The key here is to overlap your animation so you don’t notice the loop point. For example, say you want a 10sec animation loop. Design a 12 sec animation and precompose it. Duplicate the precomp and offset it on the timeline by 10 secs, with opacity fading up over 2 secs on the second layer. Don’t render the first 2 secs of the comp, just the final 10 secs.
Just a note – the site you linked to took almost 2 minutes to load the first page on a quite decent broadband connection. If I were an average customer, I would have got bored and moved on before the page finished loading. It looks nice, but you either need to reduce the content size or find a faster web server.
