Joel Rocks

I just checked out http://www.team229.org/ for the first time. I must say, the design is beautiful, very nicely laid out, and the scripting makes things very nicely organized. Great job Joel, I'd recommend that all webmasters check this out, a very good guide for what a site should look like.

I agree .. if you haven't checked out Joel's work, do so. It's amazing.

Yes, joel has got to be the best webdesigner in FIRST. I need to start hiring you out to design all my website jobs. Joel, I salute you!!

We got him first. Check out www.rage173.org for early work..... We are having him go over stuff with the website team next weekend so that we can keep his awesome work updated, because I know how much he puts into these sites.

[Jeff Waegelin]

Very nice... great work, Joel

[Joel J]

Uhh.. thanks.

[Kyle Fenton]

What’s even more amazing is that he does it all in notepad. Very difficult if you ask me.

That is like exactly the style I was thinking of for my team's website, with our colors of course. I love that simple, sharp look. Nice job, Joel. It seems to me that is the only way to make a general content website.

It truly is a wonderful website! Very organized, grammatically correct, pleasing to the eyes ... top-notch work!

I was reading the grading sheet for the website, which I believe is what the judges were using to evaluate the websites (for the award) and well I must say, it seemed to me that the judges created that sheet after seeing this website ... well I don't know about that but it really looks like what I would be looking for if I were one of the judges!

With all said I'm going to recommend our (1369's team) webmaster to take a look at that website and take some good pointers! He's good too! Really good but any little help does no harm to anyone!

Just like Gmail!

Yes, I noticed the same thing. That's why I love it!

I wonder how much of that is from openFIRST...

None of it. Joel codes all of his sites himself.

He also helped me solve on how to make a floating banner for a website. Also, I would love how you do the PDF trick on your website. That is a pretty cool way of making sure information is printed correctly. The rendering time module is also cool too.
