Title: Colorado Springs Football Officials Association web site
Post by: AFSST on March 13, 2013, 11:28:09 PM

My son and I are trying to enhance the web site for our association.  If you have time, please visit the site at www.cosfoa.com and let me know what you think.  What can we add to make the site better?  What does your association's site have/use that we could also incorporate?

(I'm especially proud of our FAQ link that (hopefully) will provide info to new officials.)   ;D

Thanks!

Looks quite good.
One thing just in scanning is that you have some cards and checklists in the resources. You might want to have a checklist for instructions for the chain crew.

From style, I'm not sure that I like the photo on the sides and blank white in the middle, but if you are comfortable with it then it is not really much of a complaint.

Oh - and I don't know how things are set up around you, but I would find it helpful to have a list of the local schools with a link to google maps or something to quickly call up where to go and how to get there.

Nice. I started my officiating career in COS. Love that town.

James, thanks for the comments.  I'm also leaning towards changing the picture.

As a professional web developer, my only real critique is that your sites load time is ridiculous.

1 - Maybe add the schools you service and/or their address for each school so guys can mapquest it; or it would allow new guys have an idea for the area of coverage for schools you work.
2 - Not sure if I would make the voting info or board minutes 'made public' for all to see without password or the like.

Everything opens up immediately for me...
