Nice Layout but a bit slow loading with my slow connection here in Madurai, excellent opening but the link to the other site breaks a bit the estetics of the opening.
Maybe a hint to consider:
why that big size, a smaller size could increase speed
I did two years ago one in flash to avoid all the coding,
yours seems to have a Go-life structure
Compare once for the size and the photo-presentation
here or
here in flash, still to be worked out more, maybe it can inspire your designer.
