Hello everyone. Im the website chairman for Team 1444, and our site is ready for some criticism. I would appreciate any comments! Thanks!
All I see is some alignment stuff on the media page.
BTW. just in case you didn’t know before, looks the same on Safari then it does on Firefox.
Nice, but, it would be a good idea to tell what the mentors do on the team, it would also be nice to tell what the team members do. but other than that, i would give you guys an overall B-
Nice Site Man! It looks awesome!
Im not seeing that issue in Firefox or Internet Explorer… Could you describe what you mean?
It is good but plain. Not very exciting. It also needs more information put up. The sponsor list should be put up because a pet peeve of me and many others are sites that have a sign saying “this part will be up soon” for three or four months.
also it would be good to put up pics of the team members and people working and stuff
Sorry, I tend not to describe enough in my post. I also tend to be a little OCD when it comes to things on the screen with pixels.
As seen in the picture below the “Documents” and “Links” is out of alignment of about 10px. This pic was taken in Firefox on a Mac, and it looks the same on Safari(I have not seen it in IE, I don’t even go there).
Again its just a little OCD thing of mine, it might be like that on purpose.
Oh i understand now i thought you meant you saw DIV tags. I noticed that, and i haven’t had a chance to fix that yet.
I’m very picky so don’t try and take this all to heart, a lot of this is preferance.
The sight layout in general, looks a little off center. I took a quick glance at your CSS but couldn’t find it and I have class in 3 minutes.
On the bottom of each page, put a little padding so this way the words aren’t touching the border. (in css it’s just padding-bottom: 2px; [change your px at will] )
On the nav bar, kill the underline. (in css it’s text-decoration: none; )
Since you have so little news, it might be best to just move it to the home page.
They’re taking off for correct use of FIRST terms this year so you might want to triple check those on your about page. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52874 will tell you.
The team members names on the side if kinda cool, but distracting and hard to notice, at first I thought it was a code error. Same goes for the sponsors, give them more recognition than on a small side bar.
I want to put a big lightning bolt image behind everything… how would i do that?
Create the image you want to use, then add the background-image: url(’\dir’) no-repeat; tag to the CSS class or id you want to have it display. :yikes:
will that size itself to be the entire background?
It depends on how big the image is. If your image is the size of the entire screen than thats how big it is, but if it’s bigger it’ll be cut off. It won’t size up for size down. You can use a repeat if you would like to see it more than once, in either the x, y or both directions.
I have heard several comments here and other places that the site looks a little boring. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it look more exciting?? :ahh:
More pictures of robots and team, perhaps? Also, maybe you could have more information that goes further in depth about each sub-group and has pictures of those different groups working on things.
Also, I think the flow of the site would be better if the buttons on the left were white with a black background like your team name is at the top.
btw: I love the black and yellow 
(MORT trademark basically)
Nice site overall. A-
Im still working on getting some pictures. I haven’t had an easy time with getting to meetings this year. I really like the Navigation idea. Im gonna try that tonight
its a good site however, the FIRST logo is nowhere to be found. in the grading thing on the FIRST website, it says that the FIRST logo and a link to the FIRST site should be prominently displayed.
oh yeah, and don’t be so cynical (ready for criticism). you should have put ready for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. that shows you know your site is good, but you just want some help!! 
The first Image is on the homepage next to the overdrive image.
Any last minute comments before the deadline??
Very, very nice webpage! There really is only one thing that would be optional to improve just to benefit the “looks” of the website even more. When you click on the “About” link on the side menu-bar and you arrive at the page, I noticed a huge white space near the bottom of the page. Is that supposed to be there? Is it reserved for anything?
But I do think that this is a brilliant website! 
Nice use of color schemes!
