I just started a new trout Fishing Guide Service.
I have a site to promote it.
These are some of the comments I have gotten:
too slow to load
too many photos
people want immediate gratification
love your photos
i go back each week to see the new photos
can't wait to see March 06 opener photos
you are losing business by slow load
If you can afford a trout fish guide.....you can afford a fast/new computer.
Input please?

It took the page a bit of time to download through DSL. What format are the pictures? That may have something to do with the speed.

I wasn't talking about the size but the format. .jpg, from what I've been told, is a compressed format which should load quicker than .tiff or .bmp formats.

Some things I would do is to try and optimize the pictures (lower the file size) and that would make things load alot faster. Another suggestion is to make the hompage more compact. Try changing the format so that you dont have to scroll down forever.
Other wise looks pretty good.

Hello Spinner,
Good looking site but load time will be a factor on slower connections. Try:
