I've been helping make a website for the robotics club at my school.
It's still in the development stage, and has A LOT of work left to do (we need to actually buy a web domain, for example), but I wanted to get feedback on the design before it gets finalized.

(The background is temporary, it'll be replaced later, we don't have much content, some pages don't exist yet, and we still don't have a banner to put at the top of the page.)
I'm basically looking for feedback, criticisms, and suggestions on what I should do to improve the design.

It's down :(
Sounds like a big project though. Good luck on it :)
EDIT: Your main site's down too, and seems like it's the entire HelioHost server O.O
-
It does that: I'm starting to get a bit annoyed.
It's up now, though.

Really nice design. I like the navbar a lot, except that I'd suggest making each listed item not suddenly become square when it's hovered. Layout's great, but the box below the slideshow area looks off-balance because there's a large whitespace on the right; maybe you could have the "Who are we?" show more text? And I think the green Spartan (?) logo would look better if its colors "merged" into the site, with a transparent bg or something.
There are a few problems with the background, as I'm sure you've noticed :) But anyway, great job on the design!

Thanks!

That's a bit weird -- it shouldn't be doing that. Thanks for pointing that out.

Yeah -- the front page is a little empty at the moment.

Hmm, merging...
That was a sort of placeholder image (we were going to put a bunch of our sponsor's logos in that area), but I'll look it.

might I suggest a role model you can try and beat? www.apple.com ^-^
but just joking -- it looks rather nice actually O.o maybe add a few things here and there, like polish up the text style to classy-ify it, but great! :D
-
And you know there's an extra panel in the background, right? :-

Could you clarify what you mean? Do you mean 'pick a different font' or 'make the writing style classier'?

Wait, what?
-
Er nvm. It just looked like it because the background doesn't tile well.

Both the code and the page look very nice, good job. I have no critics but the overlaying menu, but I guess that's what you want.

Could you clarify why you don't like the overlaying menu? Does it make navigation harder? Is it just confusing? Etc... Maybe I can fix it?

Michael, it's a personal choice, I like the menu not to come with me everywhere.

I have to agree with that. Personally, I prefer the to have the menu just to stay put. But if you choose to use the floating menu, I think you should at least make it opaque. The transparency just kind of irks me for some reason.
