I just added a switch button turn them off :)
Oh my, thank you! I wouldn't last for more than 5 seconds on the page with that background noise animation.
Totally fair, I’ll make the toggle more visible or default it off on first visit. Appreciate the feedback, and thanks for giving it a look even with the chaos!
Default off. It looks like an old myspace profile.
I’m not even old enough to have used MySpace, so that one’s a bit lost on me. Most of the feedback on the homepage vibe has actually been positive, but I hear you
The overall vibe is good.
Animated backgrounds are gaudy though and most people (including me) dislike them in my experience.
They're distracting, increase load time, increase resource use and screen updates, (especially important for battery powered devices like laptops and mobile), and just dont tend to serve a purpose aside from aesthetic sugar that tech savvy users (your target market) in general dont appreciate even when static and minimal.
