Looks clean and organized very nice.

I see that a majority of your images are getting down sized. For instance I see high resolution 500x450 pixel images for you team members that could easily be low resolution 250x250 pixels. I encourage you to spend the effort creating low resolution images. This will help your website load much faster.

Whats the best way to do that?

I think that so far your website looks great. In terms of competing for the website award I have a few minor suggestions:

  • Your blog is a great aspect which is lost in the depths of your site, maybe put a teaser on the main page to bring in interest.
  • Though you do have the First logo/link on the home page it would be helpful if you also incorporate them into the page describing FIRST as well.
  • For the Challenge and Media sections some people could be confused by the fact that 2011 don’t have sub-categories.
  • Your Calendar page is currently (25JAN11) a dead link
  • Though the Contact form system is great if they want to send the team as a whole an email it might be helpful to also put the contact info of a mentor on that page as well.

I hope this advice helps and good luck with it at your regionals
