Maybe add a progress meter in addition to the loading icon? Even if the progress is faked, it would help reassure to viewer that it isn't broken.
Even people who are looking for this type of work don't always sit around. A really great client or employer might be going through a list of website, wait on yours for 10 seconds and move on to the next on the list. Just because they appreciate it doesn't mean they will want to sit around for it.
I only say this because the inside of the that frame looks really great...it just takes a ridiculously long time to load.
