    +Homepage: The entire website should now be more intuitive. At least a couple visitors did not realize that the numbers at the top of the website referred to dates. A couple also did not know about the reflections page – still does not have an actual name yet. Current hypothesis is that there were too many navigation links and that they may have been overwhelming. The 5 main links at the bottom of every screen were unlabeled due to aesthetic reasons. I still like the idea of a minimalist navigation bar so I’m continuing to leave them unlabeled. However, in order to make it easier for visitors to explore, I’ve reduced the number of main navigation links to just 3. The 3 main areas of the website right now are the flyers, reflections, and the members list. They are all accessible from the homepage.
    +
    +In order to make it more clear that the numbers at top are navigation links, I’ve put in a neon banner which points up, and also states when the website has been updated with new flyers.
    +
    +In order to help spread awareness of this project, I’ve made some sharable images. They are also displayed on the homepage. Hopefully people will download them, tag me, and post them on social media. This should also make it easier for people if they are looking for these images.
