CE4 site for review

Please review my CE4 site, an upgrade from the old CE3
http://schnellphoto.com

I think it is very slow loading, both the splash gallery and then the individual galleries themselves. Any suggestions to speed up loading?

I think the new CE4 design is cleaner than the old. The documentation for setting up TTG-BE needs to be improved. I'll probably put my videos on my site rather than go to vimeo at some point.

Re: CE4 site for review

the site loaded rather quickly for me, and I'm on a 1.5 mbps DSL line.

Check out your About page. You've got got some coding problems around that video in the iframe. You're using <center>, which is depreciated in html5 and it looks like the closing </center> tag is inside <code> tags so that it's showing up as text on the page.

Plus you're using a table for that page? You might be better off in using the page copy box for just text and the image and then using phplugins to insert the video in the grid and the ASMP and Chamber links in the canvas_bottom.

Re: CE4 site for review

I would probably favor landscape orientation images for the full-screen gallery on your Home page. The current images will probably look nice on iPhones and portrait-orientation iPads, but in my laptop browser the only thing I see when I arrive is arms and chest. I can't see his head, nor what he's doing on the table until after I zoom out on the image. As I scroll through the other images, I have largely the same problem with each.

Re: CE4 site for review

Is there a setting I can change to allow vertical images to view full frame? Or should I just choose different, horizontal images?
