New website feedback

Your site is okay on first glance. However, things seem to be loading somewhat slowly on my machine, particularly the Home page slider and the Photos page. For the Photos page, it's also a bit long. Perhaps set it up in clickable albums that load on demand, to reduce the actual download size of the page and let people see what's available?

Other than, it's a great start. I'm no graphics designer, so I can't say much to the visual aspects of the website. In terms of functionality, you're off to a great start. Take a moment to remember the audience for your website: members, parents, sponsors, community, and judges. Once you cater more to a wider audience and make more about your team known on the website, I think you'll have a great website. Keep it going!

The visual design looks good and the content is visually balanced. The font size on the home page is a little inconsistent in the different sections; the more important the headings are usually in a larger font size.

Because the Fundraising link takes the user to a new domain having it open in a new tab will help keep people wandering away from your site.

To organize and share your team pictures you might look into using Picasa Web Albums; they provide both a flash slide show and an HTML thumbnail for the albums you can embed in your site. You might want to include a description of what the USTREAM video is for when the video is off air.

Overall great start to your website.
