To get started with customizing our map, we'll need a Mapbox account.
Mapbox is a suite of mapping tools that provide services from creating a custom Map Style (like what we're doing) all the way to various APIs like looking up the coordinates of a location by an address.
It's easy to create an account and they provide a generous free tier, so it makes a good option for us to get started!
