FINAL

ETHZ 2007

• Good
  • ETH Zurich drop down bar on each page
    • i like this very much, especially how it scrolls automatically to the corresponding section on the page -Sh
    • we could also have "Go to Top of page" links on long pages
  • ETHZ banner on each page leads to homepage
  • Vistor count at the bottom of the page
  • Nice meet the team page

• Not so good
  • First page too dense
  • Agreed, provide a little information and then link to a more heavy page - St

Harvard 2007

• Intro good - What the project was, What they had achieved, What it could achieve in the future (applications) -Sh
• No navigation/signposting though -St
• Does link to detailed wiki, but all the way down the bottom - St
• Contents good, but don't like their 1-page style. - Di

UC Berkeley 2007

• Very good explanation of project and reasons for it right up the top - St
• Nice brief description of the different components (with links to pages with details including results) -Sh
  • Do we want to introduce the components on the front page?
• icons again!!
• colour scheme? - blueish maybe.. blood is red that is fair enough
• i like the animated gif ... moving stuff is appealing to the eye... easy to do ...
  • Animation of the "Clock" in action for our front page? (Like in the presentation?) - St
• Very good in general. The style fits well under the general "theme" of iGEM. Precise and straight forward way of explaining their work. - Di

Chiba 2006

• nice sort of layout on the front page
• well-structured web pages. easy to understand the purpose of their site and work they have done. a bit dislike their cartoonish style. - Di

Cambridge 2006

• icon layout ... easy information to grasp .. i like| needs better icons though
• Again, too dense to read all at once. - St

Imperial 2006

• interesting process flow chart on front page
• very very good at colums

Imperial 2007 really good tabs on the top of the page

• separate wet lab/dry lab sections -Sh

Glasgow

• nice and simple front page ... i like this simplicity, but with icons :)
  • Seconded. This is about what we want for a front page (except prettier). - St

Ljubljana

• columned layout
• animation of the project ... grab these of the presentations...
  • Animations good for explaining a lot of information in an easy to understand manner. - St
• visitor numbers and locations ... down the bottom
• very simple banner ... they then put out flyers and stuff... i think it'd hilarious if we marketed this as a swiss clock/watch alternative and gave out a brochure ... :p
• Looks like a business website on the general appearance, but animation of explaination is good. - Di

PRE

Brown 2007

• Border around front page?
• Public page - www.brownigem.com -
  • They had a video that got onto the OWW and synbio front page last year - do we want to do this ?

Harvard 2007

• Good layout
• Links to tools (plasmid mappers, blast2seq etc...) frequently used stuff
• Detailed protocols of experiments to date--good -Sh
  • but probably better to link it to a separate page of protocols like Peking’s (to avoid redundancy)

• a just for fun section ... we need to have more fun as a team... i say fridays at AO - (Animal Orchestra) or the pub

Imperial 2007

• breaking news section just make it red ;)

Brown 2006

• concise front page ... emphasises the right things ... (big font = important links - todo list, meetings, biobricks, overview etc)

Alberta 2007

• wow they used a gantt chart

Harvard 2006

• for visitors section ... do we direct people to different section based on prior knowledge?

GENERAL IDEAS

• team photo somewhere on both
• photo(s) of Bio21 ... taken by us not generic
• border design?
• presentation section ... devoted purely to stuff to do with the presentation (berkeley 06)
• calagary 06 nicely design banners/logo? (ie. not done in paint) - we all have friends that could whip something together thats fairly spiffy ;)
• indiviuals photos in the team profiles ... standardise the profiles
• poster design mini-team and section on the wiki...
• archive section

• Final
  • Front page small and succinct with lots of pictures
  • Animation very good idea
  • Medium level of detail on Final wiki, links to appropriate page of pre wiki for further detail
