Their site http://thislooksfun.com/ is currently unimpressive. It's noticeably slow on my broadband connection. Why? Huge background images changing on a relatively quick timer (sizes as large as 4.5mb, 7.56mb).

It's just an email gathering page, but a few minutes spent in an image editing program would give a much better first impression.

You dont need an image editing program, just imagemagick:

The images need cropping/resizing, but yes, imagemagick could do it.

Might just be my device, but the site crashed my iPhone twice just trying to load.
