This site baked my noodle. At first I just started scrolling down then I realized something weird was going on. The background was doing something weird but I couldn’t quite put my finger on. It took a minute to really grasp what was going on but it’s actually a really simple little css trick where the background of each post is fixed, and it tiles within it’s own container. It’s a bit of a trippy effect, almost so much that it distracts from the content. Once you get beyond that, the site is nice and clean, with good content, mostly about music. Good job, Jarred.
Looking Fast: The Art of Website Speed Perception
In the web world, technical speed and user perception matter. By improving design for a faster appearance, you boost conversions and stand out online. Speed isn’t just loading time; it’s perception.
That is a nice effect, I think it’s more the effect that the site is showing off (the designer’s ability to make something trippy) over the actual content itself.
