    Your website has lots of good content. It's just organized and presented poorly.

    LOGO - The word Prestige is way too big. You should group The Prestige Events together in some way so that it feels like a brand, or a name. The words The and Events look like they are navigation items, rather than part of the logo.

    TEXT COLOR - The maroon is too dark and hides in the background. Especially on an LCD monitor. It needs more contrast to be usable.

    The headers cannot be that dark. A header is supposed to stick out so a person can scan the page and know which section to read. Currently, your headers are darker than the body writing. They are barely visible, and they don't serve their purpose at the moment. Make them More Prominent than the body writing.

    LAYOUT - There isn't enough structure. It feels like the body content is floating away in all directions. You could use some borders and backgrounds to bring it all together.

    The body paragraphs are way too long to be easily legible. Cap the width at 480px.

    You can embed headlines from News section on your home page. It will make your website feel alive, recent, updated. And you can put the contact information on the home page as well so its within reach for a potential client.

    NAVIGATION MENU - Could use some more style.

    WIDTH - You can shrink the overall width of your website because you don't have that much content. It will make the text easier to read.

    It's really exciting. There's lots you can improve upon. Using ConceptFeedback, you're going to learn very quickly :)
