CSS

[salilbhise]

Initial styling and theme has been applied with a dark nav bar, dynamic Materialize Sign-In/Registration form, and modern kitchen background image with appliances visible.

I feel like this site should have a very clean and smart aesthetic that provides the user with a non-distracting experience as they navigate through the data, resources, and links provided.

For examples of what I think the site should like, please see links below:

Please feel free to add suggestions. The initial CSS needs to be cleaned and organized after we get some other front and back-end tasks cleared.

• [x] How will text be displayed? Any special effects?

• [x] May need to remove the username from Sign Up Form depending on authentication

• [ ] Verify responsiveness (Rezwana to test)

• [ ] Confirm all links work (Rezwana to test)

• [x] Improve Navbar

• [ ] Move "Ensights" away from the left border in the Nav bar

• [x] Consider a carousel background

• [x] No space below background

• [x] Consider Toggle Button (hamburger) for Nav Links

• [x] Add a logo and move box over on this screen? Or no logo and have text on left, box on right?

• [x] Consider changing lime green sign in accent and button since the button is hard to read

• [x] Consider a header banner animation gif similar to the one on https://www.tendrilinc.com/. Would need to be text only for mobile

Checking into running background script like this for the first page which should be index.handlebars

Need to determine the layout of the next page after login and register. Nav should remain, but the included search option at that screen needs to be in a separate container below it. Then how are we going to display the "browse by product" option? stock images of appliances, text, modals, etc?

Does the UI/UX make sense with an index/home page --> login page --> register page --> search within site page --> products and data visualization?

I don't think it does. We need to rethink sitemap.

This is done. Only finishing touches are needed at this point. Site is designed and works for the most part. Working through technical issues with Richard.
