Furthermore, it loads a bunch of multi-megabyte png's that it doesn't even display, adding up to a page load of 17 Mb. I wouldn't be surprised if it loads these images on mobile too, but I can't be bothered to check.
I'm continuously baffled by how many of these agencies/studios have incredibly shitty websites.

It does. 5+ second load time over 4G before first render and even then it took a few more seconds to fully load...
On (desktop) Safari hovering over a few sections causes the site to just randomly scroll to another section (e.g. Hovering any of the first 2 links of "Get in touch" goes a section back and the third one goes to the last hero section").
In mobile Safari (latest version) the website stops functioning after the first scroll until the end, the hero is the only thing that is viewable.
Lastly, the infinite scrolling loop doesn't work backwards (i.e. scrolling up) which gets a bit confusing.
There's something extremely fundamental in scrolling, it gets embedded in the user's cognition. I wonder what we need to do to raise awareness in finally stopping to meddle with it.
