This is really a prototype of the site, created completely with Xara Xtreme Pro 4. Kudos here to Xara's quick WYSIWIG interface when it comes to building basic websites: Fusion Dance Centre.

I noticed the following about the site:
1. Loading times for every page is noticeably slow. Is this due to inefficient elements on each page? How could I speed up the page loading if I redo it in Xara? What about redoing it via other software?
2. The menu is slow to respond. (I used mouseOver and mouseDown techniques.) Again, can the speed be improved by redoing anything in Xara? Like grouping or combining objects perhaps?
3. Any other Xara tips for creating speedier websites?
4. Any other comments for improvement would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks all for your help.
