Our Agency Went "No Code"... Starting with our Own Website

Hey so I read your blog, and this sounds great. Congrats on the redesign. However, after checking out your website, I have a couple of concerns.

Your website is 10mb in size. That is ten times the average page weight, and that for most people is very slow. I understand there are a lot of moving parts on the page and whatnot, but I think 10mb is excessively large.
It's kinda slow. Even with the scroll-jacking, the page jitters when loading larger elements, which makes it hard to scroll quickly through the site. And this is your landing page, which the whole point is to make a prospective customer want to hire you for your expertise. Which ties into my next point...
You don't have a lot of info on your previous work. On the landing page, there is a banner with a bunch of names on it (are they people you've worked with? if so, maybe say that somewhere. There are a lot of big names, and it would do a lot to bring credance to your studio.) Then, you have pictures of a lot of different products (again, no idea if they're just designs, or actual client work. Maybe showcase similar client work, so people understand how you changed what they did?). There's not a whole lot showing how you can help people, mostly a lot about branding and whatnot.

Clearly you guys are very talented designers. I don't think I could create a landing page as creative as what you guys have made. Even so, I still think it needs to be worked on for the future. Best of luck to you guys

Say something nice to shadowcreativestudio…
