    Hi Alex. I really like what you've come up with. It's very clean. The header is nicely done.

    As to the points you seek feedback on:

    1. I like the blue. In the header, maybe lighten the area behind the robot just a bit to make him pop a little more. As for the gray, it's a bit too dark, and there's a bit too much of it. Perhaps if the background for the "software testing" section were pure white, this would help.

    2a. As for content, I'm trying to decipher the hierarchy. Is the testimonial in the header the first thing I should look at, or the content under the "software testing" header? Also, I'm not really certain what product or service is being offered. Maybe the header area would be better suited to that information.

    2b. I like the way the photo breaks up the main content in the first mock-up. It might be a tad wide, so you may want to consider how to narrow that text block. The text column for the second mock-up is too wide.

    Overall, nicely done. Keep up the good work.

      Thanks a lot for feedback.

      We've consider changing testimonials for the sharp descriptive text, or even a slider with both.
