Hey Mark,
Your site looks fabulous! Very nicely designed. I, too, can't wait for it to 'fill up.'
A couple of notes. It appears your front door (first page) is a Flash only entrance. So, if someone doesn't own Flash, they won't be able to 'get in.' This is probably not a good thing. It will probably redirect them to Macromedia (Adobe now) to download the Flash installer.
You might want to put some plain old 'html' links at the bottom of the front page, or a 'Go to Flash Intro' or 'Skip it' buttons on the front. We generally discourage our customers from Flash only 'front doors.'
You webmaster may also suggest a 'smart redirect' where it checks for Flash, then goes to the Intro, and if not found, jumps right to the website pages. Also, looks like you have a nice DHTML gallery, with image zooms, etc. Very nice, but won't work on some of the more obscure browsers, especially mobile ones. Probably no big deal.
Anyway, wonderful site to go along with your wonderful products!
best,
Chipp
