First impressions count, I'll give it some kind of CSS background underneath
for while the images are still loading, something I missed working off a
local copy.

Pick some colours, any colours - its 2 lines in the CSS file.

A separate developers directory is good (doing that now), but do they need a
specific warning page? Couldn't there just be a very clear link saying
"return to the normal web" on the first page of the developers stuff.

That's Mozilla's fault, I've got round it with scrolling background instead
of fixed, Mozilla goes half way with each when set to fixed, giving random
artefacts.
I am also modifying the image to go down further, and putting a follow on
colour below that, so it should be fine on huge monitors.
