Critique: A huge flaw is that nobody has updated this site for the spring, so there's still snowy landscape pictures and Christmas trees on the main page. I feel like there's too much blank space in the header image, and the white house on the end of it feels random. An opaque image of some neighborhood landscape covering the background of the header might help with this. It also feels like there's too much blue. Changing the background to gray could help with this. The blue underlined links need to be fixed, the footer links could use better organization, and the blocks above the footer ought to go. Instead of the blocks, they could have those same links, and possibly the same images, being presented in their flip-book in the middle of the page. The current pictures that are there have broken links, and the space could be used for the more important images of Westminster, like the Arts Center.
