New web site

Feel like have ruined whole idea with Andromeda cloud picture, because it does not fit now. But will figure something else, if the site looks better now?
-
I feel like you are working hard to make some sort of weird blog instead of a normal website. I guess I'm confused as to what the intended result is supposed to be.

Editing css is not the best practice, because if the theme gets updated all adjustments will be gone and will not work on another theme. I did pages from scratch using only html, php and css code without any themes, templates or pictures. But it is kind of inventing wheel.This only applies if you edit it in non-custom areas. Most themes have a spot for "Custom CSS" where you should put all of your custom css code.

For a business website, you'll want a non-blog style theme.
Wordpress is great for most types of websites. It comes down to choosing the correct theme/style for the purpose.
You could also look for some straight HTML5 (static) templates. Those can be very nice.

@john11smith I work with people trying to start out all the time (it's what The Minion Queen does).
You are trying to over complicate everything right now.
Who is your target client?
What are you trying to solve for your target client?
How are you trying to reach your target client?
What value are you going to provide to your target client?
I think you are wanting a simple site but you are talking about a blog .... which is it??

If you are not going to be updating the website to often, don't go dynamic with a cms system like WordPress, good old html site is safer and don't have to worry about updating plugins etc.

I am using this theme on my wp site-

Design looks good. But pay attention to the errors, that Sitechecker founds on the website. No description, 2 H1 tags, http and https protocls work apart etc.

Site looks much better. But I'm still confused, this is just a blog?

My target client small medium businessesAfter finish with the website I'm planning to print some leaflets, then visit my friends and former customers hopefully they will help to open some doors. In worst case try knocking doors and asking questions lake salesman.
I aim to provide all-inclusive very cost-effective IT consulting and services with stress on open source and mainly free solutions.
Yes I see blog was a bad idea, will try to introduce my business, after finish with the design.

I made an IT Consulting & computer repair website and keep it around for if I ever get a chance to moonlight.
My point is that I used static pages... HTML5. I didn't go with a CMS, and I went through a lot of options.
I did pay for the HTML5 template, but it wasn't much at all. And it sure saved me a ton of time.
-
@tim_g I agree, defiantly worth doing it this way as well, there are so many html5 responsive templates out there at not much cost at all, even some free.
