Website with big header (or stage) image is getting more and more popular. I love them, because it usually help the user to experience the design/branding by pulling down the atmosphere. Impact, vibrant and rich are the keywords. But there’s a big sacrifice: slower loading time.
They usually dominating the header, go 100% full width in browser, hugging the content. And, combined with slider effect. Here’s some sample:
