I have used google fonts to select a font type that best supports the goals of the website, to provide a fun and easy on eye travel site for holidaygoers. For the main text I have selected Open Sans. To make the headers and the navigation bar stand out form the text, I decided to use Fredoka.

The main color schemes for the website are black ( #000000 ) ground. White font (#FFF) and the gold (#8f773c9e) was added to borders, button text and hover affects to add a hint of color to the website.
