A cohesive website is all about presenting information. They call web people "information architects" these days, and there's a reason for that.

I doubt not your webteam's time spent photoshopping the background images for this website. However, it's very bulky and flashy.
I have to agree here. We considered a fancy graphic design at first, but decided it was a bit too much effort, and none of us enjoyed sites with flash as a main part of them.
If you think about it, a lot of great sites out there are incredibly minimalistic, Google, Digg and Slashdot; they convey a lot of information, and load quickly and don't make your eyes bleed (I'm looking at you, animated GIFS).
I love the theme of your website, and there's a lot in there. It looks very cool. Perhaps you could tone it down a slight bit next year, and have an even more appealing one!
