Team 692 Website

Technical Website Design/Showcase

I was wondering if you could give us some constructive criticism regarding our website.
This year we made the mistake of changing to a template that is very uncustomizable and no designs, so there’s that…

Any ideas for the banner? Please?
Thank you!

Looks great! Can’t wait for SVR! See you all there!

EDIT: It would be helpful to put pictures and information of your robots on your website. It’s not only helpful for other teams, but it’s also a cool way to show off what you’ve done. :slight_smile:

We’re going to the Central Valley & Sacramento regional. Good luck though!

That’s a great idea! We actually have our robot info under team history, but it’s a bit buried. We’ll give them their own section. Thank you so much! :slight_smile:

No problem. We’re going to Central Valley as well, but SVR won’t be the same without the Fembots. :wink: Who else will lead us in the Cotton Eyed Joe?! :yikes:

AWWWW. You kind of just made my life. :slight_smile:
I think maybe you should lead it.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. :smiley:

I guess it’ll be practice for Central Valley then. :stuck_out_tongue: Good luck for your next 3 weeks, and see you in Madera!

I’ll be taking you up on that. I’ll be awaiting video footage. n_n

edit: woops, back on topic…

Since my thread inspired yours :D. Your site looks pretty good so far but you might want to go with a website builder like blogger and webs because you can actually learn a ton while keeping your website and template looking pretty good. After using one of those for awhile then you probably to go back to your own template and stuff.

I would try to include some nice gadgets along with the site itself. Some pretty cool ones you could get from would be widget box or other providers.

Looking good, it’s a nice basic site. It’s easy to use, and you’ve got most of the content you need. I get that the team color is pink, without being blinded by it. ::safety::

Some suggestions:

  • Most of your pages are missing <title> tags
  • Resize the thumbnails for the Meet the Fembots page – they are all 500px wide, and it loaded kind of slowly. Resizing will make the page load quicker and look better.
  • A bigger FIRST logo at the bottom would be nice
  • A couple history pages are missing, or images do not load
  • I looked at your source, and there’s a loooooot of tables. While it works okay here, you shouldn’t use tables for layout in the future.

From an all girl team to another, I think your site looks great!I love the color scheme for the site and the background. Robotics related but still classy. I also really like the picture for the banner of the physical sign. If you want to make it a little more prominent I could see adding some graphics to it (to put your menu on top of) and maybe a team slogan with some color blocking. Photoshop would be useful for that if you have it. I love your headers and the simplicity of the white backgrounds for the pages. I would look into adding more pages (which I’m sure you’re doing).

Let me know if you have any questions on how to do things, I do our team’s site and just made our new site from scratch: team3182.org. You should take a look :slight_smile:
