Hi steijn,

It loads very slow on my iPad, so I could not see all of it. It seems to me that the site is not centered.

Steijn,

Great job! I love how you showcase the imagery and use opacity very well throughout the site. The website is simple and very direct, without an overload of information.

There are a few things that you could work on, which Wimdg brought up:

  1. It doesn’t center properly. This is because you have the page set to be 960px wide, but are only using about 700px of it. In Freeway, set the page to be the same width as your content.

  2. Optimize! The images that you are using for the backgrounds can be losslessly optimized. By processing one of the pictures using both ImageOptim and JPEGmini Lite, I shrunk it from 536kb to 265kb. That is a huge savings, and will result is much shorter load times.

Beautiful site!

Hello Steijn,

looks neat … the project-page where the button ‘watch trailer’ which is linking to is being opened in a new window, while the menu items are opened in the same window.

Last weekend you’ve tested Walter’s video background action on the frontpage, which actually was pretty cool. Why did you skip that on the final site?

Love it! Looks wonderful on my Macbook Pro. Haven’t tried it on the iPad.
