So I'm a strange case, but I think a good place to start is to see if anyone on your team has experience in HTML or CSS (I don't, but now I realize how useful that would be). Does anyone know a lot about your team history? Helps organize the team? Reaches out to sponsors? If no one is just interested, you could call on these people to help make your website useful and beautiful. They all have something to give or gain from a good site.

And if that doesn't work, make the freshmen do it.

As far as general recruiting, I'm not really in a position to give advice until I see if our strategy this year worked. I'm crossing my fingers...

Thank you! As of now, we have no freshman =( My school has one web page design class, so I was thinking of talking to the teacher to see if he had any students that really liked it. All of us know about our team history luckily, but I don't believe our team captain has any interest in doing the site. Maybe I'll make a survey about the site for the team... I appreciate the help and by the way, I like your team name!
