<p>
Langley was founded by Jacob Anthes, a German who moved to and bought land
in the area in 1881. In 1890, he gave his land to the newly-formed Langley
Land and Improvement Company, which officially founded the town of Langley
in 1891. A dock was soon built, along with a general store and post office
run by Jacob Anthes. In 1898, the school district was founded.
</p>
<p>
Langley was incorporated as a self-governing town in 1913, and a fire station
and a jail were soon constructed.

The annual Welcome the Whales festival in April and the Langley Whale Center
celebrate the cetaceans in the Puget Sound around Whidbey Island. These are
primarily orcas, but there is a small pod of grey whales inhabiting the area,
and humpbacks can sometimes be seen.

## 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.
