When designing a web site, color schemes elicit emotional responses from visitors while unifying site pages in an identifiable, cohesive manner.

Choice of web site color for a business, school, church, or organization can…increase sales…strengthen good will…establish brand recognition…promote events…gladden the heart…provide insight…sway opinion…even cross cultural boundaries.

Color conveys emotion, energy, peace, passion, hope.   Pictures say a thousand words.  Combine pictures with color and the visual impact strikes the soul!
