Hmm. I'll take your word that it's amazing. Not having Shockwave support, I just see a mediocre logo.

Wow very well don:
From an artistic point of view: 9 out of 10
From a usability point of view: 1 out of 10
I love those sites if, and only if, created by artists for no other purpose than showing off. Pitty that they are totally useless to deliver real world contents.

Funny, I was in a meeting today and this very type of site was discussed, with the hopes that our site could incorporate Flash & sound like that. We tried to point out that one real problem with using those goodies is that lots of people are unable to see the results of all the hard work & money spent.
Sure, it looks great to those of us on Windows 2000 with high-speed internet access, but what about all those people using AOL and a 33.6k modem? They're looking at the site too, but either have to wait forever to see it load, or can never see the full effects.
We have to keep them in mind in the design of a site.
I'm with jan. Sure, it's very pretty, but took me a few moments to realize how to use the left-right navigation. I'm certain that a most people would never see the other choices. And even then, the payoffs were limited - like only 2 sentences explaining why I should hire this firm (when it took me quite a bit of work using their very non-standard interface to find that).
It's like, "if you're worthy, you can hire us to work for you."
Man, make it easy for people to use your site!
At first, I really, really liked the site for its newness. The navigation is interesting and made me want to try moving around the site. And the open hand to start seems on target - a new perspective. But after a while, like on the contact page, the moving hand seemed a bit old already and somewhat inappropriate since it was everywhwere...
