    Laughs. You want tips? OK. Let's step through it.

    1) Logo? BBB... Maybe some kind of design.
    2) When you've a fixed header in a responsive design - it's VERY USUAL for that to contain 'navigation'
    3) Try to keep the content symmetrical. So that it keeps the horizontal lines constant.

    That should keep you occupied.

    Good site and layout, maybe clean up the logo a bit and if you could add any trust symbols visible above the fold this would probably help your conversion rate.

    It looks good, but I do have a couple suggestions. First, get rid of the moving top bar; make it fixed and unmovable. It looks unprofessional and unnecessary; and as you scroll down the page, it sort of covers up whatever is at the top of the screen. Secondly, I'd suggest your company name at the top left of your page be made to look like a logo, maybe incorporate a small man with a wrench, or something snazzy and memorable like that. Right now, it simply looks like text.
