Can you explain a little better then that Matt?;)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

The background I created in Photoshop is size 1800 x 2500, I'm not sure if thats the standard size in backgrounds for websites, but it looks like my background picture has been "zoomed" in.

I'll upload a picture of the background now ..

That size of background is kind of counter productive when designing with mobile websites in mind. I would suggest finding a smaller pattern that you can repeat to give a similar effect. Check your css ... what do you have the body background set too?

Try this


body
{
background-image:url("background/bg-1-index.jpg") no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
}

You could also use JQuery plugin called Backstetch.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Hey guys, thanks for the responses!

The first option didn't work, at background 100% it still shows fuzzy..

Eric, have you seen these websites that have gif images on them? I want that similar effect, is there a jquery plugin that I could use for that? It's like a slideshow in the background.. I don't think wowslider is capable of keeping it together..

No problem. I would still consider going to a pattern you can repeat. You Web site takes a few seconds to load on my android. I suspect that's because of the size of the image I have to download.
