[GREN-Exec] Review new website; decide on colours

[John Jackson]

i agree that the black print is the easiest to read. i get frustrated with websites where the designer forgets that readability has to be priority number one.

my reaction to the address was different from Susan's - but even worse. my reaction was to think that was our office where people could come to visit us. 

on the contact us page i would put the e-mail address first because that is the prime way to contact us at any time. i would put the address at the bottom and identify it as "mailing address."

looks great.

When I saw that with the meeting information below, my first thought was that people might think that’s where the meetings are held. I suggest you replace the word Location with either Mailing Address or Contact Information.

(I cannot decide by myself as I am a "little" colour-blind.)  We should avoid the use of a lot of colours.  Please respond as soon as you can so we can finalize the project and move everything into gren.ca <http://gren.ca/>.
