I'm not a fan of splash pages, but I really like the illustrations on the splash screen menu and the minimal approach to navigation. I could see repeating the illustrations in the header as well, though, rather than using the pop up menu. I also think it would be nice if they would be shown in color on the splash page. Those great illustrations shouldn't be hidden. The layout is clean and the style is very soft and elegant. For usability sake, I could deal with a slight bit more contrast in the text color towards a darker gray as well. Overall, however, I find this site very easy on the eyes.

I like it, especially the use of tooltips as taglines.
However it's frustrating that the instructional text that says "click on the title" isn't part of the hotspot. It actually moves away from your mouse when you try to click it.

I agree, Diana. Same with the icons themselves. They should be links as well. There's great attention paid to style and effects here, but there are some minor usability improvements that can be made, for sure, that would greatly improve the experience.
