Wow - worlds better. One thing that strikes me is the logo... maybe it's a style preference, but the overlap distracts me. I would keep it that size and make the white top bar bigger, or shrink it a bit, so it doesn't overlay on to the middle. Also, on your features pages, I would try to do something more with the "Get Started Now" button. The color definitely works, draws my eye, but maybe you can offset it from the text more? Feels jammed in there. Should be a solid, set out call-to-action.
Good luck with it! Looks like an incredible improvement.
Plus 1 on the logo -- it looks a little fragile on the page, and hangs oddly over the page with an effect that I can only describe as resembling the "Floating Sausage" or "Finger Sausage" effect you get when you put your two fingers close together in front of your eyes.
It definitely is a MAJOR improvement though, 100%.
I put the "Get Started Now" buttons on their own lines and indented them slightly.
And as for the logo, I have the g's hanging over the image so that the rest of the text lines up. I tried moving it up but it just looks weird to me. I prefer it to hang over like that... reminds me of when I was first learning to write... and the g's, p's, j's, etc. hung below the line.
I did add a slight stroke to the g's to make the bottom overhang stand out more.
The 'g's I'm okay with dangling, though I still don't think they look great.
What I was specifically talking about with the 'floating sausage' remark was the 'o', 'u', 'o' and 'e' in the logo, and how they seem to ALMOST touch the border they sit above.
For what it's worth, I fancy myself a designer too, and I constantly struggle with letters that dangle and figuring out the appropriate alignment for them.
In general, the site looks amazing, but if I had to point out its achilles heel, it's definitely the logo.

Let me know if that's any better!
