This is the default home page. It was implemented so that there would be a default page, as before we linked directly to the user's profile (which was an unprofessional design choice at best.)

The next step was clicking either "Sign Up" or "Log in."  These were separated because we observed that it was common to input a username and password in the incorrect boxes on websites that display both "Sign Up" and "Log In" options on the same page.  None of our test users complained about this, so we thought it safe to implement this even though it goes against standard practice.

This is the home page once logged in. It displays four icons that the users may use to link to different pages: their own profile; a list of their friends' profiles; their own reading lists; and a search page for all books. This page reflects an important design choice--every page is designed to be easily adapted to a mobile device screen. Furthermore, the color scheme is a result of our previous test iterations, where it we found that more consistency and a reduced color scheme were desirable.
