Blending the photo into the frame
The photo is a raw snapshot — grey sky, green trees, black asphalt — sitting inside a navy frame on a white page. None of those colours are yours. Four ways to settle it down. Everything else is unchanged.
Blend 1
Navy wash
The whole photo is pulled toward your navy and the colour dialled back. The car stays recognisable, the greens stop fighting the frame.

Blend 2
Brand duotone
The photo is stripped to black and white and re-coloured in your cyan and navy. Strongest tie to the brand, furthest from a literal photo.

Blend 3
Feathered edges
Colour untouched, but the photo fades out at the edges into the navy, so there is no hard boundary between photo and frame.

Blend 4
Both, gently
A lighter navy wash plus the feathered edges. The most settled of the four and the one I would pick.

The one we are building
Your layout, with the two secondary buttons given a dark fill and a cyan edge (Pop 3), and your Google reviews under the headline. No badge, no date chip, no coloured line along the bottom.

Height on a phone: 460px — against 1,070px today.
Home page hero: three mobile layouts
These are shown at phone width (390px) so you are judging exactly what a student sees on their phone. Tap the buttons, they go to the live pages.
Your hero now: 1,070px tallSign Up button sits 1,259px down
That is about one and a half phone screens of scrolling before anyone reaches your main call to action. Each option below is 430 to 460px — the message, the car and all three buttons on one screen, no scrolling. The difference between them is only 30px, so pick on looks and on which button arrangement suits you, not on size.
Your version
Buttons on top, words at the bottom
Driver Training on its own row with Exam Prep and License Exams splitting the row beneath, both pinned to the top. The headline sits at the bottom, leaving the whole car visible between them.

Mobile A
Three stacked buttons
Full width, one under another. Biggest tap targets and the easiest to read. Tallest of the three.

Mobile B
Three across in one row
Icon above a two-line label. The most compact, and all three choices are visible at a glance. Labels are small.

Mobile C
Driver Training first, then two
Your main product gets a full-width gold button; Exam Prep and License Exams share the row beneath. Emphasis where you want it, without much height.

Making your version pop
Your layout is unchanged in all five. Each one adds a single thing, so you can see which one you were reaching for. The last combines them.
Pop 1
Add the reviews
Five gold stars and your 124 Google reviews, under the headline. Proof beats adjectives, and you have proof most driving schools do not.

Pop 2
Add your brand cyan
A cyan badge above the headline. Right now the hero is navy, white and gold only — your signature colour is missing from it entirely.

Pop 3
Make the two buttons real buttons
Exam Prep and License Exams stop being frosted glass and get a dark fill with a cyan edge. The glass ones go muddy over the trees and read as disabled.

Pop 4
Add a reason to act now
A live chip above the buttons with the next class date. On the real build I can wire this to your class list so it updates itself.

Pop 5
All of it together
Badge, date chip, solid buttons, stars, and a thin cyan-to-gold edge along the bottom. More than you may want, but worth seeing the ceiling.

The same four ideas, full width
These stretch to whatever screen you are on, so on a phone they show the mobile version and on this computer they show the desktop version. Useful for checking the desktop side once you have picked a mobile layout.
Home page hero: four options
All four use glassy buttons over the car photo, with Driver Training leading in gold. They differ in layout and in how much each button says. Have a look on your phone as well as here, then tell me which layout and which button style you want and I will build it on the real home page. Buttons link to the live pages, so you can tap them.
Centered, icon and label
Photo fills the hero, message centered over it, three glassy buttons underneath. Driver Training in gold and wider.

Left aligned, words only
Same photo hero, message pushed to the left, buttons as plain glass pills. The tightest of the four.

Icon, label and a line of detail
Each button explains itself. More useful for a first-time visitor, but the buttons are taller on a phone.

Buttons stacked down one side
Closer to your current layout: message on one side, the three buttons stacked on the other, both over the photo.
