Oahu's South Shore Localism

you have a very effective site. the intro page is simple but invites the viewer into the sight to explore your theme more. Your 2nd page does a good job explaining what you will be talking about and i like how you like "localism" at the bottom to where you define exactly what it is. Another effective thing i noticed was the video of the "extreme localism". although this is extreme it does help to emphasize you point of localism. my favorite part of your page would have to be at the end when you talking about Unity & coming together. i think this is a great way to help teach future tourists going to hawaii how they need to be respectful of the land but at the same time speaks out to the locals in hawaii. that by coming together & uniting, everyone is able to enjoy the natural beauty of hawaii.

a few things i would watch out for:
- sometimes you use profane language... you don't necessarily know who your audience will be, so you might want to censor some of your language. i think you can still be effective in getting your point across without cursing.
- font colors: on a couple pages the font was hard to read bc it was too dark with the black background.

great job!
