2. Tumblr?
 Why did I choose Tumblr as my host website?
 I chose Tumblr as my host website as I am already quite
familiar with the website, I know quite a lot about the
coding and I am able to create my own theme/layout.

3. Colour scheme?
 Why did I choose the black/orange/red (dark warm)
colour scheme?
 I chose this colour scheme as I think that it represents the
restaurant. The restaurant is supposed to be really cozy
and classy at the same time, and I think the colours really
represent this.

4. Font?
 Why did I choose the font?
 I decided to use baskerville and courier new. This also
due to the cozy yet classy feel I am trying to get. The
baskerville font is very simple and classy, I used this font
for my title. It is very simple and suits the restaurant nicely.
I chose courier new as this is kind of edgy, and
emphasizes the cozy feeling I am trying to portray.

5. iPhoto?
 Why did I choose iPhoto to edit my photos?
 Truth be told, I have never used iPhoto ever. Everyone
has told me that iPhoto is the easiest way to develop
new editing skills, therefore I chose to use iPhoto. Before I
did, I went on youtube, and I found some videos on how
to edit your photos using this software. I used iPhoto to
give all my photos an orange/glowing tint.

6. Food photos?
 I found that most restaurants have food blogs. I think that
this is a good way for the customer to know exactly what
is on the menu, and visitors who click on the blog will look
at the appealing food photos and be like: yes, this is the
restaurant I want to go to. I think this is a very good way
of raising awareness for the restaurant, and yet it also
develops my technical skills.

7. Photo Colour scheme?
 I decided to give all my food a brown/orange looking
tint and it really sets the cozy feel of the restaurant. I think
that this makes the food look more appealing, and in a
food business, you need to make sure the photos of your
food are appealing otherwise customers will not want to
eat at your restaurant. I gave the food a warm feel, in my
opinion it looks appealing, and hopefully customers will
feel the same.

8. Navigation
 I decided to give all my pages a link of their own.
Example: on my website there is a link to contact the
person, a link to the official website, and a link to the view
all the photos (archive). I did this because the links are
quite big, so the customers will find it easy to navigate.
Plus then they are able to choose what type of
information they want to view.

9. Layout?
 I created my own theme. I gave this theme 1 column,
and an endless scroll. I put the links at the top. I gave the
theme 1 column because it is easy for the viewer to scroll
through. I also put the links at the top so that the viewers
know what exactly is on the website, and it will be easy
for them to click it.
