Makes a good first impression

I selected 18tags for a contract job, replacing an unmaintained derelict WordPress site for a statewide environmental advocacy org. I wanted a conservative, purely functional layout more like a traditional website than, for instance, a magazine layout or art school project. So far I am very impressed by how configurable this theme is. I am about 90% done with layout and configuration and it is possible that I might not need a child theme to finish.
