Recent redesign of Chris Coyier’s website css-tricks.com is a top-notch rework of an already classic website. There’s really a lot going on with this design, while being majorly simplified from the previous iteration. From the slightly responsive/liquid design to the interactions this website really is a well oiled piece of work.
I really like the design being centered around a simple two column layout and really featuring the blog posts like it does. There’s a pretty vibrant community around css-tricks.com, so putting that first and foremost is a strong move to simplify. I love it!
