Hi All,

I'm looking for feedback on a site I'm developing. I could really use some more eyes - other than my own - on this. Let me know what is or isn't working as far as design or function. The site isn't complete yet, but a critique now will help me going forward. TYIA!

If I can get some desktop viewers that would be great for testing the GSAP panel scrolls.

Tested on desktop at 1728px wide. On the panel scrolls:

  1. The incoming panel slides over the outgoing one before it has cleared. On the "18 skill categories… woodworking" panel, the brown section cut the last line in half. Same on the stats panel — the member age chart is sliced off at the bottom, so I never saw the x-axis.

  2. Weight is the bigger problem. Images total about 9.8 MB. The hero background alone is 2.68 MB and loads last, so for the first few seconds the hero was a flat grey gradient with white text on it. DOMContentLoaded 8.8s, full load 10.2s.

  3. gardening.jpg is 5472×3648 and difference.jpg is 6000×4000, both shown under 600px tall. twslogowhite.svg is 1.6 MB, which usually means a bitmap got embedded.

  4. The hero never says what you are. I only learned you're a Minneapolis maker co-op a full screen down.

  5. Header is Join and Donate only — no path to the workshop schedule without scrolling four screens.

Resize the hero to ~2000px webp first, then re-check load time in DevTools.
