Project Plan: gc.palomar.edu/32950/32950alincoln0761/project/ProjectPlan.html

Mockup: gc.palomar.edu/32950/32950alincoln0761/project/Mockup.html

I'm not super experienced with Photoshop so I tried my best to make it work.

Some quick notes that aren't obvious in mockup:
- I deviated a tiny bit from the original front page intended in the project plan, as I didn't find the need for news. I moved the picture of the location to the `location` page.
- Above the bottom three bolded statements will have a colored icon or image
- I'm still not sure how I'll present the footer, so while it's in there nothing is set in stone yet
- There may be small design adjustments that will come once implemented
- Colors aren't finalized, however I'm aiming for a light palette

Very nice work. I'm looking forward to seeing your site. Sounds like a good asset for a business to have.

Do you recommend any techniques or resources as to where I can get some assistance in this?

You did a really good job with your plan and layout. I think that this will be a great site.

As far as color palettes are concerned, there are a ton of sites that give you examples and the hex code for the colors used. If you do a search on "color palettes for websites" you'll find a lot. The first one that came up for me was www.awwwards.com/trendy-web-color-palettes-and-material-design-color-schemes-tools.html It has some really nice color schemes and some tools.

The other thing to do is to just look at sites that you like and see what colors they use. If there is a photo that I'll use on the home page, I often draw colors out of that. However, that strategy probably would not work for your site.
