Font color is an area that I was having issues with. Also, I was having trouble getting the links to be noticeable without the grey highlight.

Would you please try looking at the site again. I changed the font. Though I know it won't totally fix the black on red issue, it may help. The font looks crisper to me.

Hi,
My computer resolution is 1920x1200. To get the menu content centered you could try adding a text-align:center; or a margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; to your css.

I checked your website again and yes the font looks easier to read. I understand that it takes a lot of work to change colors/fonts on websites. For the links perhaps some shade of blue?

Your menu is all the way over to the left for me since I have a high resolution browser. Also, it would be great if you could include a welcome message that explains what your team is and a little about FIRST to make people want to read more.

Black front on the red background is really hard on the eyes. I would suggest either switching to white font (still hard on the eyes but easier to read) or flipping your color scheme so that the background is red and your main div is white with black text. Not really a big deal but it might help people with older eyes.

With your links you might want to think of switching the colors so they don't need grey highlights. As soon as I land on the a page the links pop out at me and distract me from the page content.

Great content otherwise. I love, love, love your sponsor page. It is very easy to read and it is really neat how you wrote something for each sponsor!
Maybe you could write something on the challenge page explaining why there are challenges. You never know what order vistors will view your pages so try to make it easier for them to understand what things are.

Thank you for your help. That is a high resolution monitor .

I went with a light blue for most of the links and they look good without a highlight.

First off, awesome site. I always like how professional some sites look. Definitely gives a first impression! I love the QR-Code lol. Overall nice site (especially the logo and use of the first logo elements). However, I do have to say the background is a little busy. Maybe less would be better when it comes to your site? I would also throw a small suggestion up to add a hover state for your drop-down menu items. Maybe a simple white text (bolder) or a white color change or something. Again overall nice site. Is there a mobile version?

Otherwise, your site looks awesome! Keep up the good work.

Yes, I realize the issue. I use chrome as well. I'm having trouble changing it, but I'm confident that I'll figure it out.

Thanks for the input, it was worth it's weight in gold!

When I went to the homepage I was a bit confused since all that appeared was blog posts and a mini team bio on the sidebar. I don't really know the limitations of Wordpress but would it be possible to include a short welcome message at the top of the page and maybe the FIRST logo? People not familiar with FIRST or your team might be confused and pass the rest of your great content over if they are not grabbed and have a reason to look further.
Also, would it be possible to remove the title="" tags from your navigation? I have a hard time clicking on the right links because the image titles get in the way.
Otherwise very nice site and good content!

Thanks for the input! I'll take it all into account.

I'll try and hook'em.

Thanks for the feedback! the menu has a hover state, the text goes from white to grey...maybe it's just not too noticeable with your monitor's settings. and nope, no mobile version yet. it works fine on most phones though.
