    I think the bar under the header image divides the page too much. Might want to consider making it less intense.

    I would also center the light rays.

      Do you mean the slogan divides the page? Could you clarify why this seems so intense to you?

      I'd be happy to. I mean the bar that says "A video, audio..."

      Because that bar is so heavy, it tricks my eyes into thinking the main page content is contained between the navbar and that bar, and I automatically ignore what comes below it (which is the main content).

      What screen resolution are you viewing the site on? I'm working on a MacBook Pro so I hadn't really factored what would happen if the screen were much much smaller.

      The light ray is now centered. Thoughts?

      It looks good. I think it gets your point across and is easily navigable. Good work!
