Hate to say it but, the purple is "strange" not used much in publishing. As a web designer, I would prefer some shade of Blue, it's a calming, inviting color. And the graphic balloon and moving stuff just distracts from the professional feel you are trying to convey, a bit amateurish. Please don't take this the wrong way but, the old website wasn't so bad. A little updating and it would have been really nice. Nice work otherwise.
