Wireframe For Website

The new bakery in town, "Main Street Sweets," has commissioned me to design its online presence.  Its mission is to be a homey and comfortable spot for teenagers or adults to hang out at or bring homework or work to.  They also have an event room to host birthday parties, small groups, study groups or other events of that type.  The main purpose of their website is simply to display their goods and the atmosphere of the place. Along with the above homepage, I also created menu, events, and about pages. The menu is essential because it displays to potential customers their food options at Main Street Sweets and also assists with online orders. Because Main Street Sweets contains a private events room, they have a webpage to display what it looks like and give people an idea of what their event could look like.  The text on this page describes the space, what type of events are held there, and also convinces the reader to hold their next event there. ...

What is considered the "golden hour"? Golden hour refers to the time just after sunrise or just before sunset.  It isn't actually 60 minutes, as the length depends on where you are, what time of year it is, and the weather conditions.  The light at these times appears magical.  Why is this?  Well, the light at this time is in the yellow range of the light spectrum.  It also has to travel through more atmosphere than when the sun is at different points in the sky, so the light is softened and reduced.   3.  What is the color temperature of daylight, and what is its general hue?
