I dislike 'em, but survive if it is limited to the frontpage. 
Meaning: I desperately look for a sensible link in the visual 
mess of non-information. I also get the idea that they probably 
don't really have anything to offer and hired an ad company with 
an incompetent web designer to do it who arrived at the design by 
buying a premade page from some other's company's catalogue, then 
replaced the photos and charged a fortune for it... OR worse: 
that they are using a PHP-based CMS. Then I start to feel sorry 
for them and put all my skepticism aside for the benefit of the 
doubt and hope that I at least find a sensible pdf-file in there 
somewhere.
