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  • The website is out of date around the board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.
