Starting and editing a website?

[R.C.]

We've done a ton of website designs, liked none of them really.

We finally just worked on a joomla template and switched entirely over to joomla.

So far, we like the flexibility and ability to add content, by summer we'll have 3-4x more information on it. I highly recommend joomla, drupal or any other CMS with decent support.

Our other issue was the ability to add content easily and the site being easily editable and modular!

We're using bluehost and wordpress. Wordpress is making things so easy that even someone like me, who doesn't really know html or css, can work on the site without a problem (ok, so there was this one time when I really screwed things up, but I'm getting better ) Adding/editing is easy. We've customized the theme a lot.

www.team2399.org. It needs lots of work, but we're planning to shape it up over the summer.

I'd agree with those above, looking at other websites and the FIRST criteria has helped a lot. Look up the winners for your regional, or look at the championships winners.

We still have lots to improve on. If anybody has suggestions for photo galleries, that'd be something I'd like to hear about, too.

P.S. RC, your website is gorgeous.

Here look at our photo gallery

We used the lightbox effect and since I used HTML, CSS, JavaScript it was not hard to make it.

Im sure you can add html/JavaScript/css code to wordpress (correct me if my wrong), so if you want i could copy and paste you the code to implement the lightbox effect

Yeah, you can definitely add code. It would be great if you could paste it, or I guess PM it to me. We've been having trouble finding a good way to organize/display the photos, so trying it out would be good. We've been trying to use Wordpress widgets but I haven't found one that works yet.
