Hello Richard,
While design itself is adequate, it is far from creative or engaging. It's safe to assume that that was the goal, so i'll focus on usability and engagement of visitor, clarity of message.
First thing I thought is ... what is this company? Your logo does not really explain what you do or what the name of the company is. Rm1? Rm? I understand it's your initials, but for someone who's a first time visitor and doesn't know it will not be obvious.
To add insult to injury - there is no tagline next to the logo, just a "translate" box. I would question the need of that, but I don't know your demographics, so I won't. Recommended placement for such "utility" controls is usually to the upper right of the site.
I see you have your name and phone number to the right and I think - why doesn't the logo say "Richard Miles", with a tagline underneath - "Quickly grow from idea to impact"? I would also then increase the size of the phone number and add some social icons next to the number to get in touch with you. Facebook, twitter, etc.
The main image is a waste. It takes up a ton of room and delivers only one message without a call to action or any proof. Why not combine the text into two lines, have a quick list of services you offer below (checkmarks) - we provide consulting, we develop the technology, we guide you to success, etc. Each item in list can point to a further page which explains that particular service. The block should end with a call to action button which takes people into your case studies. You can attempt to convert them right away with another, smaller or less obvious button next to this, but it's realistic that they will want to learn more before they commit.
The bottom part is also problematic. You list out the services which is good for SEO but does nothing to convince me. What are your credentials? What have you done? What's your track record? What are some of the case studies? This is the ideal space for that and you should use that. use titles that encompass what has been achieved with a little image to the left and a short blurb below the title explaining the case study. The customer feedback can stay where it is - but right now it's very impersonal. Who said that? Why do I trust them? How is this related?
These are some ideas that should help you out. Thanks for reading!

Aurimas Adomavicius commented:Richard - glad i could help. You are also making a flawed assumption that your visitor will warrant an additional click to find the information. If you don't make that assumption you will see that the other comments I made are very much applicable.

Language Flags not Drop down Input
Oh come on, you can use there some nice flags icons, why drop down input? Because you have too many? If you use 16x16 pixel icons you have lots of space there!

This content..well rearrange it!
How rearrange? Easy one: First of all use some thumbs pictures in the front of the text and don't make them on 2 columns, just use 1 column of each! Simple list, because then you can align also the "Read More" which now is not align nicely!

Here....Put a Picture!
Put a Picture here above the text, and move the under! You have now an empty space which is Not Okay!

Add here a <br>
Insert here a <br> to add an extra space between the text!
Thank you for your comments. Some were helpful, while others were not. I appreciate the branding and identity comments in paragraphs 2-4. The rest of your comments not so helpful - part of the problem is that the single screen shot image of the home page doesn't show the other images in the slider; and your comments about my credentials, track record and case studies are all answered in the subsequent pages (About, Results). But I do appreciate the time you spent in reviewing my site!
