Your site isn't in English. I really wish it was because I am actually very interested in learning more about this company and since English is the only lanugage I use to communicate this creates a problem for me. The site design looks great. I really like the flash animations personally because they are not overly animated thus IMOP they really appeal to me.
I don’t have too much to say negatively besides you may want to make your site available in multiple languages. This could be an essential feature to implement onto your site because it would help visitors that do not understand the language used on your site. In addition, this could open up your site to many more potential customers.
The reason why I am suggesting you have multiple languages available is because your site is using a top level .com domain and it gives visitors the assumption that the site will be in English.

Both technically and aesthetically… well done. At least as far as the first page is concerned. The English side of the site seems to be down, so I can’t get much further.
I like the simplicity, yet minimal use of animation to catch/hold interest. Wish I could read the rest of it!
Hey, StudioWorks, sorry it took me so long to get back you! It kinda fell through the cracks there.
The first thing I notice when I load your site is that it's pushed over to the side of my window. I browse with a window with at about 800px (windows taskbar on the right, Opera panels on the left). So I just see about 3/4 of the main area. Of course, when I scroll over, I notice that this is completely unnecessary because the design itself almost fits in my window except for those little gradients on either side! So why all the white space on the left side?
You know, a lot of people can't or won't critique sites in a language they don't understand but I think it's a really good way to look at a design. If a design works without (understandable) text you've done something right.
I gather that this is a design studio - there's that much in English. But what is with the meditation picture? Please don't use spiritual practices to sell your product. I saw this on a TV commerical recently and it really bothered me. As a practicing yogi I find the use of spiritual arts to sell products to be quite offensive.
Congrats on the CSS layout! That's a great accomplishment for such a detailed design.
A few unexpected things:
On the portfolio page, I expected to be able to click on the thumbnails to go to the main site. Same with the little viewer in the bottom-left corner. What's the point of being able to browse through thumbnails without the option to get more information?
I just found the "english" link at the top. The first line is in ROmanian! That's what I read first, so I was confused. I didn't read any further because my brain automatically assumed that the rest of the text was in Romanian. Put the english text first.
Overall this is a very well done design. It's very conservative yet fresh at the same time. You've created an excellent branding image for your clients.
Thank you all for your reply's. I really apreciate it.
Megan : you have 800 x 600 resolution. This site is optimized for 1024x768. It's fixed css layout this is why you see it as you see it . We're going for a flexible css layout with the new site update.
Thank you all again for your comments

1. Nice page overall
2. very fast page loads
3. Nice color scheme
But
4. Why is the left handed boarder so big? on my 800x600 resolution screen I have to scroll right to see part of the page while there's a giant blank boarder along the left hand side. I don't get it.
