Visual Design in general is all about common sense and solving a communication problem, simply, communicating and getting the message home. Some do it in extraordinary ways, some keep it simple, and it all depends on the subject and the audience. But wait! Designing websites that are to be serving points and an interface to a worldly organization can’t be done with having the home page full of flashy animation fading photos chosen(not taken) from a photo stock CD/Website. It’s about serving the visitor with information.
Having my design hat on, looking at Saudi’s World Trade Centre, to my amazement, a multi level menu system for you to find your way, instead of using the homepage as your index to the whole site. In short: no IA design.
Okay, hold on, that’s a rip alarm screaming!
We strive, your business thrives
Rings the bells?
It’s not about showing how good you can pickup photos, or how good you can rip slogans. It’s about communicating a purpose and that purpose is not “Showing that you can design”, it’s “Getting the message home!”.
Enough ranting for today.

Hey thanks for pointing out that website for me, so other than the horribly picked wording. (someone has to pay for putting the word “phobia” on a website for biz) what do u suggest to make it better ?

I guess I’ve mentioned it above, just serve the information and stop trying to be creative-wannabe. Consider the users. That’s all.
If you are affiliated to the website or the people who made it, I can actually manage to get you a free web-analysis from dots and lines, we usually give them out on Networking events.
