Re: New site for team 1103

It's a nice attempt at creating the site, and I give you all respect for trying, but here's some things to work on:
  • Flash - Flash is nice, but an entire site made in flash is not a good idea.
    • The courser is a little weird, and only shows on the flash, try and keep things consistent and implement a code that will produce the same courser effect off of the flash
    • Try creating a mix of a HTML/CSS layout with the Flash. Make the lay out in HTML/CSS, and maybe make a flash header for the page.
  • Spelling - Before launching your site to the CD community (again) run a spell check, I've been working on my teams site for months and have not done a full launch into the public yet becuase of the spelling.
    • Not using flash for the entire website is an easy way to ensure that spelling is correct, if typing the pages by hand in a browser window, try and acquire a browser that has a built in spell check.
  • Back Button - It's really weird, maybe it's just for me but it doesn't bring me back to the last portion of the Flash I was last viewing.
    • If you do decided to move over to a HTML/CSS layout, there is a link/java script that you can use to ensure that the page the person just visited is displayed when they click the back button.
  • Splash Page - They're cool at first, but for people who visit quite often, they can get annoying after a while
    • The hover robot is pretty neat, try moving it to a page where you can create more of these and turn it into a guessing game type of thing.

Keep in mind that a team website should NOT be created just to enter the website award. The site should be a resource for your team to use. When it comes to creating content, create what will help the team first and what will impress the judges later. What you have is a good start and it really needs some work.

Best of luck
