This week the team decided to take a step back and reevaluate the design of the current homepage. The goal of the design is to simplify the process so that users can easily access the core functionality of the website. In our current design we have a menu that activates a sidebar which allows users to select where to navigate, and while this would have been a good implementation for a lot of navigations links, we only have four. We realized the sidebar only wastes time at best, and at worst creates confusion on where to go; because of this we decided to move the critical functionality to the top navbar where the user can click at any time.
