Re: AdamBots.com Feedback

I think that both websites are very good, but I won't put myself in a position to say if one is better than the other. Either way, great job to both teams!

I did take a look at your website, and I think that your team did a lot of things very well. Here are some of the positive things I noticed:

+ I like the color scheme. Easy on the eyes, I think it definitely suits your team.
+ The expanding side menu was a really nice feature. Makes navigation easier without too much vertical clutter. I think that our team should probably incorporate something like that!
+ Good amount of content. Your team definitely has a lot to say, and I'm glad that you have most of your bases covered regarding your team members, outreach, awards, build progress, etc. etc. etc.
+ Lots of stuff about FIRST! I like how you write your own information about FIRST and each competition. Great job thanking the volunteers as well!
+ Again, very good job with putting out lots of documents, resources, and pictures for other teams to look at.
+ Pretty easy to navigate, for the most part. I could usually find what I was looking for within a few clicks, although I might suggest that you rearrange a few of your subpages (perhaps information on your season should be under "About the AdamBots" rather than "FIRST"?). Might just be me being nitpicky.

Now, I do have a few suggestions that you could probably use to improve the site. Hope that this helps!

- The main page seems to be dominated by the large header image. I think that visitors would like to see the side navigation panel without having to scroll down too far. With my computer, over half of my browser is taken up by the header image. It's a good image, just a little big!
- When a new menu opens up on the navigation sidebar, I feel that any other menu which is open should probably close. This might make it easier to search around without having to scroll up to collapse one of the menus.
- You could perhaps split your "About the AdamBots" section into two, as it does seem to be a little overwhelming when you have 10 more sections to look at! (Nitpickiness again!)
- Make sure that links which take you to a site other than your own open in a new tab/window. I noticed this when looking at past year's games.

Overall, I think you guys have a great site. The amount of content is very nice, and I feel like people could definitely learn a lot about your team by just browsing through your site. Once again, great job, and I hope that my comments prove to be helpful!
