UI-
- The drop downs used for the issues tab stood out to me. The font is big, making it easier to navigate the website with each category being displayed. This makes the website fairly easy to navigate.
- The way that the header is set up makes the name of the website known. The addition of year it was established along with the purpose of the magazine was to incorporate.
- For improvement, the arrangement of elements on the main page could be updated. There is a lot of empty space that can be used for the magazine’s publishements.
- The search bar as well as the submission/ contact us section should be moved up on the main page so that users don’t have to keep scrolling to find them.
- The issues section should have pictures rather than just words to make it more inviting.
UX-
- The colors used on the site stand out in particular to the viewer. Specifically, the books that border both sides of the page make it inviting and welcoming in a sense.
- The green as the base color for the website is nice because it represents Stevenson’s color.
- The green for the banner and heading should match the green for the rest of the website in order to give an orderly look.
- The banner of books can be changed as users click on different sections of the website.
- The old fashion pen and ink picture is very creative to use as the magazines logo. However, the title could be bigger to stand out more to the viewer.

UI-
- Having the header as the initial thing users see is very effective.
- The banner that opens and closes as you scroll up and down the homepage is a very nice addition.
- Drop down menus should be added to each tab not just the one titled Issues.
- The Greenspring Review banner should be at the top of the website as you click on every tab.
- Featured issues on the homepage make it more interesting.
UX-
- The big header makes the website very inviting to the users. Users immediately know what the Greenspring Review does.
- However, the white background can be changed to make the website stand out more.
- The fonts of all the subtitles as well as tabs can be made bigger to stand out more.
- In the about section, names of the authors should be under the picture so that users know who each individual is.
- The addition of quotes by each author gives the website an artsy touch.

UI-
- The banner and tabs can use a bigger font so that they don’t get lost in page.
- The search bar can be moved up to the upper right hand corner so that it is easier to find.
- The what’s new section keeps the reader up to date with the Greenspring Review.
- The social media tab on the side that can see recent posts is also a good addition.
- Having two tab sections makes the website easier to navigate.
UX-
- The mural incorporated in the border is a good addition however it is a little blurry.
- The background can be enhanced slightly to make it stand out more.
- Color can also be added to the tab sections.
- More pictures or murals should be added to the website to make it more visual.
- The featured posts are a nice addition to the homepage but can be incorporated more visually as well.
