Hi Jess,

Here is a start for that letter about the website. Below is my site 
architecture so far. A couple of questions below that. I'll pass it to 
you for the next edit (no rush - whenever you have time). I just wanted 
to get the letter started while things were fresh in my mind after our 
conversation this morning. Erin and I are working on some issues of 
consistency in link colours, etc. as well as trying to figure out a 
better background solution.
