What effect can a color scheme have on a website? How can it make a website better? How can it make a website worse? Explain why color is important.

Color can give the effect of temperature. For example, if you have a mostly blue website, it will make the viewer feel a little bit colder when they view your website. In contrast, if your website is red, your website will make the viewer just a littler warmer when viewing it. 

Color can also give a good first impression which decides how they look at your website for the duration of their visit. If your first page had a really bad color scheme and is hard to read, the viewer will possibly get a headache and leave your website. If you have a good color scheme, one that is easy on the eyes, you will have a happy viewer who will continue to look at your site. 

Color can also have an effect on emotion. Blue makes people feel more sad, or just a bit down. Red can make people's adrenaline. Pink makes people's muscles relax. Yellow can make people feel happy.

I know Photoshop is used to alter images in any way you want. I've used it before, but I'm still clueless about how to use it. I've used things like it, like a Microsoft Photo editor.

Think about how a user (me or anyone else using your site) might function and interact with your site. What are some important functional features to make your website easy to work with? How can you make it easier for the user and not frustrating? Explain why this is so important.

If everything runs smooths, for example all of the links work properly and the images work, then the user could move through your website with ease.  Some important function features would be working links, external links, and an email link.
