Well.. If I was to say something about it general, I'd say it's a very nice, interactive animation. The artist / Flash / AS guy definitely knows his stuff - I like.
But.. if you wanna look at it as a website, there is not an awful lot of good things to say. In fact, it could be classified as another textbook compendium of worst practice (not even getting into validation, standards, etc.):
- indexable content a lot... anyone?
- they've got framesets. for real?!
- 'intro-page' -> tables used for layout. It's 2011 ffs
- accessibility NOT
- usability NOT (for example: is there anything sweeter than right-click disabled pretty much on your whole screen?)
- a proper classic of the genre, one of my personal 'favourites' -> sound on by default
- weird sense of humour -> it actually says 'Enter Website' on the 'intro page' (what website?

Too much use of flash in this website. From a designer's point of view, it's really amazing!

I agree

I totally agree and present this simple test to confirm the position. Simply ask the SEO "expert" where their site ranks for the search term "SEO".
That simple test illustrates the problem perfectly ... there is a whole lot more demand for certain keywords or categories than what can be met with a results page only displaying 20 results and no amount of SEO will get you ahead of millions of other websites who also use SEO themselves.

I spent all of 22 seconds, and I had to leave.
I personally dislike "flash only" sites.
It may appear novel at first. However for normal navigation it does become difficult. It possibly breaks a lot of HCI and UX design rules.
If I had to do a project like this, then without a doubt it would be in HTML5.
That is my £0.001.

If I am not mistaken they used Adobe Flash because we all know that Flash is best known for creating interactive animations, combining audio, video, hand-drawn animations, warping effects and clickable elements into independent, self-contained objects.Flash is compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox and other common browsers.

Sites with design like this were populare some 5-7 years ago. But hese days they are not as reasonable as before. Instead, you can have your site donein HTML/CSS/PHP... and only some portion of it can be in Flash to have such effects.

there you have a trade-off. either stick with a stie with lots of graphic quality and utility, or get a well indexable site. of course you can achieve both at the same time but that becomes pain at most times
