Very good job for a one man web team.

Also colors can get too contrasted and really hurt the eyes. Gray may be boring, but it doesn't cause headaches
That's true, although I'm pretty sure anything can be done in CSS, Flash really just makes it a whole lot easier to do something that's just as nice. None of that Ajax/Web 2.0 stuff, and almost ubiquitous platform compatibility.
Gotta remember though, Flash was intended as an animation tool.

And of course, some features of websites are ridiculously hard to duplicate in Flash without a backend. Like making one word in a document hyperlink to another document. I still haven't figured out a good way to do that.

And colours are awesome, don't diss the rainbow That is, as long as you choose your colours right!
