General updates to the homepage

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The homepage doesn't look as crisp and polished as it could/should.

Describe the solution you'd like Please match the mock-ups as best that you can.

Describe alternatives you've considered

These images look really pixelated on the live site, can you please load a higher quality image.
use my arrows and vertically center them
No rounded corners
Adjust the padding around the text on the live site to look more like this
Now that the site is being used, I see a lot of the images being uploaded are very light or on white backgrounds. Everything looked fine in the mockups because we used real photos. I’d like to suggest that we do a very subtle overlay on the featured photos to get them just a shade darker.
Are you able to do a subtle overlay using our dark purple:
background: rgba(54,43,99,.15)
(Since I see that some are transparent png’s, we would need to overlay the colour on top of them rather than applying a background colour and adjusting the images opacity.)
Originally I had mocked up the logo here to fill the space, but I think we should put the Territorial Acknowledgement here and remove it from the black copyright bar. So that way we can tighten up the spacing in that black bar and make it less tall.
Correct blue for bullets and button background #009dd6
Please make both titles the same size
Make sure all text in this area is black #000

Hey Alex I actually can't find anywhere in wordpress to put custom css overrides, it looks like my user doesn't have access to those places.

@stargraphicdesign Can you see the appearance menu? Select "Customize" and there should be a "additional css" option there. Let me know if that worked for you.

@stargraphicdesign Thanks for screenshot, we're on WP multisite so this has to be enabled for site admins. I've done that now, let me know if it's showing up now?

@ehbeattie I noticed this one was re-opened, is there anything missing that you'd like me to tackle?
