Mansour (or forum brains),

What dimensions did you use for the background pic? 72 dpi I suppose? Did you find that it added a lot of load time? Can you add copy or pictures on top of this responsive background? I usially use HTML Editor (converted from dreamweaver) and not super familiar with it yet but seems like you could do the same things that you are doing.

Image has been downloaded from http://www.gratisography.com/ as I have mentioned in demo .
After download any image from mentioned above link you have to optimize the image for web as images are high resolution.

Yes it can be added as background.

Thanks

I saw that on the demo but what dimensions do you use for a background - specifically the width - 1500 px 1800 px? What do you find sorks best.

Is there a tutorial for making it a background with responsive elements on top of it? Do you set up a container with bkg image then construct rows and columns on top of it?

Thanks in advance
