Call to Action! Call to Action! Call to Action!
Echoing what has already been said, your goal is to get them to give you their info so you can make the sale, or to get them to order online.
Also while I totally love Vimeo, you need your videos to autostart. If Vimeo can't do that, get them hosted elsewhere so that you can. The motion is what will draw people in.
And kill the splash screen. It's very 1998 and annoying.
I suspect you did it for SEO, but you need to work on your content. The better SEO help is adding more content to site with multiple pages. Give me a page about the Jellyfish. About your aquariums. About the history of jellyfish as art. About jellyfish mating. Etc etc. Don't spam the site up, have logical navigation, but the more content on a site, the heavier it is weighted and you're going to be going against scientific sites for terms like jellyfish. So you're fighting an up hill battle when it comes to SEO.
