Essentially my target audience is a crucial factor to the overall design and is an element I should consider throughout the entirety of the design process (this was already a very clear aspect for me but I feel like its good to emphasise this).  

The navigation is inherently important along with my sites overall framework and layout- it needs to be clear and familiar in order to ensure usability (again I have been considering both these elements throughout my research but again I feel like it's good to clarify).
