Entry: Free Range Robotics
Challenge Summary
This challenge is to develop a Website that promotes your entire robotics program - your VEX team(s) and any other robotics programs you participate in, your outreach activities, how to join, what you have done, who you are, where you are, and what you plan to do in the future. Since a school or other organization (such as a community club, 4-H club, Scout unit, TSA chapter, or Explorer Post) may have more than one team, this challenge is for your whole school or club, not just one team. In short, build a Website that tells the world how great youth robotics is, and how special your program is.

Thanks for your feedback. I have removed the right column and moved some of the modules to the left, and some down the bottom. Tell me what you think now. I want to make a drop-down menu for the site to improve the navigation, but it takes a lot of time (which I don't have at the moment!) to integrate it nicely into the template. I can't really make the website any smaller, as it is made to fit into a 1024x768 monitor which a lot of people still use.

P.S. just pretend that the slideshow is full width - I will try to update it tomorrow. -
penguinfrk03-19-2010 01:01 AMWhile the content is informative and the site is very well maintained, I think you try to put way too much information all on the front page. The triple columns and pictures, text fields, lists, slide shows, notification boxes all seem very cluttered. The navigation bar has so many options, it feels claustrophobic. Perhaps you could consider narrowing the margins on the side to provide more space, or be more concise for the front page.

asdfgh03-18-2010 03:09 AMI had to manage a corporate website and, while no expert, picked up a few things. I think your site is a good job. It loads quickly, tells me immediately who you are. I like the photos on the front. There is a lot of info/writing and it shows a bit small in my browser (firefox). It's easy to navigate. I didn't understand some of the info so could be less techspeak - but I am hardly the target audience as a 37 at home mum. Well done to you and team!
