Besides the fact that there are some content holes and probably a few other link errors, our website is getting to be complete.

Let me know what you think, constructive criticism is always appreciated.

It took me awhile to find the links to go anywhere, which ended up being at the very top of the page. I suggest lower them down below the banner so they're at the top of the actual content. You may also need to do something to make the buttons slightly more visible at a glance

While I applaud you for doing proper website design using CSS, there's one error. #topBanner needs to be clear: left or something similar to force it below the (floated, for some reason; just use absolute positioning) links at the top. On very wide screens (like my 1600x1200 laptop), the banner shows up below, but to the right of the links.

I also dislike fixed width pages. I try to go for a page layout that will scale to the user's full browser width (they can then set it to whatever they want) and scale well with text font sizes.

See http://www.rose-hulman.edu/Users/groups/radioclub/HTML/ for what I mean.

It sucks! Haha kidding, I swear!

I think it looks great, but as MonMotha said, dont make it a fixed width, it was annoying to scroll all the way over to the right just to see the pictures and such!

I like it. A few minor details, but great nonetheless.

good job.

Yeah.. with the buttons, I kind of agree. But I doubt our website guy is gonna change that, he's lazy.

Thanks for the comments everyone, I'll refer him to this thread.

Yay! Nice job, I'd say. I honestly only glanced and click like two links, but it looks good. I would prolly grade it somewhere in the range of A-B. Not DDR grades (meaning no AA, AAA, or AAAA considered, because that would sorta' lower the grade, why am I still explaining?) Good werk.

0. not only for horrible concept, and design, but for shameless cheap promotion.

Never miss a chance to be an ass do you Casey?

Where's your website again?

I wasn't looking to promote the site, I was looking for constructive criticism to improve upon it.

You probably didn't even take the time to look at the content of the site at all.

Pwned, Kthxbye.

Ryan you're wasting your breath. He doesnt care.
Not insulting you, just saying.

Yeah I know. It's just always good to get some your frustration out, and Casey is an easy target

Speaking of shameless promotion, check out my 30 Second Animation that myself and a few others have been working on for the past few weeks.

3D Studio Max is hard >_< but I think it turned out alright. White boy rap done by me.

Oh yeah, you've gotta love the rap at the end.

Nice little video, it makes me want to once again try to learn 3ds Max.

Give up now. Just take my advice

But no really, I've been using 3DS Max off and on now for four years. Maybe if I was really truly dedicated to learning the program and did every tutorial in existance then I could do some really cool stuff with it.

If you wanna learn it, have some serious time on your hands. And a lot of nothing else to do too.

Hey Adam, you should go to the FIRST Robotics Purdue Boilermaker Regional, March 17 - 19 in the Armory. I'm sure Genia has told you about it, it's gonna be the shit.

LikeableRodent · Post by **LikeableRodent** » Thu Feb 24, 2005 12:58 am

Yup, I've already heard of it, though amazingly not from Genia. That's during our spring break, so if I happen to stay on campus for the break I'll definitely head over there and hang out with you robotics people. It's not like I'll really have anything else to do anyway
