My audience was meant to be young girls interested in cats. So, I went for a cool/cute theme with the blacks and pinks.

The alignment of text, and the links all did exactly what I was hoping. Instead of everything being centered I let it be off to the side.


The browsers I tested with were...
-Firefox: This was the browser I checked with most of the time. Everything works right.

-Internet Explorer: The words are a bit bolder/larger looking when in this. Otherwise, it's similar to firefox.

-Safari: I had wanted to use chrome, but was having issues, so I tried safari instead! This one views the HOME link strange. It changes the background to black for some reason
when it's suppose to remain gray.


I constantly had issues with links being the wrong color, but I figured it out after a while. I wasn't able to fix it on safari though. I also had issues with picture placement.
I had intended to include an image of a cat on the home page, but I couldn't figure out how to make it work with the strict HTML.
I had no issues with validating CSS. Only once, when I had accidentally added '#', twice in a hex code. As for the HTML, I had little problems. They were easy to fix.
As for best practices...I validated constantly so I wouldn't end up with a large list of errors. I also tried my best to put everything in a nice/consistent order in the HTML.
Overall I tried to keep things simple.

Little went wrong as I was making the site, and
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. xD

Also! As for the pictures page, I don't plan on leaving it laid out like that.
I just wanted something to fill up some white space.

I'm thinking about adding a cat picture to the Home page...One that's off to the side.
It feels kinda boring without anything there
