Title: Needmore code challenge for Rose Emmons.

Hello, Raymond!

I sincerely apologize for the lateness of this pull request.

You asked for my thoughts on your code challenge. My biggest issue was Compass. The framework actually slowed me down because I'm so used to writing my CSS by hand. I've used SMACSS for quite some time to keep my CSS lean, and had extreme difficulty integrating that style with Compass. I think SMACSS + Compass is not possible, but I did my best. I'm curious to know how Needmore organizes its code.

The other issue I had was I had so many ideas I couldn't decide which one to *use*. In the end I went with a vintage theme. I didn't make it responsive because I wasn't sure if that would be overkill? If it disqualifies me, I'll totally understand!

Thank you for allowing me to participate in your code challenge. I sincerely appreciate it, Raymond, regardless of outcome. I hope the Needmore team has a smashing weekend!

Best regards,

Rose Emmons
