Please help clean up this website.

I am putting the finishing touches on this website I'm building and I'm looking to see if I can get some design tips//overall website feel to make it look and flow better. The last two pages are TBD but they will flow similar to the current home page. Any and all help//criticism is welcomed and appreciated!

This website is awsome some things if you are looking for change i would say is the background repeats when the screen gets smaller. Also some of the white text is a little hard to read with the background but seems to be clear enough to read. But awesome website keep improving and doing more!

The text is clear on my mobile device. Only thing ive noticed is you have a lot of information on your main page maybe split it into different sections for mobile devices.

I agree but thats what the customer wanted so I couldn't really tell him to do what he did not want.

Yep, ive just updated that. I had not finished creating that portion. Im looking for ideas to make it more filling instead of a bare look.

Ive fixed the repeating background issue, thanks for that comment.

I'm currently trying to figure out a better way to display the text other than a white transparent background on the bottom of the about page. Thanks for any and all help!

I put a shadow on the text to help with readability along with making it pure white. should help.

For me text is still kinda hard to read, maybe make the background image a bit blurry and darken it? I would put the second part where you have this line divider into just a plain white background or another color that is on the color scheme, it would help separate the main hero image from the rest. Is the text on 3rd column for the first purple colored logo? if yes, why don't put it under the logo and just make 2 columns with the logo in circle (right now in a box form).
