A Review of Minimalist Redesign of Cape Cod Web Design by Nate Hamilton

This isn't a bad start but there are some things that bother me about this design:

1. Cut the amount of content.
2. Make your logo stand out more
3. Use more line spacing
4. Pick a different background texture. You can barely tell that you have a texture and when you see it, you're not sure what it is.

I think these changes will get you on your way to a better design, hope it helps!
