Re: Feedback needed

Overall this is a nice, simple layout. I am sure that minor tweaks will enhance this site as it progresses.

You may want to correct the spelling of Chairman's.

I like that you added a slide show on the home page.

You may want to look at your text fields and add white space between paragraphs, as well as use left-align or justify.

I would also remove the team logo on the side bar since it is redundant with the header logo. Adding a section for "team graphics" with high resolution images would be a useful place for this.

Non-sequitor: it works in IE7 (forced to use this ancient brower at work ) Websense is telling me something about "Competitions" page being a game and thus a threat to the security posture of my network. So is YouTube, but I digress

Re: Feedback needed

thanks also which text fields are you referring to? and I noticed that the extra logo was redundant I will be swapping it out with a swapping images of our main sponsors. I am working on that code for that as well that way it is a different images on each load

*Spelling error fixed now

Re: Feedback needed

It would be a good idea to add a media tab to the navigation bar it gives a great idea of how you guys are doing overall.

It may also be cool if you added a picture of your old robots (if you have them) to each of the robot names you have in the robot menu at the bottom of the homepage.

Another cool idea would to try adding drop down menus to each tab to add an extra level of convenience.

We have a robot page but as explained I am still gather info about some of the robots, and I refuse to use drop down menus they are just too annoying and used on to many websites, plus another thing that was explained, I am working on a media page, video gallery and photo gallery.

I am also working on a way to clean up my links page. I realize it does look a little dis organized right now and I even don't like that

The text blocks I am referring to is the white area on pages such as Awards and other pages reached via the "About Us".

I have found a way to fix that the valiang was set to default" instead of "top" by a stupid mistake when switching to php

i am in the process of switching all those

Re: Feedback needed

Overall it looks great. One thing that I noticed is that the Oxford comma should be before "and".

Quote:

Should be "We sponsor many Jr. FLL, FLL, and FRC Teams.

Also the formatting of the links on the resources page seems a bit odd. Not that bad though.
