the latter "a pretty page with links to the various destinations" like the blog, their consultancy, their about, their work... So you believe that a splash page in that context is fine (and I agree)? Two of the forward thinking designers there argued that unless the person is a pretty big deal that a splash page would be a barrier and it would be better to have people land on the blog and design a better way to link to the other info. Thanks for the reply.

In the context you described I don't think there is anything wrong with that kind of splash page. I could probably go either way if the various links to other parts were clear and straightforward. I think the main thing would be to try and determine why people are visiting the site. If it's pretty varied the splash may be more useful than if most people are coming primarily for the blog.
