Ongoing Problem Log:

April 1st - Worked on logo design more, trying to incorporate the company name into the design.
Found a new layout, that puts less emphasis on photos and more content. Will begin working on a creating a mountain range vector to help distinguish sections, similar to the city skyline in the product list of the  Spread the Bagel site. Also struggling with certain sections showing up on site preview that are showing up on the dashboard. Though Webflow is user-friendly, I need to take the time to watch all of the tutorials online, rather than bits and pieces.

April 5th - Photoshoot was a huge fail, (only got one "useable" image) need to gather more ideas for staging and actually think about how it will be executed prior to going into the shoot.

April 10th - Decide against the whole "video" background. Realized most people don't care to see or watch a video when they just want a damn bagel. So reworking everything to be as simple as possible and user-friendly when someone may be hangry.
Also after creating and deleting countless logos in a spiteful rage, I finally have a logo I like. Needing to figure out how to get it to pop and flow on the website nicely.

April 22nd - I have been struggling with getting the design to my liking and today I switched templates... Not liking the layout has caused a major delay in making the website. Switching, though losing all of my previous work, has made me feel as though I will actually be able to accomplish what I want with this website. Still struggling with getting the site to be appealing while also being informing for my audience (local business owners).
