It's pretty nice... However, it's purple. Lets see what the others say about the color, maybe it's just me.

lol the colour didn't bother me too much thought i think adding a few others might help. For some reason the logo text seems off, they look better on the splash page though. The splash page would probably look better if it didn't have all the services listed. The twisting totem sign looks cool but it is a bit misleading unless all of those companies are your clients. The layout is interesting but looks a little too simple, like the menu and foooter areas are a bit plain.
I don't like how the content is on the left because the nav is on the right. So when you click on a nav item you have to look back to the left every time. Just seems out of place. Also "Excite [has] recently..." Also the choices don't inspire me to click on them. Like when you go to design, just the plain text links on the side seem boring and don't make me want to explore everything. Also it really hurts when 2 out of the first three links don't work :|
I like some of the visual stuff u got going on though. and some of the work that you've done. Your home site just doesn't seem as inspired.

Ok its not bad in terms of layout and the like, but must say i dont like the colour...
Its to purple, i dunno maybe its just me but i find portfolio sites work better when their muted colours.
Oh and the font is not good at all use a pixel font or something more crisp.
And maybe make a bit more of some of those 3d models they are pretty good ,and somehow when your looking at them it kinda makes you think why doesnt the site look as good ?
Not bad but could be much improved..
Oh and the mask effect when on the contact us section needs to be faster and also it finished leaving two blank spots....

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've just uploaded a new version based on your comments:
Purple is gone - Seems about 50% of people had a problem with it.
Tried to make the main Nav a bit more interesting.
Speeded up the transition of the contact page.
I have the services on the splash page for search engine purposes (haven't done the optimisation yet) but maybe I should get rid of them too and build some gateway pages.

Much better already, though id consider removing the drop shadow from top and bottom of the main viewing area, or reduce it a bit.

I personally like the font, it gos well with your sort of curvy/smooth design. The mask effect should be faster on the contact us and info pages. I'm still not a big fan of the colour, maybe its me. I would go with green or orange. Like I said, it's probally just me. I also don't like the sound for when you click a button. It's sounds to, er, default. If that makes sense. Other than that, I like the site very much. Nice 3D work.

Some of your transitions...if you call them that, (where the pics on the right in the content area fade in, or get placed using lines etc.) seem a bit slow, but over all a well structured site...doesn't say much for design though...
