down?

You have a lot of content. To me that is the most important thing and I really liked how much info you had. That is a very unique way of doing the students/mentors section. I thought I had seen all the different ways - but I guess not! Very original. Solid Sponsor and Contact Us page as well. And the Media section - I liked your set up. The Resource Section was also fairly comprehensive. The style of organizing documents based on who would be most interested in them is definitely helpful to the average user.

You have a Social Media page, which is a nice touch, but I'm not entirely sure if it is needed considering you have the three main links on the side of all pages. Your outreach page gave the a nice feel for how much you guys are involved in your community. I don't know if an outside person would read it, but it does give that quantity feel. Don't you just love Google Calendar? I do. Very detailed Robots page as well, very helpful. I'm not too sure if the build page is necessary, its information could probably easily be put in the robots page. I like the addition of the competition page though. Very informative Result page (Congrats on Deans List and Engineering Inspiration!)
