Particularly those on dialup, does this take you out of the comfort zone too badly?
I would also appreciate any Mac users comments.
None of the links work btw, I am just trying to finalise the layout.
Thanks.

I get 30 seconds for 56kbps modem according to weboptimisation.com
That's Stu's sliding menu isn't it! Neat.
Can you crop those photos a bit so they're the exact width of the menu - that'll save some time for you.

Thanks both. I was just being lazy with the images, in hopes of getting away with it...ratz.

ditto what spooky says on the images - they could easily be half of that! then it would be ok for dialup...
looks very nice apart from the logos... maybe those are only placeholder versions?
this for example weighs in at a tad over 6k saving you almost a whole kilobyte!!!!

i was a bit unsure about the pictures in the menu - i didn't realise they would expand - but they work quite well, i think ;)

The images on the menu are of a bathroom from various viewpoints, as the silly b* hasn't got any whole room shots - just a bog here and a sink there. I did say ages ago, why don't you do before and after shots to help with visualisation for customers. That's what I got, so I thought that Stu's sliding menu gives a reasonable idea of a whole room.
I should put advice on how to use it maybe?
Thanks for the logo clean up Dave, they were gifs to start with.

btw i'm pretty sure you're using firefox so you are aware of the 'view speed report' under the tools menu of the web developer toolbar?? and also available at
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/
(useful for anyone else reading this thread that doesn't already know...)
though of course it's good to get reports from real users!
:)
>edit< - oops sorry tailslide just spotted you'd mentioned that url as well ;)

It took pretty much 0 seconds to load. I don't think images are a problem it loads fine. But the menu I don't really like..
