I too agree that Flex is probably not the best choice for an information type site. I am using it to develop working applications for clients/work that stress less information and more functionality. Using Flex as a Flash-based web application platform is probably the better way to go and leave the fluff-sites to HTML or Flash.

You've used a good number of the components/effects/etc... available, and the content loads/displays well. Beyond the technical aspect, I agree with Florian on the fact that it's a bit overwhelming with colors and layout. I'm of the opinion that Flex is not the solution of choice for traditional sites like this... did it offer any advantages of traditional HTML or Flash? If this was a learning experience then take it as such and go from here, but I wouldn't use it as your corporate image... IMHO.
