What tasks do we need to complete in order to successfully design this website?
We need to understand why the current nav is as it is to better understand what the website has in each page. We should figure out if the content can be moved around without confusing the user.
What issues need to be solved?
Some of the issues that need to get is arranging the content so it is in the proper page. Also changing color scheme so it looks colorful without blinding a person. Rearranging the pictures in the gallery and menu. The nav should be readable so changing the color and the yellow button the text is placed on needs to be changed.
