Problem

• Websites informal and basic design detracts from
  the significance and complexity of the project
• Lack of content and presence of errors may deter
  the user
• Websites design does not incorporate visual
  factors required by the Rutgers Visual Identity

  improve the aesthetic

  acknowledgment of information to be added
