But seriously, I guess it comes down to taste, and in the case of my website probably I pushed it a bit to the extreme, but personally I like it (I wouldnt have done it that way if I didnt).

Anyways, thanks for the compliments!
Sorry, but it's not just a matter of taste.

There's also the matter of usability. In the case of your site's design, usability is extremely low. Apart from the background quite literally hurting my eyes when I open it, you have a flash "contact" button which is a mailto link in an age where many people use webbased mail, a flash button saying "our blog" which doesn't appear to do anything, and the center of the page dedicated to what at first glance appear to be dead images. Quite frankly, it looks rather unprofessional.

The main website in your portfolio is always your own. From a marketing perspective (note that I am not talking about an artistic perspective here), this one is simply bad.
