Tea Cozy Project: problems nav bar and background color

Hi guys!
I have quite completed the project, after having spent a lot of time, but there are still some elements I do not like…

  1. the nav bar is set as fixed and with z-index, the other sectors are relative, but they do not go under the nav bar, do you know why?
  2. the nav bar is not totally attached to the top of the browser
  3. I do not understand why “locations” title is backgrounded with black, even if I set up as transparent…
    Any idea?
    Thank you very much!

  1. Set the background color of the nav bar to black and you’ll have to push the “Our Mission” down.
    And also, remove the opacity for nav bar or better still, set it as opacity: 1;

  2. Change the position of the nav bar to top: 0;. If that doesn’t work, give it a margin-top: 0;

  3. Set the color of the title to #fff or simply white.

    I also finished mine recently. Tea Cozy
