At long last, I'm working on getting my own website up, to start doing freelance work. I don't want to put my site up for critique in the website review forum, because there's still a lot of work to be done before I would call it "done."
I'm trying to get past "simple/unfinished" designs, is this a step in the right direction? If the image background is too much, I'll change the design to work better with just a dark background.
Also, the background is loaded with jquery - I wrote a script that waits until the content of the page loads, then the background is loaded and is 'gracefully' faded in. From what I understand, it's put into the browser cache by loading it this way, so it should only cause a delay the first time the image is loaded.
Let me know what you think!
Edit: Also, I'll point out that this uses CSS3 for opacity and rounded corners, I'll make it older-browser friendly once the design is finished.
