Re: Web critique

Here are some of my quick first thoughts...

I think that your front page shows the personality of your team. Not only is it an important part of the website judging but it also brands your team by giving visitors a feel from your identity. Most users don't like to have to scroll on a webpage, which works well with your home page. However, I do feel like you could give a little bit more information on the opening page. Your large template-design-graphic could limit how much content you can fit on screen.

I like your use of Google Calendar (everyone, including myself uses it, its just the best). However I think it would give a better feel if the Calendar was either bigger or in the month mode. Your 'FIRST' and 'History' sections cover the important info, which is good. I like your two documents on the resource page, they seem very useful. However, I would put a description of them on the page so that people have a feel for what each document is (it will entice them).

Your about us section was very well done with a lot of information about your team. Our mentors don't let us put students full names or email addresses due to privacy concerns, but each team must make that decision for themselves.
