    It looks ok, not professional for sure. But I commend you for probably doing your best. You could hire someone to make a header for you, pretty reasonably, if you want a professional looking header that will make your blog/site look credible.

    As for the text in the header. If its part of the graphic no, googles bots will not pick it up, but if you have your image alt tag labled with the text in the header that would help, but not sure how much.

    H1 tags, your page title tag and and domain URL are all very important for seo purposes along with many other things I will not list. Make sure you get one of the popular wordpress plugins for seo, I cant rememeber the exact name of it, even though I have it on most of my wordpress sites.

    It's quite mediocre though but very good for starters. Work on it, pal. You'll surely come a long way.

    Thanks Guys,

    I've totally redone it (with a 3D water effect), tell me what you think now.

    Hi, you need to work much more on this. Header image is not aligned to top, you have a empty black space there. Water effect, its not improving your headers visibility (title, description), and menu buttons is hard to see too, cause they are white. Try making all more compact, increase header height, and colors adjustments. Footer is black, header originally is black, so blue header image in the center is not working so good. Maybe you should put black in your header, try with that.
