La cuestion:

y multipliquenlo por CUATRO O CINCO.....

para que esforzarse de esa manera, con algo tan, PERO TAN, TAN, SIMPLE....y aburrido como un header animado (que considerando ya tener los recursos [graficos, textos, idea], se puede animar en la linea de tiempo en unas horas, y si consideramos preloaders, etc..en un dia)...con que objeto????

que opinan.

PD: entiendo la optimizacion, reducir el peso al archivo, etc, etc...pero eso es una cosa, esto realmente parece obsesivo para qu todo quede a codigo...
