I gathered some references and I think you're just too rigid on the design itself

I feel like you should look at these for reference but also look at competitors in your area regarding how they have designed there's so you can stand out more

Is this your first time designing? (Just curious)

[lilac whale]

yes

Ah okie well welcome to the design world then! I feel like (so correct if im wrong) you want a clean layout and more structured, which is cool and especially common starting out, but I think you can let loose a little bit with your imagination then build structure from there

oh okay

yah I was trying to go for a clean look

Such as if you have your own photos choose your favorite and maybe edit some (not the grass but like tones, contrast etc), then think about what fonts you like for your brand since ultimately the business is itself but you are the face still behind it

What type of typeface do you think you are and how does that correlate with how you conduct business? Things like that. Then comparing others around you for some research to be better than the competitor and design based on what you like and do that they lack

And thats fine! But express yourself more and just have more fun with it!
