Hey, sorry about dissing your site. It's not that bad and could be tuned up quite easily.

– The text shadows on the main page are a bit much. 1px offset is sufficient and the shadow color probably doesn't need to be so light.

– Grey boxes around text are too tight and probably shouldn't be so rounded.

– Headers on home-page are either too big or aren't given enough space. Whitespace! Don't be afraid to use it.

– Darker shadows on headers have the same problem – too much offset – just looks tacky.

– Title and description on homepage looks crammed into the top. Give it more space. Maybe smaller text.

– Red headers are way too bright. Tone it down.

– The bathroom-tile background image is kind of weird.

– Body text is too wide throughout the docs.

– More whitespace throughout the design would help (between all typographic elements), especially given your choice of a large, open typeface.
