Re: WEBSITE

I've seen many teams use www.webs.com for creating free websites. I also have know that you could use www.wordpress.com

These are web-based website builders that are free.

Weebly is decent and easy. You can also make a blog which is easy to update. So if you don't mind the .weebly.com added to your website address then it's pretty nice.

Re: WEBSITE

Since our team started we have used yahoo pages, google pages, moonfruit and I think at one point in time wordpress. Since then we have broken down and paid for a domain name and hosting fees.

If you have the capabilities to create and design a webpage you have find hosting sites that cost very little.

Re: WEBSITE

We just started switching over our website to wordpress. We did that since it is so easy even I can use it, so I figure pretty much anyone can use it. Of course you'll have to find somewhere to host it. Check with your local FIRST officials for options, FIRST WA hosts sites for teams in our state.

This just went live on Mon, we have a number of upgrades we want to make and a lot of stuff that needs to be ported over but we are very happy so far. http://tahomarobotics.org/

Re: WEBSITE

we used to code in straight up HTML in the past. But this year we're using Drupal for out website. Our website is still a work in progress.
Ask yourself what you want on your website. And then chose from your options!

Re: WEBSITE

I would also look at Joomla. That is what I use, and there are many modules that are free to help build your website. If you have any questions about the Joomla system shoot me a PM.

Joomla is actually what we are switching away from to Wordpress. In our experience Wordpress is easier for a non-computer type person to use and we want all of our team members to contribute to the website content, not just the programmer/computer savvy types.

Well I do agree that it may be a little bit more on Joomla to get some things implemented, but it is very easy to implment a system where everyone can contribute just like a blog.

Re: WEBSITE

Check out the FIRST BAA's website presentation, it has some tips that might help you start out: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=98174

Definitely use a content management system of some sort. It's not worth it to make a static HTML page, unless you really want to learn about web design/programming.

My suggestion would be drupal gardens. I forget the address, but a quick google should work.

Re: WEBSITE

Google sites is fairly good, but it can be buggy at times. Multiple people can edit it in a similar fashion to Google docs, but they all have to have gmail accounts. It's fairly easy to use as well.
