Organization: I used columns to keep the information organized. I felt this set up was the best way to keep the user from getting overwhelmed.
Images: I wanted to show the students having fun while learning, and the teachers (included in header slideshow). I also wanted to show users how the site works in terms of navigation, and I wanted to make sure students make it to the blog. I have uploaded a number of images from the different stories I have posted on the blog. Each image in the slideshow is linked so students can be taken directly to the post if the image intrigues them.
Color: I chose a black screen background with white page background. The black border focuses the eye on the central content. Summerbridge logo colors are red and yellow. I incorporated those colors into some of the divider images. I also chose to make one of the site accent colors orange to fit in with the warm colors.
Font: I kept the font consistent throughout. I used bold and size changes to highlight certain content. I chose to use black font because it has a nice contrast against the white backdrop. I also went with a size 16 font (in Weebly) in order to make the content legible.
