About This Site
This site's theme is a university theme because you are students at UT and I thought it looked collegiate. I appreciated the clean lines of the layout and the muted grays and maroons, which are neither garish nor too dull. The font seemed straightforward and easy-to-read, which is paramount for a website with a lot of text. The music that accompanies the xyz page was chosen for reason abc. (write more here; etc.)
