Ask HN: What do you think about the design of my website?

Here's the design for my new website. The stars fade in one by one in a and they continue to fade in and out in a subtle fashion. The clouds also go left to right continuously. All animations, the stars and clouds are done using CSS, the only JavaScript used is starting the position of the clouds and the number of stars, which is dynamic per your screens resolution + random positions throughout the screen. Thanks!

Until I read your description I didn't even notice it.

Your homepage has a lot of scrolling and too little (and too vague) information. Looking at it I don't know who you are, what you do, and what you are offering.

Your website is certainly nice and modern looking, but it doesn't tell me what I want, as a visitor, to know. Consider answering the following questions on your homepage:

   Who are you?
   What do you do?
   Why would I want what you're offering?
   How do I contact you?

P.S. I'm sorry if I come across as overly negative (or rude). That was not my intention.

Thanks for the suggestions Vukmir. I'll see how I can incorporate some of the mentioned ideas on the website.

As a total stranger hitting your landing page I have no idea what you do — so I had to go first scroll down the homepage, realize there was nothing there and the go one click to your about page. Also the description "consulting" is a bit generic and makes me think of straight business consulting.

One last thing: You should have a call to action above the fold as well even if it's just a phone number.

Thank you for your feedback Michael. I will definetely implement the improvements you've mentioned.
