A few good thoughts:
The website looks good, I like the graphics at the top of the page. Nice.
The navigation is easy to use and understand at first glance.
A few improvements:
The site is very graphics heavy. By this, I mean things like the titles for sections of text are just images, which makes the page very slow to load and also gives problems for accessibility users.
Perhaps make some of the titles and images with text on them a DIV with a background and actual text that is typed rather than an image.
Too much to load! It took me ages to load the page, my browser counted around 60 items to load on the page and I spent a good minute waiting for them to count down to done.

Unfortunately, making a pretty site like this one comes at the cost of accessibility. The total size of your external multimedia is 1082415 bytes (about 1 MB). In the web design world, this is pretty huge. Understandably you are going to go with your client's desires but it's worth understanding the large file size could be an instant turn off for those with slower connections.
On the other hand, the site is attractive and aesthetic pleasing to look at, so perhaps the trade-offs are quite good. Who knows.

I also noticed that you are using a script that loads two different images for normal and scrollover on your main links.
This is not a good idea, as the first time someone loads your page, the transition between the stationary and scrollover images 'flickers' between the two as the other tries to load. It looks terrible and leaves a white block there while the image loads.
The best method is to use one image, and shift the view of the image up or down by a certain amount of pixels. This gets rid of the 'flicking' problem entirely, the scrollover image being instant.
See this demo as an example. (http://www.tutorio.com/tutorial/pure-css-image-rollovers)
