It wont cause any indexing problems but it will cause ranking problems for your site. I would focus on which ever side of the site is going to be more useful to visitors. For which ever on isn't as useful i would get a second URL and forward it to that section of your site. use that URL on all promotional material for that section of the site. Like business cards and brochures. If you are not going to be focusing on keywords other than your name you will have no trouble ranking the splash screen page with the 2 links. If you want to target something more broad you will have issues. If you could give some more information about the site and what you are hoping to accomplish i could help you out better. Breaking one site up into 2 different sections like that is usually not the best way to go. I am guessing so big wig deciding that's the way it should be. You should take a look at your information and decide how to place it on the site so it is most useful to visitors. Visitors are not interested in how your business is setup internally - they want to find the infromation they cam for as quickly as possible.

Depending on the client and how they are contacting me i sometimes send out a form for them to fill out. I generally do that if i have no way of contacting the client other than email.

Design is not as important as marketing and content. If you have a fixed budget or no budget i would focus on content and marketing because having a site will do nothing unless people come to it. Content is King on the internet that is what it was designed for and what it is used for. It wasn't Designed to look pretty. although making it look pretty can make your site look more professional and trustworthy. BUt you need to decide what is most important to you and which will help you accomplish your goals. I hope this gives you a base to start your own web site.
