I know "above the fold" is totally overrated in web design, but in this case there seems to be an extreme amount of screen space devoted only to the title and logo at the top. I'm rocking a typical 1440x900 MBP and the actual content starts 2/3 down the page. I'd hate to be a 1024x768 user. Speaking of which: prepare to have your mind slightly ruptured when resizing your browser window. I'm also not a fan of the blurred paper airplane at the bottom left, which clings to the frame border unnecessarily. A pretty typical graphic design "don't" right there. Nothing against the agency, which might be rad-sauce (though I'm always wary of "custom CMS" offerings). But I've seen better. I always pimp www.hugeinc.com as my favorite example of a web design agency. Certainly not bad, but it’s got a few problems IMO.
