Re: Website critiques?

Hi, I am the head of Team 4's website.

I like the color scheme of your website. I have a few suggestions. First, I would center align you menu bar, because it looks a little shifted to the right. I think that it would look cleaner in the center. Also, you should always make your header images "non-draggable."

Since your image is not placed as a CSS background, add the following code to the end of your img tag for the header image:
Code:
onContextMenu="return false" onDragStart="return false"
Example:
Code:
<img style="border-radius: 0px; box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000000; border: 0px; float: right; padding: 5px; width: 250px; height: 195px;" src="assets/images/FRCicon_Reverse.gif" alt="FIRST Robotics Competition Logo" title="FIRST Robotics Competition Logo" onContextMenu="return false" onDragStart="return false" />
I would also recommend that you format your HTML and CSS code.
For HTML, use: freeformatter.com/html-formatter.html
for CSS, you can look at our website's code: team4element.com/assets/css/style.css

All of your CSS should be in external documents and then you would reference them into your HTML Documents.

I would recommend that you make your website's HTML and CSS code W3 Validated. You can check it using the following links:

HTML: validator.w3.org
CSS: jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

If you want, I can review and grade your website according to the FRC Website Award Criteria. I would just take a little while. If you are going to make major changes from the state that it is in now, I would like to grade it before and after, to see the differences.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me. I am here to help anyone that needs it!

Otherwise, I like the overall design of your website and it is very attractive. I would just make a few changes and your team should have an awesome website.
