**Motivation:**
====The purpose of our product is to create a web space that will be universally suitable for all users of various ages and disabilities. Whether you are a college student, or an elderly user with impaired vision, our objective is to construct an online user-friendly web page. Our product will allow any individual to access and set appointments online to their personal health institute. Our intention is to focus on usability, accessibility and functionality during our developmental process (Maximum 3 clicks to any functionality) ====

The navigation bar will contain a list of generally accessed URLs, a basic content area search function, and a list of all of the available categories of health information needed. ==== ====The icons available on the web browser will allow users to perform actions and tasks when clicked. Each icon has a different task and once an icon is clicked, a new page will be opened. Note: Alternate text on images – when cursor is placed over an icon, the image will shift to text to ensure users the task they are going to perform ==== ====Drop down menu options for Canadian Health patients are available in English and French (primary languages for Canada).
