I would consider only having the starting animation on the first load of the home page. It looks nice the first time, but every time you click a link, you have to go through the entire "getting things ready" screen, then the 'ya hala!' screen, then the fade up screen. After the 3rd or 4th time, you are actively pushing your user not to click on links also, you have a lot of verbal commands like 'scroll down'. This is necessary because it isn't immediately obvious UX for the viewer, but it could also be done with arrows or pictures that are partially off screen that more sub-consciously tell the user what they need to do, without feeling like they are 'being told' what to do finally, check all your links to make sure they are going the right places. For instance, in the menu dropdown, both What I do and Contact go to the same page

as far as the colors / whitespace / alignment / hierarchy, you have all that down. the page looks great from a design perspective just to be clear I wasn't super negative on the website 😄

Noted, but for now I'm just checking the homepage since It's the one that is the most pain in the ass for me 🙈 Not at all, i appreciate your input 🙏 Regarding the " What I do " option on the menu, I'm lost between two things... Weather i should make a 1- separate page and from that page the user can navigate to each service page. Cons : i find it a little too much because they will have to click on the menu then go to this page and from this page they will go to the service they're looking for, Pros the user will have a better clarification on which service they're looking for because that page will describe each service in short. 2- just add the three services on the menu, cons: not clear to regular user and will have to click on each service with a 33% chance success if this page is what they want. Pros: it's short way and the user won't have to keep clicking links. What do you think?

It probably depends on the total amount of content whether or not you want separate pages for each one, or if it is better to just have them all together one after the other. For instance, you could consider an accordion style design, where you just see the titles, and then when you click, the dropdown adds the rest of the information below, so that the user isn't leaving the page and can quickly see all your options at once

I guess the accordion style is the one 👌 Thanks again!
