It looks nice, but maybe it doesn't load fast enough.
"Para información de click aquí" should be "Para información de contacto click aquí" I guess.

Very good site design. Loaded in 1 second for me.
I say maybe try to make the content in the pop up box more appealing/easier to read.

is there any reason to cut the image up and load about 10 different images instead of one? seeing as how they just form one image, and serve no purpose, afaik, it's sorta reduntant... i think that it would load faster if it was one image, as i've seen it piece the image together... :-/

Yea the first time I opened the browser it loaded pretty much instantly, then I closed it and went back to check something and it took longer. Using a single image seems better to me as well.

would make it easier, just to set the image as the background, then float a div in the center

Well, thanks for all the tips. I cuted the image in 8 pieces because i was thinking about te people that have not a high speed connection. For that people is not the same to load a 2 Mb image than 8 images pieces of some kb.
My theory is that if the set of images are little should load faster.

What do you think about that theory?.

In the other hand, I think than Salvatos is right I'´m going to change the Contact Text.

In a short time I'm going to upload the real page. I'm interesting about all the post.

Thank...

meh, i think that theory is kinda bad, because the people with dial up only have one connection, and to load up 8 different images will take longer, as by cutting the image, you are not reducing the image size.

if you are truely concerned about speed for dial-up users, you should consider lowering the quality to the point where you can just begin to notice a significant difference, then up one ;)

for instance... instead of saving the png as a 9, think about lowering it to reduce the overall file size, but maintaining the quality.


also, having the image in tables will increase the overall size of the file, and it will piece it together, starting from the top, so if they've got dialup, it would shift halfway through the page...
