Re: Thoughts, Opinions, Comments

A couple things that I can think of...

The FIRST Logo that you got from the website, (it is not fully the original copy, as in the registered thingy is not there along with that you edited the "FIRST" out of the image, that is still part of the image in my opinion.

The contact page, I would suggest having only a couple emails, like a webmaster one, a general team one (that gets sent to like the captains and mentors and they can then distribute info). I would do that instead of, and this is assuming, everyone on the team or who signs up will get thier information exposed to everyone. I might suggest having the couple of emails like I said above and then those that are registered on your site can then see everyones contact information.

If you are going to have the navigation on the side AND the top, have the side one on EVERY page as it makes the site uninviting if you have to keep visiting the home page to click on those links in my opinion.

Also not everyone has Firefox, I prefere Firefox myself but it is also good to have it work in explorer and safari too. You never know(if submitting for website design) what browser that they may use to judge. When I viewed it in explorer on the team page the little gray background saying that this site was designed for firefox thing was not at the bottom of the page. Just another thought of food.

I might also suggest having your own page describing FIRST, not just for those that don't like browsing external links but also for the website design awards, that is one thing that they look for and judge on.

Currently this is all I can think of for now. Sorry if I may seem a little to over critism, this is stuff that I like to look for when I ask people to check our site. I do like the site, the color scheme is very inviting. I really like it.
