I'm also ready to do pro-bono work for causes I deem worthy. My contact information is in the footer of the site. I'm happy to hear from you, if you need a site.
Thank you HN readers!
A few things off the top of my head: 1. It took me ten seconds to figure out you are a catering company. It should have only taken me 2 seconds. 2. Don't like the girl. What is she holding? I just jumped over to istockphoto.com and did a search for "catering" and found a dozen images you could buy for $15 that are better. 3. Also, I don't mean to keep picking on the girl, but nothing about her says "catering" to me. 4. Nothing feels connected. The title, mission statement, and the girl, all seem like they are just floating.
Good luck! Hope I helped.
The design is not working well for me, if I had to say one thing that would be make it simpler, in every aspect.
You have maybe 3 seconds to grab my attention, and fancy screen sliding isn't going to do it.
Don't make me think.
I personally hate the color palette too, but I can't articulate what's wrong with it.
I hope this helps...
