I think the raptor image and name are a little incongruous with the lickable eye-candy Apple product screenshots below. If I were you, I'd consider going all-in with it and just make the whole design a little more threatening and ominous. You could really go for a Rebel brand archetype. Broadcast that you're hardcore, you charge a lot, and you don't care if you scare away a few clients in the process; they were probably lame anyway. Heavily emphasize the blue/grey of the raptor image, lose the big flat Twitter "get in touch" button, the red, the gawdawful Lobster headings. Throw a motorcycle in there, make your logo look like a tattoo, use an Old English-style font. It would certainly be a refreshing distinction from all the Creator/Magician archetypes going around in this industry thanks to Apple.

I'm just a programmer though, so this thought experiment is probably not worth all that much.
