I like your ideas for layout, but have a couple comments on things I think would improve it:
For the image flipper, I wouldn't fade the white background - just fade the controls and center image. I find it a little distracting because you have a very detailed background image.
If possible, I would update your logo to have a grey or transparent background instead of the yellow. It seems to stick out a bit.
I like your search box, but (at least in Firefox) the corners are yellow instead of being transparent.
If you zoom into the page then your social media icons start moving towards the right side of the screen and eventually completely cover the search box.
I would update your slider controls to have the icon in the center of the box when they pop out.
Your #1 issue is speed. I have typed all of this after waiting 20 seconds and still no pictures.
Edit: I just did a Page Speed score and you scored 3/100. That's pretty damn bad dude. To me 90+ is a must. A site cannot weigh more than downloading a 3 minute song off iTunes.
@Crebant im really confused about the yellow background of the logo.. as far as im concerned, i have not used yellow anywhere in this layout lol so im left really confused.. maybe it looks like that in a diff browser im not sure.. ive only really checked it in firefox and i.e...
The image flipper... I tried many diff ways regarding the fading and I found this way to be most effective but appreciate your opinion..
@warnew Thank you.. and yea im really confused about the 'yellow background'.. think I might need to look into it.
@OniLinkCR It seems to be loading fine for me, ive also asked a few mates to try it out and they said it seems to load fine but I will deffo look into it..
Thanks to everyone for their feedback, appreciate it alot.
Once it loads it will load fine and reasonably, I am guessing it's due to some caching of the assets. Or it might be because of your friends connection, it could be a very good broadband connection but not everybody has it.
Get Google Page Speed Extension, you will see the score for that particular site, like I said, its 3 out of 100.
Try this link to get a full asset size report. The culprit are the huge images you are allowing HTML to resize. This is a no-no. Your site weighs around 5 megs, way too much, get it down to 0.5 megs.

Thank you.
Hope this helps and great work!
also, when fading, you could close the info popup
in ff 3.6 and ubuntu i cannot see the yellow corners nor the yellow bg of the logo
