Re: It’s here, and it’s better than ever. Team 56 2008 best website since 1997 – Chec

A few points to consider:
-Is it considered fair use to post Darude's "Sandstorm"?
-I find it kinda hard to focus on the text because the eye candy is quite distracting.
-My 1 year old laptop is incapable of screen resolutions higher than 1024x768, so...scrollbars deluxe. Most corporate machines are set to 1024x768 also, so you are making yourself look bad to any potential sponsor viewing your site.
-Disable Javascript, Flash, and any other active content. Now try your website. It is good that you put a "Skip Intro" link on the intro page, but it is bad that on my machine I had to scroll to find it...

It just really feels like one of those overdone MySpace pages with everything on the page flashing and fading and moving...

I can see that a lot of time went into this, and I do like how professionally-done it looks. It's not my style, but I could roll with it if it fit in my browser.

Ultimately, the CSS/design style of your site is only 0.0001% of what makes your site good. A good design won't be obtrusive, but rather make the content-which is of course the most important part-flow nicely.
