Why thank you. But big ups to you for a great site.

As we aren't dealing with coding, my only perhaps worthwhile (and subjective) criticism is that I normally don't like intros that take more than ten seconds and/or have sound, but this is a decision you have to make. The intro itself is rather well-made so I would keep it. If you like that setup by all means go for it... though the multitude of links on your splash page are a little too confusing and numerous. You go from a black screen with a gazillion different fonts and colours, to the rest of the site.

But the layout is simplistic, easy on the eyes, and follows a consistent theme (with the exception of the splash). Navigation is a breeze, using two sets of tabs, which is a great way to go. Also, I like the way you have a database-based news system set up with comments and such. Your site follows a lot of the philosphy I follow, and that's why I rather like it. I'm impressed that you integrated your forum and gallery into the site's CSS-based layout as well.

Your site is really good, and there isn't much you could do to make it better. Seriously. Congratulations on your website award, it was clearly deserved.

Hi Ben and welcome to ChiefDelphi.

I like the site's appearance. The only thing I notice right now is that the main page content only goes part of the way across the page, while the header goes all the way. It's a personal preference thing, but I would change it so both are the same width. (Full width or partial doesn't matter.)

I like the "Guide to FIRST" page.

Re: Web Competitors 2005

A bit late in the whole posting thing, but oh well, our current site is at http://www.blarglefishdev.com, with the exception of graphics, it's pretty much done for the year since I have to start teaching the new people how to program robots from now until kickoff so we can get some work done. Our website uses my favorite language, Java. It was a lot of fun to learn how to learn all of the JSP stuff and it's a cool language so I'd definately recommend it to... everyone.

Re: Web Competitors 2005

Hello Everybody!

Decided to finally stop messing around with our site and get back to posting on here...

Team 818 Steel Armadillo's Is a work in progress...Took me a while to find somthing that looked good, but I think I have it! Its been slow working as I'm the only one on the web team this year... Its a template made by me in CS2, Uses CuteNews for News (and RSS feed), The forums (which are barely up, I have no time to write the rules and such!) are done with a package called Simplemachines by www.simplemachines.org. IMHO much easier to use compared to PHPBB2 and or Invision... Less load on the servers and much easier to customize!

I like that layout! Its based off a blog right? (and I'm a huge sucker for those awesome green gradients!)

Let me know what you think.
IMO, Too much brushed metal, I suggest centering your content, with the bg of that in brushed metal, bevel the edges on the sides, and make the real bg white/black/a solid color.... Otherwise it looks great!

Shouldn't there be an 06 thread or ?

Since many teams usually begin working on their new websites around this time of the year, a Web Competitors 2006 thread has been started. Since this thread was started for last year's website competition, which has come and gone, continue posting all new websites for the 2005-06 season there.
