okay, I'd love to help with this. I'll start adding some ideas soon. If anyone else wants to jump in too that's great, but I'd love to at least help with it all :)

If anyone has an inspiration to share, I'm open to it :)

Okay, let's get this issue a bit off the ground!!

What we need to come up with is an accessible, easy to navigate and will 'scale' a bit i.e. be able to grow as we add new stuff.

I am a big fan of the approach of the gov.uk website for their approach : https://www.gov.uk/design-principles

We want this tool to be clear, informative, simple and above all accessible.

Whoever adopts this issue, should mock up a design in their tool of choice. It could be codepen, or Keynote, or photoshop... Basically whatever you are comfortable with. I personally love to design in browser so codepen would be my tool of choice.

It doesn't have to be a complete design, just a mockup to help us understanding the direction you would like to go in.

I understand that the future of the project may be unclear and you may not be able to visualize anything other than the form where people put their data in, at this point. As long as we have a color palette, font, and perhaps a design for the forms, then we should be good to go.

For color palettes, you could take a look at this link: http://www.colorion.co/popular

Right now we are using Bootstrap. We don't NEED to stick with this though, at least at this point, because the project is so young.

Do your research, try to choose a palette that would be good for just about anyone coming to the site, particularly color-blind people.

I'll be working on this issue as well, so please ping me if you wanna join in.
