Website Update Details (Summer 2022)
General Feedback
Dark mode would be nice
The website is out of date around the board
Home Page
The backdrop image does not fit on the standard window (need to scroll to get to see the entire thing)
Image is not reflective of our team specifically
It would be better to change this to a moving slide show of team pictures (members during build sessions, completed hardware, etc)
Why is “UW Robotics Team” not all in one line
The home page is empty - linking to the tabs somewhere in the middle of the page would add more content
Add links to “about us, sponsor, contact us, get involved” in this section:
About Us / Competitions
The about us home page doesnt really provide any useful or different information from the home page
The “about us” home page should be replaced with what is currently the competitions page
About us should focus on our team history, and competition history as well as a link to the most recent SAR submission video embedded on the page
New Page: Projects
It would be awesome to create a new tab named projects which highlight our past and present work
Projects would be classified as either “planned, current, or past” and could refer to rover builds or anything else the team is focused on
Meet the Team
Page needs to be updated, and should not only focus on team leadership
The first image should showcase a full team picture taken at the start or end of each term
Lead information and headshots can be shown after - all leads need to be updated (except anna)
We should add LinkedIn information on each lead name
Sponsors
Need to update with most recent sponsors - to do after the spreadsheet is completed
Contact Us
Should remove this phone number as we dont know who it refers to.
Get Involved
This page should provide more information on how to get involved with the team
Short descriptions of the scope of work and responsibilities (and learning opportunities) would be incredibly useful here for oncoming members
It should also include a link to our confluence page
Sign up form should be updated for this term
Google Search
Enable the website to be found in Google search
Can use keywords, like UWRT, Uwaterloorobotics, etc.
