Re: Bacon Academy Website
Visual Response
Pros:
-Quick to load
-Easy to use design
-Clean and compact
Advice:
-Optimize the images to make them smaller in data size
-Make the background a color other than white
-Keep all design images (menu buttons, title images, etc) included in a background image. This way, when people select your entire site, only the text is highlighted. It's also neater markup.
-Add Javascript effects to those links.
Technical Response
Pros:
-Well labled, well indented
-Essentially valid markup
-Consistent style
-Fairly good use of CSS to replace attributes
Advice:
- Use DIVs instead of tables to align content in your page. You can probably shave half the HTML from your site with this method
- Move the script at the beginning of the page inside the HEAD section
- Remotely link all scripts, if possible
- Set it up to validate with the W3 checker (XHTML strict, preferably)
- The date can easily be generated with ASP, so don't use Javascript
Content Response
Pros:
-Easy to get basic information
-Nice calendar design with popup info
-Good job including basic team info on front page
Advice:
-Set up the forums
-Make thumbnails for the image gallery
-Add more info about individual players
-Add more information about the team in general... a history, quotes, involvement in the community, etc
Overall, if I were to judge this site competitively today, I would give it a 6/10. Considering that your not finished, this is actually fairly high (it's probably better now than most of the finished sites will be). Keep up the good work!
