Well done. Some day I would like to do this too. Good luck with your site.

Yes, it is a nice concept. But I do not like the fact that your pictures load so slowly.

Perhaps you can compromise them a little?

fionaba · 20th February 2006, 21:06

Depends on what connection speed you are catering for. With 2mbs broadband, the site loads quickly. This is a general problem with web pages is you need to remember there are still people with dial up modems out there

Perhaps a Hi-Res / Lo-res option for people to choose ?

I have a website that I have built over the last year, and when I have some Carrara work worth displaying I will add the link to my sig

Well, in my opinion all website should try to compress their pictures. I have a fast connection too (2mbit) but I think that one picture (online) should not have more than (max) 200kb! Otherwise people with slower connections would have problems. Another reason is, that it causes much more traffic if the pictures are big.
On this Homepage even the pictures in the gallery don't have more than 200kb or so.
So in my opinion a background image (which everyone has to load and which is important to load fast to create a good look of the site) should have (max) 1/4 of it.
