Very nicelly done, good design, but too "busy" for a web design firm. You propably want something more approachable for potential customers.

Nice design, but I wouldn't associate it with a web designer

I think it looks excellent, the animation at the top didn't take long to download either, which is always better!
I really like the graphics and sounds you used on your Web site. It certainly grabs my attention!

I've noticed that, too.

First of all, your overall design grabbed me, because I like dark mysterious-looking sites.

However...they don't sell for crap.

You'll receive high accolades from other designers and artists, but potential clients (business people who often want quick answers) are going to think you're weird.

Actually, I don't know who your client base is or will be, but you should always look at your site through their eyes, not yours. The usual cliches are true: does your site solve a problem, answer a question? It's not enough just to grab attention.

If you are in the business of web design these are more important than someone that threw up a site and did not know any better.

I hope my comments help

Even though others have said it I can't urge you strongly enough to turn off the sound. This is my #1 annoyance about web site and it usually just make me leave right away. Even when I turned off the background noise, The site still made noise when I moused over the links. This is an extra level an annoyance I have never encountered before.

On the graphics side, the whole thing felt very cramped. It feels very boxed in. I'd use a much more open, inviting design if you are looking for other businesses to dwsign for. They don't want there sites to feel cramped and dark.

Its also not immediatly clear what the user should click on. The links cannot clearly be identified as link, I had to hover over several different pieces of text to figure out what was a link.

On the plus site there are some great looking graphics on the page. There does seem to be some real talent going into this.

Unless my page is loading incorrectly, there is excessive scrolling for just extra/extended background.

I think a clear, cut, defined theme will help the site drastically.
