Re: Want to know what people think of our site

I especially like the particular video you chose to display on your site - team 1676 (your alliance partner) is shown well in that match.

As for some quibbles:
1.Why start the titles with a dot (as in .The Team)? Cute, maybe, but distracting.
2. On all pages, try to avoid slang or (not sure what it's called) like "the team can not wait for the kickoff". Sure you can. perhaps something like 'the team is very excited about the 2009 season and is anxiously awaiting the kickiff...'
3. Can you make the text in the top image "robotics team" and "2621" a little brighter? On my monitor it almost gets lost.
4.
Quote:
The robot is primarily driven, during operator control by, David Altschuler, with Charles Connell as the assistant driver. During the autonomous mode, the robo-coach Nathan Spector, does not need to use a control, as it takes no human input during this time.
too many commas, many unnecessary.
5. As mentioned by BandChick, more content is better. More of your community activities, more photos of the team, the school. A better description of the robot - 4 wheel/6 wheel, type of frame, type of manipulator, etc. No student names though, or maybe first name and last initial.
6. I like the blog, maybe others can contribute.
7. 1676 uses their calendar to communicate everything to the team - meetings, practice, whatever. Surely the team is doing something between now and January?

This is an excellent start to your website, and I think that with just a little bit more effort - get others involved! - it will be a real contender this year. Good work!

Don

Re: Want to know what people think of our site

First of all, let me start off by saying I've only made one (not very good) website in my life, so... I'm sure other's opinions carry a lot more weight than mine.

>I like the picture on the front page with the idler gears. Really cool.
>In general, the top of the home page is very clean.
>Below the top of the home page, I feel like there's a ton of oddly placed whitespace. Not sure what to do about it, so, just an observation.
>The blog is very nicely laid out. Clean.

Good site!
