Funny – we’ve been re-thinking the black background on our own website (www.mikeroweworks.com) because we’d all decided we hate it but then I went to your site and the black is really effective! I think it’s because of all that wonderful color. The one thing I would do is increase the size of the font of the welcome message on your home page though. I almost completely missed it. I’ll continue to snoop around though. Good luck!
