Looks pretty good so far. Just a couple of things.

  1. You need a branding element like a logo that can reassure people what site they're on.
  2. The button on the contact form looks disabled. I would use a color since you've already established a colorful theme.

Hi Jesus

I think the design is well done.

A few points I have

I'm sure you've seen this but your main image has a localhost link.

<img class="header-img" src="http://localhost:8080/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/kreativa.jpg" alt="" style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: -695px; right: auto; bottom: auto; height: auto; width: 100%;">

Design critique The usage of lobster, doesn't appear to pair well with the other typeface used in the page. I think either choosing a different typeface, or sticking to just the one would work well.

Some of your sections could use better alignment. The text has a less than ideal flow to it, this hinders readability.

What I would suggest doing is aligning each section to the right or left, based around what it is currently. Remove the periods from the titles and any excess space from the left and right of the headings. This overall balances the text and makes it much easier for the eye to follow when reading.

Here's a link to a screenshot of some tweaks I made for reference. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5ytl85jmzkzhf7j/Screenshot%202015-03-02%2021.27.47.png?dl=0

Hope this helps, from a quick scan over it.

I would put on some background colors in the page and not just dividing gray line. Just to elevate some of more important aspects of the sites.

Hope it helps.
