LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksI don't know how to make my header look appealing. I tried a lot of things and none of them make it look good. Theres always white spaces somewere. I tried puting quotes or just short messages like " web and graphic design" but I just cant make it look... right. Please take a look and maybe give me some suggestions.

Hmmm I did not notice anything. What I did notice is "Incorerate" is spelled wrong, and the text in the header looks kind of all over the place? Did not notice any whitespaces.

Clean up the header text, looks scattered as zboost said. I'd probably cut the quote or move it.

You say your sites are "designed with huge attention to detail" - spend some of that attention on your own site - I counted 5 spelling errors. I know English is not your first language, but use a spellchecker.
There's not a lot else to critique until you get some content.Good design should never say "Look at me!"
It should say "Look at this." ~ David Craib

Lol I can spell pretty well. I just don't pay attention because this is not the final text. Same with the slideshow. Not to worried about that at this point.

I got rid of the quote. Now I have no idea on what to do with that space. It stands out like a sore thumb....

maybe just a subtle background in the header? Something with a darker white but barely noticeable?
