Hey guys,

Was wondering if you guys would mind letting rip on the general design of this layout. It no where near completion but i would just like to hear what you guys think and any critique or suggestions you may have.

I find the purple text on the purple background very difficult to read.

Really? Well - thanks for pointing that out; Which parts in particular do you mean?

Mostly the name and address section under "Catholic High School". But really, anywhere there is purple text on a purple background does not, IMO, offer enough contrast for those of reduced visual acuity.

There are people with all range of visual ability. I would strive to make the site visually accessible to as many of them as possible.
