Hi Aaron and Jon,
Thanks for the feedback -- hearing about the look of the site on multiple
devices is especially helpful. :)
Let's see.. the gap in scrolling (preceding images) is something I should
be able to fix. For the large screen size (1400 or more pixels wide) I'll
limit the size of the logo so it doesn't look too pixelated and increase
the margins some.
The gray text on the mobile size sounds like an anomaly based on the
devices I've seen so far, but I can increase the font weight for small
devices
Fyi, ideally I would like to redesign the whole structure with bootstrap
etc but it sounds like it might not be worthwhile if the site is going to
revamped soon anyway... These adjustments just make it possible to see all
the content (as it stands) on phones.
Thanks all!
Emily
