New team 2472 site with Joomla interface and look

www.team2472.com

I found this section on CD and I thought I'd post about our team's new website.
Our Media and IT group leader found out about Joomla, which is a website content management system. In essence it's an interface for creating and managing the content and structure of a website, instead of writing code for it. We downloaded it for our website which is hosted on our team server. We also obtained a template from Rocket Theme (Joomla itself is just a shell, you can get templates for it that basically provide the look of the website). The template we got is called Refraction (we applied red color, see a demo here).

We liked Joomla because it allows our media team to add and change content easily and quickly. Something like this certainly has many useful, customizable features, like different types of web pages and sections (news, media, description, intro, about, etc). And you can't go wrong with the look of it, it's certainly pretty cool. It cost us a pretty penny though: $90 a year for the template (Joomla is free). We felt that we could afford this, although I understand that some teams can't. However, we think this is a really nice system and of course I'd recommend it.

Hope you like it! There's actually not much content on the website right now; we're in the process of adding things (history of the team, what is FIRST, media, etc). Things are liable to be added and changed, so don't think that's all. We're even redoing our logo this year.
Feel free to give any suggestions, especially once there's more things on the site! Thanks!
