To be honest, it looks a little like something out of a time warp. I can't really put my finger on why, but, I suspect, the use of icons for navigation, the poor quality of some of the images, the overuse of simple animations and the lack of text all contribute to it. (Oh, and the text helpfully saying 'Click icons
to turn page').

I suspect that the white surrounding the main bit of the site drains it a bit. The flower on the background is kind of nice, but the rest of the background seems irrelevant, or worse, like an image of the website being sucked down the drain. The best bit of the site is the picture of yourself, but even that is suffering from html image scaling.

If you want to stop the background image staying where it is when you scroll, you need to remove "background-attachment: fixed" from the style sheet.
