The good, the bad and the ugly. Let us know what you think of our website!

Overall the Langston Hughes project has an appropriate parchment style and effective links.

The color scheme is simple and accurately showcases the original poems. A key could be provided to denote the meaning of the [color for] highlighted words or phrases. There may be other motifs to highlight and analyze. The frequency of Montage of A Dream Deferred and similar phrases can be analyzed with the count() function. After Turned dead white on **Nightmare Boogie**, I think there is an exclamation point, however, this is a minor detail.

On the About the Project page, there could be images of the XML, Schema, HTML, and XSLT for the users to understand the inner workings of the website. The horizontal rule allows for "breathing room" for the reader.

Hello! I really enjoyed this project and the way you chose to add a vintage like feel to the overall look. I thought it was very interesting and made it more unique. Your overall theme made the project great. I also liked the way you linked specific poems on the home page. It made it very easy to navigate, especially if someone has little to no knowledge on computers. The about page is also pretty neat because it allows you to take a deeper look into Langston Hughes, if someone is more interested in learning about him. I enjoyed how the team added images for themselves. It created a more personal feel to the team. Overall, the project was phenomenal and you guys did an amazing job!
