Hahaha, "Making" names. That's super. Nice work. I like the type in the background, works well with the name Forge.
I'm more drawn to the blog articles than your work (thanks to the bright orange on black). Was that intentional? If you want people to click the "We build brands..." bit, consider switching the colors. Make the background on that text orange, and the dates background teal. Actually, why are the dates more important than the article titles? I might consider making those titles colorful or more bold in comparison to the dates.
Love the colors. Took a while for the large lightening-bolt transparency shape to click. BUT that issue might be resolved at full size.
And I agree with Jason, the orange would really make the "We build brands" pop, but I really like how the orange is an accent to the teal. Hopefully there's a way to tweak the hierarchy without losing that.
new! improved! took and worked in a lot of suggestions and i think it really strengthened the design. still working, so feel free to keep the suggestions rolling...
