Early stages of WP site design. Thoughts?

  • Hi all -
    I'm making a website for my grandfather's latest project - a biogas plant in rural Texas.
    I'm trying to create a clean, simple site (I hate web-clutter!!!) but at the same time I don't want it to be too simplistic.

    There is no content yet on the site - I'm still working on the framework. I'm looking for comments and thoughts on the general layout, and specifically the header. I'm not totally satisfied with it. I think it could be more dynamic, but frankly I'm not sure what to add or change.
    I also designed the logo, and I'm pretty satisified with it, but any comments / suggestions are most welcome :)
    Thanks :)
  • The corn is a nice, if generic, touch. In fact, I'd mute the header to match the tones in the corn picture, to more closely align the greens and yellows but that's just me. Also, maybe a tag line would help add some content/excitement? For example, I have no idea what a biogas plant is - do you expect most visitors to know what it is? If not, then explain it up front and don't keep us guessing. I like the simplicity of the design. Good luck!
