Want to laugh at my school internet site?

[Cmd.exe]

Only just read this thread, but I must contribute this site of my former employer.

 

http//www.brcccollege.com/

 

Not done by students, but by the Head of ICT. Classy.

 

I actually really like the flash scrolling gallery on the front page D. What would you say was wrong with the site?

It's just... a bit... amateurish.

 

There are some individual components to the site that may be nice on their own, as the only flashy part of a well conceived page.

 

I want my school to have a professional looking site representing the school to the online world. Isn't that the point? Image?

 

Perhaps it's just me.

 

Also, I'm all for students creating a website, but I’d put it beyond the front page and label it clearly as student's work.

I also like the sliding gallery - but it's quite imposing. The sites quite intense overall - black is not the most relaxing background colour.

The BRC College site killed Flash player when I closed the tab and then took out FireFox.

When I first arrived at the site it was totally blank, apart from 4 flash logos that Flashblock had thankfully trapped. As may have guessed I'm not a fan of Flash.

 

I agree it is far too scrolly and intense. And yes, black is just about the worst background colour in my opinion.

It's convenient that your school name is "School name goes here" - less work to do on that template!

Still trying to figure out "HOW" to change that :? not easy when the LEA has banned FTP and I am preparing for a new arrival in a few weeks..

If you don't have FTP how did you upload in the first place?

 

Anyway take alook at http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomlaxplorer/ ftp from within the joomla backend. Might even add this to the package at some point.

For days I have been wondering what that ticker was for. I'm clearly a little bit slow.

 

Congratulations.
