    I don't want to be hard on you Michael, having read your "About" page, the first thing you say about yourself is "14 years experience has taught me to:‍ Communicate more effectively".

    Well, I no idea what you do... your homepage doesn't show what you do or any examples of what you've done. Your homepage is your shop window - sell yourself, and sell it hard! If I'm hungry and fancy a burger (cheese of course), and walk down the street, if there is no pictures of tasty burgers or something in the shop window to entice me in, then I'm gone, onto the next place. People don't like reading through lots of info, and having to dig to find stuff. You only have a few seconds to catch their attention.

    From what I understand, you are a UX consultant, but I've not seen that mentioned anywhere on your site. This should be front and center on your homepage, along with well executed, and eye catching samples of your work.

    The lack or examples of work from someone with 14 years experience, and only three articles in your blog is not good either. You have video's of things you worked on, and hide them down the page - these should be near the top, as they are dynamic. I suggest you make use of some tasty design resources on Graphic Burger...
