Landing Pages
One thing I forgot to mention is the use of a landing page! That will REALLY speed up your loading time! Not to mention it will make your site stand out and set focus on what it is you want your readers to pay attention to!
Here is a sample I created for Visual Persuasion (a corporate training company specializing in specific Adobe products) for a new class they are offering. The "blur" you see in the Register Now button is really an animated "glow". To view it live, click here. They are working on placing it into their website layout.
This is one example of a landing page.
