I began by creating a neutral colour scheme. I used light colours as I felt this would create an open and inviting feel to the site.

After receiving feedback from Mehreen I then decided to change the colours to reflect a most rustic homely, feel.

I then decided that maybe using an image as header would give it a bit more impact.

I then decided that the more options I could present to the group the better, so came up with another design. This one took rather longer than the others to produce.
