New PVS website design by a college intern?

[Anonymous]

So, with full knowledge. It was run by a seasoned volunteer for years. They hired a webmaster, and this is the end product. I agree, it’s garbage. It’s awful to navigate and while it looks more modern, it’s a huge downgrade.

I agree with most of the comments.. it's perfectly fine and easy to navigate!

Hilarious complainers on here. The site looks fine (nice actually) and works fine.

Wait the original was a volunteer position? I loved how it was easy to navigate from my phone. The new site is not easy to navigate at all and is very frustrating. I finally looked at it on a computer and it does look good on a computer. But it is garbage on my phone.

If the position is a hired gun and in theory should be knowledgeable they should have created a mobile site. PVS does not have a mobile site and it is a PITA and they are not getting their money's worth.

The website doesn’t look bad on a desktop, but it’s really not functional on a phone. I have no experience in this so I’m not sure if I he phone version is usually made separately from the web version or if it’s one version that looks different on each type of devise. I’m really hoping that the phone version becomes more accessible and usable at some point again. I also have talked to many parents who all preferred the old format of displaying the meets and all of the associated links. It was great when they used to post the psych sheets too! I know not all host teams would make them accessible, but many did and it was a great help to have them on the PVS website!

Seems fine to me. What is your complaint? You have to scroll sideways to see the columns for meet announcement, volunteer signup etc? I'm not sure there have been enough meets held since this site went up to judge whether the web person is to "blame" for a lack of psych sheets. Plus they're often available elsewhere like host (or other) teams sites, MM..

What's crazy is that an AI could have made a nicer website

She started before the he chaps meets and there were other alternate champs March meets plus April meets. There have been zero and there isn’t a column for them.

And on the phone that whole giant column doesn’t even show up- not a scrolling issue though it is unwieldy in the current layout compared to the past.

Anyway, your reply feels baiting. My complaints are mild and I hope they will easily be resolved. But shutting down even constructive feedback is what pulls out some of the previous posters who were much more aggressive in their dislike of the website.

Did you AI write this? You are all over the place with your comments.

Looking at the Officials' Meeting notes the website apparently has been worked on for MONTHS before the roll out. Only officials seem to be able to comment on it. The site itself is fine, it is the lack of consideration in developing a mobile version. I was willing to deal with a subpar site when I thought it was a volunteer but PVS is paying someone. They interviewed, hired, and are paying a person to do this. That is when I have an issue. Hopefully they will create a mobile version before LC season kicks in, and definitely by SC season.

The site looks fine and works fine. The old site looked ok and worked well. If you’re going to spend the $ and effort to change something, why not make it an upgrade?

I don’t think people are really complaining here, I think they are having a discussion about how confusing it is to spend money on making something worse.

PVS threw money at something to go from working well to be okay. It was a waste of the league's money. I am still hoping that they will fix it/improve it before SC season starts up again.

Are there links to heat sheets? The old site would upload them but I don’t see them on the new site

I do not remember heat sheets being on the old web site other than for maybe the SC/LC champs meets. If you want heat sheets the best place to go is the website for the host club.

All psych sheets weren’t on the old version of the site either, that was dependent on who was hosting the meet and whether they sent the psych sheet to PVS to post.
