At work I've successfully taught a graphics designer and video editor to use Middleman. We use Github as the CMS(with markdown). They can pull down site with Github application and click a .command file to run it(for more involved changes). When they push it back up, it automatically builds. Just needs one click from there to go live.
Sorry for the little rant. The site does look promising but I can't get the other pages to load.
It's a tool in a toolbox, the individual reaches in and pulls out the tool that works best for the given situation based on their own personal reasons.
Seems to do the same on the secondary pages as well.
Your first paint is coming it at around 1.8s. You could probably get that under the 1s mark just by consolidating your resources. This is even more important when dealing with a library like Angular.
Seriously, please drop the animation, it completely detracts from might be a useful site, but the carousel genuinely gives me a headache.
the problem is this site has no caching going on at all... to the site owner: do us all a favor, and install some popular caching plugin for wordpress...
As others have said, it's too slow to be of any use. Also, I agree that the animations on the front page are terrible and need to go.
