Re: First Website Revision

Shawn,
I would say that an "About Our Team" page/section is almost mandatory. Maybe you could name the tab "About Our Team" instead of just "About"? (which is a little unclear). And then replace the "About Our Team" page with one on your teams history (as detailed or basic) as you like. However, I think its important to tell the story of your team because it gives people a sense or who you are and where you have come from.

In case you haven't seen this (although you probably have) the website judging criteria can be found at http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default...20 manual.pdf (pages 2 and 3) While you should never work only to win an award (because that rarely works) the criteria can give a sense of what is important to stress in your website. Plus, its always nice to have some guidelines.

There might be an easy way to reduce the amount of scrolling (and therefore add more content in each screenshot). Your main content container is centered and seems to fill about 60-75% of the screen. Perhaps trying playing around with percentages to make it take up more space? Even if its just a little bit you will retain the bright blue feeling while showing more information in a quick glance.

(oh, and I like the bright blue shadows..)
