Re: How did you come to do webpage design?

When designing our webpage (www.frc1410.org) we looked a lot at what other teams had done, and then we took it down, and rebuilt it from the ground up using a front-end approach. We put a lot of emphasis on the ability of a user to easily interact with the site, and take away a pleasing image of the team. One of the things that is key with web design in making everything easy to find.

For recruiting, we've done a lot of asking for volunteers, but one of the most important things is to find somebody who is passionate about outreach, not just designing a webpage. Keep in mind that a webpage is not only a useful tool, but the front of your team for the entire FIRST community and can be used as outreach material.

I wish you luck!

I like your site, nice job! I must say the "Sponsor Us" tab may have been my favorite =) I am wondering though, what is front end/back end? Like user interface/website skeleton?
