For Alicia ยท the combined design

Your home page, put together

Alicia,

Here's the combined design. It has the look you liked from designs 1 and 2 and the wording you liked from design 3. The first picture is the top of the page. The second is what you see when you scroll down.

Your closing line is now the headline. The five ribbons sit just below it, one for each chapter, and each one opens that part of your story.

The quote you sent is on the page too. Next, we start building the real thing.

The combined design

Top of the page: stand-in photo of a woman officer holding a baby, the headline There is so much life beyond a place that hurt you, a line about five chapters backed by the record, and two buttons.
Top of the page

Photo, your closing line, and the first step for a woman going through it now.

Scrolled down: the quote attributed to Zora Neale Hurston, then five full-width ribbon bands, one per chapter, from The officer she was to Healing.
Scrolled down

The quote, then your five chapters. Tap a ribbon to read that part.

The first three designs

Design 1: dark page with a stand-in photo of a woman officer holding a baby, the headline I am proud of the officer I was, a short paragraph, and two buttons.
Design 1

Your words lead

A photo, your sentence as the headline, three lines on what happened, and a clear first step for a woman going through it now.

Andrew's pick, with design 2's ribbons below it

Stand-in photo. Not you; see the note above.

Design 2: five full-width colored ribbon bands, one per chapter, from The officer she was to Healing, under two lines in Alicia's words.
Design 2

The ribbons lead

Your whole arc at a glance. Each ribbon is a chapter you can tap to read, from the officer you were to the work you do now.

To fix: white words on the gold and coral ribbons are too hard to read, so those would get dark text.

Design 3: a full set of five woven ribbons above the headline There is so much life beyond a place that hurt you.
Design 3

The ending first

Hope first, then the proof. Your closing line is the headline, and the story starts below it.

Made-up line. The sentence under the green ribbon at the bottom was written by the design tool, not by you. It won't be used.

Still to decide
