Re: The New Team 240 Site

I will reserve any real critiquing until there is more to see, although I am bit confused as to why you decided to redesign an already nice site; you have one of the nicer team sites I've seen in FIRST.

Anyway, I'll try to keep this to an aesthetic degree rather than actual coding methods for now as I understand this is a preliminary version. At this point, I must say that the 'old' site is quite a bit nicer IMO. May I suggest changing the font to a sans-serif such as Arial (be sure to include "sans-serif" as a backup)? The layout and the font don't seem to agree. I did a quick test and found that a sans-serif font that was a bit smaller than the default looked pretty decent with the general layout.

For this site, I would urge you to use a minimal stylesheet for simple but common things. The addition of the aformentioned two font rules to the body element helped a lot universally. You can use this also to define the colours and rollover effects of your links, especially in the navbar.

In all, a good start; PM me if you'd like some more thoughts or help.
