HTML5 Portfolio Critique

[ChicoWeb]

Hey all-

I've been trying to sneak in time for us to design a new portfolio website for years now and we finally where able to fit it in. It's in HTML5, CSS3, and uses the TypeKit API for some nice typography. All and all, I'm pretty stoked on it and was looking for any feedback, positive or negative.

They should be like this:

Good catch, thanks.

Lookin' good!

It is a little confusing when you click on Portfolio and then Logo Design, the coverflow screen captures stay the same. It took me a few clicks to realize the link was working, but I didn't notice the images "below the fold" changing.

Good call. I have a list of after go-live things we're working on and featured logo and print is one of them. I guess that's one downfall of a designer on a 30 inch display

Looks professional (nice).

What I think could improve:

- In HOME; the fading animation looks a little jerky (blurred). Maybe increasing the speed?
- In OUR WORK; having to wait (spinning logo) for image to appear. Can you force to render everything at the same time to avoid this?

What kind of connection do you have?

What kind of connection do you have?

3.2 mbps.

The spinning logo (like your avatar) is shown when I move from one slide to another. I thought the normal would be to buffer those images before it slides (not showing the spinning-wait logo).

Something similar to the Pixy method:
