not to be critical, but your homepage is really slowing my browser down. it's such a charming idea, i hope there's a way to make it work at a lower CPU load.

The navigation button files are 2048x2048 .gif files, while on the website they are 130x130. Exporting them in 130x130 will both stop the browser from spending power shrinking them and majorly speed up the loading time.
Also large gifs load CPUs, so if i were you i'd probably just make them into indexed 8-bit .png's - those take the least space while supporting transparency and looking crisp. But even 130x130 gifs will be major improvement over 2048x2048 gifs. Pretty page, btw
i never thought to have a look under the bonnet, but yeah that'll do it all right. glad to hear the fix will be easy! i love the moving line drawings, they're so cool <3
