Hi Mario,

It's good that you welcome constructive advice. I love this thread as I get to chat about design which is what I love. Just a couple of thoughts:

1. When creating a brand / logo for your company it's really important that it is an obvious feature. It's not very obvious that the bars underneath actually form part of the logo. It is a good idea that the logo sits in a very prominent location like the top left or right hand corner and is set apart in some way.

2. The gray colour used for the background is too close in colour value to the orange. This means the colours are both equally as strong so they compete with each other for attention. It would be a good idea to deepen the orange slightly and tone the gray down a bit to create for a stronger contrast.

3. I would also set some boundary lines for your design. The orange boxes tend to swim on the page and have no border. I think adding a defined foreground and background would work well.

4. Also I noticed that you would like the very first priority to be the free consultation. At this point, the main feature is the flash presentation and it is overwhelming the attention. If you wanted to keep the flash, maybe you could include text about a free consultation within the the flash presentation?

I hope all goes well!

Kindest Regards
Bronwyn
