There are a couple of ways to address your question regarding navigation links on the main page. One possibility is to use this page as a “first stop” where the viewer gets a visual feel for the site, and enters for the first time. Once inside the site, if you are providing good navigation, there would be no need for them to come back to the first page.

Another alternative would be to add rollover links on this page, but if you are using this as an introductory interface, I think your subtitles beneath each link give a glimpse of what lies beyond.

Visually, I think some of the links are difficult to read. What if you were to adjust the positioning so that all of the link names are over the blue head scarf? And/or reconsider the name of your links? For example, “Fashion Trends” could be “Trends”?
