    There's potential

    I like where you are going with this, it has potential. However, there are a few things that could do with tweaking I am not sure about the "the Power" font, it's very old school, and doesn't really work for this site.

    I personally can't stand Arial as a body / Heading font it's a bit like "comic Sans" for me, I hate it... I would use Trebuchet MS, which in my mock up below I have changed it too...

    I have hacked at your design in areas that I believe will work better for you I hope you don't mind.

    Good Luck!

    overwhelming

    As a whole the site is quite overwhelming.

    To start, I would eliminate the Eccentric font and replace it with the script you used for your navigation.

    Second you need some added contrast between the header and content area. It all runs together a bit too much.

    I would also change the font you use for your headers (looks like a basic Arial or something similar) to either something new or that same script.

    The images are a bit cheesy and not useful. The presentation clipart gives it a bit of an unprofessional feel. The Mac image is irrelevant to the product or service. If you are going to dedicate that much vital space to an image, make it something that really jumps out at the target (clothing in this case would probably be ideal). I think the icon images are a bit cheesy as well. I would be in favor of removing this section entirely and replacing it with an overview of what benefits you actually provide. You can put that information in a services or about page.

    The header can be improved..

    Hi Oliver,

    I like the design except for a few things. 1. The header part: The green strip on which the mac sits does not look like a table top and the mac too seems to be floating in mid air. (The keyboard and mouse look out of scale but that's a minor point). I would remove the mac from there.

    1. Maybe it is just me, but the red in 'Power' is a little too bright.

    2. The image on the mac's wallpaper does not say anything abt your service. I would suggest having an image appropriate to your service in that place instead.

    3. The disco lights like brush strokes in 'The Latest Designs' section is kind of distracting and "noisy". Could be removed.

    4. In the header section, the 'Browse the shop' and 'order custom designs' could be made into call-to-action buttons rather than links. If changing into buttons, keep in mind about which one is more important and use colors accordingly - you don't want to have 2 call-to-action buttons with the same color.

    5. In the header, there is a small type. In "...personalise your online and offline lifes today." Change 'lifes' to 'lives'.

    Hope this helps.
