Well, it's definitely on the road to becoming greatness, but I think a few changes would go a long way in the overall look of your site.
First of all, maps are pretty old school, and except for in very rare circumstances, I would recommend against them. I would change your main nav to a ul with li elements and a's in them. This allows for easy editing and also allows you to add a hover effect on all your nav items (without javascript or flash!). Which brings me to my next point...
I think the flash on your home page is completely unecessary, and since I personally (personally people...) think that flash is blasphemy except in, again, extremely rare circumstances, I am strongly against flash. Also, you could achieve most of the effects you are creating with simple javascript using a framework such as jQuery or MooTools.
Thirdly, I think that your typography could use a facelift, possibly decrease the font-size a bit on some of the pages (or make it more uniform throughout), add some greater line spacing, and change the font to something like Arial or Verdana.
Next I would recommend better separation of your content such as on the portfolio page and on the services page. maybe a border around the divs with a slight background (possibly a very light pink, or light grey with a pink border) would do well on the services, and I think increasing the font size of your accordion headers on the portfolio page and lossing the top border would help as well.
As for the contact page, in firefox 3.0 on windows xp sp3 you have "frommail" chilling up in the upper-right hand corner of the page (not sure how that happened). As for the design, I would either darken up your pink, or lose the color all together in favor of pink accents (such as borders around the inputs, or maybe a right/bottom/full border around the labels). The captcha is fine as pink but the pink text is a bit hard to read.
I'm sure there other things, but those are just the general recommendations I would provide; good luck, I think you have great potential!
EDIT: I forgot to look at most of the source as I was just looking at the rendered page. This is a HUGE change, but I would recommend that you change your site from tables to XHTML/CSS but that might require more learning/work than you want to put into it; I'm not sure. I would recommend you do it that way anyway, but your choice.
