Homepage Research: St. Louis

St. Louis:

Critique: I really enjoy the simplicity of this site. The panoramic photo is kept thin and neat, with the background playing well against it. The white space separating the photo from the background and navigation is also visually appealing. I really don't like that they didn't change the color of the links, though. The blue detracts greatly from the professionalism the rest of the site offers. It'd also be a nice change if they didn't have the navigation links become underlined with hovering over them; the change in background color is good enough, and is a nice touch. I also noticed the body links turn red when hovered over, which really needs to be changed. The footer is decent, but I don't like how bulky it is, and the only social media link is tiny and tucked away under the city address.
