Indeed. The current Navigation bar also seems a bit out of place, in my opinion. It's partially the Teal color, I think. It clashes indefinitely with your background.
However, the color isn't all of it. A solid design is needed, I believe. Right now, it's just a little bar, out of nowhere. What you need is to base the whole layout on that bar. Such as, making it go to the bottom of the page.
As things currently stand, that last suggestion would make things look worse. Mainly because it's a long way down. You don't necessarily need to make the bar itself go all of the way down, but it may be better to not have the "News/Updates" go under it if, if you know what I mean.
Scrolling down to get to some of the sections isn't a bad thing, per say, but if you're going to do that, it's best to have an organized look. Another suggestion, may be to not keep every single update right on the main page. Make a limit, and then have the newer ones push the elder ones off of the page. You can easily create another section to keep track of past updates. In this way, it will make your design seem neater, and will allow your layout some room for your navigation bar, and such.
You're on the right track, but you just need to iron a few things out. ;)
Also, please note, when I say "you" and so on, I'm addressing the whole staff, and not a single person.
