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!

Go Boxerbots!

Re: Web Competitors 2008

Team 1518 will be entering there website again (hopefully they apply) this year, it's basically the same setup as previous years with some new content and a few security features added. The new webmaster should be upgrading the old site design soon. Constructive criticism is appreciated.

Re: Web Competitors 2008

The pictures for the navigation links are missing. Other than that, I like it so far, haven't gone exploring it yet. I'm assuming someone drew the robots and the comic? If so, give them my kudos! Awesome work there.

Re: Web Competitors 2008

www.dulaneyrobotics.com

We are in the process of content updates, but it's mostly there code wise.

The photo gallery is a mix of coda-slider and Lightbox 2. (Although I may switch it over to phatfusion's lightbox, which is a little more intuitive.)

The video gallery is from the export flash function in Adobe Encore CS3. (It's a little broken at the moment, and nothing recent is there yet)

The whole site is powered by Smarty except for the phpBB3 forum. (Nothing special there, stock theme)

To do:
- Content Updates
- Post documentation from last two years
- Make videos available for download (I am hesitant about this one - copyright issues with songs?)
- Get updated videos

We have several other sections that run on our site as well. We use phpXplorer on several subdomains to provide an interface to access the photo archive and robot code archive.
http://images.dulaneyrobotics.com/system/index.php - accesses our 4500+ photo archive (gotta fix a slight linking issue though, downloading pics work, Open URL does not)

We also host/design www.battleobaltimore.com and www.firstbaa.com (both out of date)

Critique + criticism welcome! This is all student designed, so the code/css may not be up to par with W3C standards, but it works on most browsers (Except on dulaneyrobotics.com, the top left PNG with the lion head logo and 4 buttons, it appears darker in IE7 - anyone know why?)
