The first thing I would suggest is more color. Maybe change the background color. It is way too white.

Also, add much more information. Ask your friend "What is the purpose of this site," and go from there.

I would agree there is WAY to much white space around the site. The content pages look way to emmm basic and boring almost. Throw in maybe a nice border / edge and a little color. Maybe add a few images on the content pages. Do not forget your typography!!!

Typography can help add FLARE to any website. Do a google search if you need to and look it up. Read some tips about typography and see what you can do for it there. That alone will help BIG TIME.

Good luck to you!

From an SEO standpoint, there is no text on the homepage, and no header tags. It will be very difficult for the site to rank well as the search engines.

If you are trying to generate leads for the home packages, you should probably adapt a direct response website where you give away some free reports on your products, how your services are different, etc. that are obtainable after filling out a short request form where the prospect inserts their name, email, and phone number.

I agree with what has been said thus far I think you should add more colors into the color scheme and you should add some text to the landing page explaining the purpose of the site this is good not only for seo purposes but it's also good to let your visitors know a little more about the site upon entering it.
