@ Steven Thank you, Steven. You pretty much nailed all of my suspicions. I hadn’t thought about the images, but yeah, font icons and SVG’s would make a tremendous difference. As far as the logo, I had recently changed it from one that looked great but I was afraid it was too simplistic. I’ll definitely change it back.
Everything you’ve pointed out is an easy fix. I made that background so that it would give the site somewhat of a flat design effect, but you’re the second person to say they didn’t like it, so I’ll go for something different. As far as a CMS, I’ve avoided that because I’m not that knowledgeable in that area, and also, I like the control I have with a semantic, hand coded site. I’ll give it some thought though. All in all, you’ve been tremendously helpful, and I really appreciate that. Thank you!
