    Good start

    This is a good solid start. Here are few things to work on:

    1. The logo header feels squeezed and forced. Add some more padding to make it feel more natural
    2. Make your navigation at the top more prominent.
    3. Bring your sub navigation below the header and make and just make it simple on the gray background.
    4. Your image header is pretty strange. I don't like how the gradient flows into the image and the way the text is laid out on top of it.
    5. On your text areas don't use the an underline for the headers, except for the headers in the bar on the right
    6. The learn more link is a bit oddly placed.
    7. In the largest text area, the images have too much space between them. It also feels strangely weighted. Maybe put the images above the text...keep playing with it.
    8. Lastly, start the footer over. The footer looks really out of place. I would use a dark, neutral footer, maybe some sort of charcoal color?

    Keep working through this site, I'm confident you'll have something you can really work with here.

      Hi Nate thanks for your valuable comments,

      1- Agreed

      2- This has intentionally not made very prominent.

      3- Interesting point, I would experiment.

      5- This could be experimented.

      7- Actually, in main site the images would be somewhat bigger they will have the same amount of white space which is equal to left of first image.

      8- I have already planned a footer rework, more like standard wordpress blog footer.

      Thanks again Nate, you really have made very valuable comments.
