The team 1731 site is simply http://www.team1731.org
Let me know if you have any comments in general about the site or if you have any information on putting drop down menus on that navigation bar. The site was built using Dreamweaver 8. Thanks.

Google "CSS drop down menus" and you'll get a plethora of hits; just pick a few of the articles, read them, and make a sweet menu.

Typography doesn't match very well. The grunge font used on the navigation isn't the best choice. Look into something like Myriad maybe.

Hey everyone, the site is www.firstteam397.com like I said earlier. I was wondering if I could get some feedback on the site seeing as it is a newer design.

Thanks

We still have to transfer most of the content, but the functionality and look are finished

*Note, I realize that I don't have much room to talk since my design needs much work, but they asked for feedback. If this sounds mean I apologies*

Sorry, but your design comes off as dated. I would recommends against using frames as they are unneeded, and hamper functionality. For instance if someone wanted to send a link to someone about your site, unless they know to view source they could not link directly to the content. It also requires more unneeded scrolling.

Using an image instead of a <h1> for the title increases load time, and IIRC search engines like the <h1> for titles.

This is hypocritical, but if passable you should have an email address at your domain it looks much better than a gmail.com

Lastly why is Rack and Roll on the drop down after history instead of in history?

Thats cool, I expected criticism. The Rack N Roll is a link to the gallary from last year.

Too much dropshadow, otherwise it's pretty cool. Maybe add a little gloss on the banner and it'd be very nice.

See you at the Detroit Regional!

Very nice! Just a small pet peeve of mine, but maybe you could get a favicon made. It's something I look for in every site. If you don't have someone who could make it, I can help create one for you.

Re: Web Competitors 2008

We made our first venture into the website competition in 2007 at the AZ regional. I guess we did not get a website excellence, nor did we get DQ'd, because we never got anything back from the judging, except confirmation that we entered. Do we have to do something else?

Below is our website from last year and we'd like to use any feedback given for this year's site. Thanks in advance!

http://www.vhsnutznboltz.org

Go Boxerbots!
