Why did you make all the text images? They're highly compressed as well, making them blurry. If fonts are a concern, there are a ton of freely available web fonts at http://www.google.com/fonts.

You should also make the remaining images on the page retina resolution since almost 100% of your target market is gonna be on one.

Thanks for your input, you're absolutely right! A responsive Retina-compatible website is already in the works. Be sure to check it out as soon as it launches!
We don't really need Retina-compatible, but merely readable and accessibility-friendly would suffice.
As someone with poor vision, I tend to zoom into sites a lot, and stretched PNGs look really blurry.

Also, screen readers don't work. You've even set an alternative text of "". Why even bother to add it if it's going to be an empty string? It could have just been the text that's shown on the image.

Looks like the page is made with Adobe Muse, which appears to export text as image unless you use Typekit.
