Like Mike, I too couldn`t figure out what you were selling or offering on the site without a bit of digging.  You need a simple Statement of Purpose on the home page.

Also, dump the music.  It`s annoying to those who go to your web page in an office or browse after everyone else in the house is asleep.

We`ve had a number of discussions about audio on Web sites, from avatars and animated sales figures to music. At least here, the consensus seems to be to make the default as having no audio, with a "play the music," or "play the video" button readily visible. If you must have the music, you should also have an "off" button immediately visible.

I didn`t see anything about the product and its function on the landing page, but was willing (for critique sake) to put up with the noise to look around. I couldn`t make a lot of sense of the many-colored navigation boxes, so randomly clicked on Home. That didn`t tell me anything either, and by then, the music was so annoying I just blew it off.

I`d suggest having something in a tagline, 1 paragraph, or mission statement that immediately tells the visitor what you`re selling and where to go next.
