The main objective of this website is to introduce yoga and meditation into people's daily lives since the benefits are many. The website will introduce all the benefits in summarized text and encouragement to sign up for a newsletter where they will be provided with more information on yoga and meditation. The website will start by motivating the visitor to want to know more about yoga and meditation and how it can improve their overall health for example lower stress, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, etc.
Navigation Bar
The top of the website consists of a responsive navigation bar where the logo is placed on the far left and the menu on the right. The logo was made with the help of Looka, a website that generates logos based on input about the brand such as color, sentiment, and branch. The menu bar consists of ”Home”, ”Inspiration” and ”Contact”, all of them being links for easy user navigation.
Benefits of yoga and meditation
In the Home section the user can read about the benefits of practicing yoga and meditation where the main goal is to provide facts and information, the benefits of yoga and meditation on its own, and as a combination for greater health. Each text section is intentionally made short with relevant key points to inspire the user/reader to keep their interest and the continuation to explore the website.
The website was successfully deployed via GitHub by the following steps:
- Login to Github.com

A color generator was used to find a suitable color scheme for the Yoga Focus website. The focus was to find a color that exuded calm, peace, and relaxation. The hero image with a person sitting in a yoga lotus pose was used as a reference to find the right colors. The color generator can be found on the following website.
