While flash is indeed eye-catching, memorable, and looks fantastic, for a business site, you're making it so that all of your business is going to be totally dependant on your advertising and word of mouth. Business sites should NOT be 100% flash based because the search engines can't read text thats inbedded inside of the flash files.

You can submit your site to search engines, and after 6 months or so, it will initially start showing up, but in order to increase in page ranking, and show up higher or remain in the search engines at all, your page must have standard HTML for the bots to actually read.

Its a well designed site, but it would be in your interest to look into building it with a standard html/php shell, and to include flash elements instead of being 100% flash. You also have zero meta info. If you're looking to drum up new business via the web, this site will fail. If you're just looking to be a gallery to show existing photos and get word of mouth business, then it should work out well for you.

I like it. I think it is great. I personally think that for the business of photography it is all about flash and grab. For other businesses, it might be about functionality, but your clients are after looks. They probably only want to work with somebody with a site like yours.
