## Design Decisions
I didn't decide to do anything particularly unusual with regard to layout or
navigation - a static navbar, collapsing on mobile, is possibly the most common
form of responsive navigation, and the required 7:5 columnar layout on the visit
page ended up being a quite typical way of attaching images to small paragraphs
of text.
As I have very little ability to judge the aesthetics of color combinations, I
used a single background/accent color, which is the purple used by the city of
Langely on their website and elsewhere.
## Challenges Faced
I didn't face any particular technical challenges, but judging aesthetics proved
quite difficult (not at all surprisingly). I'm still unsure if the banner on the
home page qualifies as 'attention-grabbing'.
Also, 'static map' didn't seem to be well-defined, so for that reason and
because it's difficult to find a single scale of map which usefully shows the
location of Langley to people unfamiliar with maps of the Pacific North-West, I
inserted a dynamic map instead.
