We're a small team of three, so communication is fast and your impact will be immediately visible. We value pragmatism over "perfect" - shipping useful solutions matters more than polishing forever.

Also holy cow the homepage was 50mb and took 12s to load. No offense but that is kind of nuts. Consider lazy loading everything below the fold instead of just ramming 50mb of media through at the same time.
Thanks for pointing out media loading times, half of that bandwidth is related to the video we show on the home page, we plan to optimise a lot of things that were pushed "for later" before upcoming Valentines Day.
