Site Strategy:
idea concept and implementation
change the layout of the site, set a baby theme for this website to make it look more attractive.

reason:
the reason that i wanted to set a theme to make the website look more attractive is because when i viewed this site i can't see any baby theme in this site if take off all the information. But the layout is neat enough, so i will change the navigation bar, design some icon for it. And also rearrange the layout design.
