80 Large Background Websites
As the monitor resolution and internet speed is advancing, it seems like more and more designers use over-sized photo or illustrated image as the website’s background. Large background image can create the stunning visual effect, especially for high resolution monitors. It can also add more life to your site design compared to the traditional tiled background graphic. Here is a collection of 80 websites that used large image as the site background (must-see, you won’t be disappointed).

interesting, I made my site one single huge JPG just because I wanted to be able to update it in photoshop without using any code, it kinda works… I think.
A good friend later added the Java Script that allows one to navigate using 1~9 on the number keypad.

Only found this site this evening, great resources!!
Some lovely examples of high production value sites there. It’s good to see users wanting more than just a fixed portal within a set frame.
I’ll definitely be checking this site on a regular basis!!!
