I agree with Peter for the most part.
From a marketing perspective, a page should load quickly and get to the point quickly. The overall design is clean and that is very good.
If you are going to have the site take a bit of time loading, I would rather see it load larger samples of your work rather than flash.
One of my most favourite ads ever was the VW Beetle (the old one) ad that Ogelvie Mather did back in the late 60s or early 70s. The only things on the page were the caption 'Volkswagen, the peoples car' and a small picture of the beatle. It was black and white and there was mostly white space.
The point was simple. This is a car for the common folk. Its small and inexpensive. The ad sold a lot of Beatles and won a lot of awards.
