non-effect
I will not to add an hover effect on images because it is not user-friendly for touch devices…
Image size problem
[Letting the Browser Scale Images is a Bad Idea]
The images are 330 x 345 pixels in true size, but when viewed on an iPhone, they are only ever seen at approximately 150 x 157 pixels.

One of the solution: Using Adaptive Images.
You need to:
Add .htaccess and adaptive-images.php to your root folder. Create a writable directory called ai-cache. Add one line of JavaScript into the <head> of your site.
