#12 Changes the design of the website a bit; any new suggestions or changes are welcome.

a few suggestions:

• adding some animation (ex: the logo pops up when the page loads)
• adding some more dimension to the color scheme through gradient (orange to yellow, maybe even some red-orange?)

--> some examples (https://cssgradient.io/blog/css-gradient-examples/)

• not sure how you want the layout to be, but the faq questions could have drop-downs (it's a few extra clicks but it reduces the amount of text and might help people find the answers they need faster)
• would a back to top button be redundant if the nav bar is fixed?

Thank you for your input and suggestions!

I'm completely on board with adding some more animation to the site (#17). For the color scheme, it honestly depends on how you plan to use it; perhaps try some different colors out and see which ones work the best (#18). Open a pull request from your branch onto master when you've made progress and the team can decide if the colors work or not.

I've tried to make the FAQs be dropdown menus, but the layout messes up when the text comes in; the columns would be unbalanced and lots of unwanted whitespace would end up being created at the bottom of the FAQ section. If you'd like to try implementing dropdown menus, go ahead—if they look good, we'll accept your changes.

A back to top button would probably be good (#16); the navbar changes we just made only implements smooth scrolling and fixes a couple bugs with scroll distance.

I know this is quite a lot for one person to do, so feel free to pick out parts of what you want to do and assign yourself to the tasks.
