Der Keim

I love the off balance feeling of this layout. The header area is very light visually then below is a heavy image and colorful work section. This immediately draws my attention where it needs to go. Solid looking work too. From the Designer: Clean and colorful...

PhoneGap Day

PhoneGap Day

Really solid yet simple conference website layout. I really like the big header area with the mobile device illustrations that scroll through/over the PG logo. Then I notice that the entire page scrolls over the logo. Neato! There's clearly some love and care put into...

Mammut – Project 360

Mammut – Project 360

Whoa - just when you think you did well with your video background, then you see the Project360 site from Mammut. Then... the 360 image work all the way up the different mountain routes and the interactive work - incredibly nice.

Uber

Uber

Well - we already love the design of the Uber app - so it goes to say that their website is just as well designed. Love the sleekness of the whole site - and UX-wise, very easy to get around and get what you need.

GID

GID

Pretty cool background going on for the GID website. I also really like the interactions on the project images too. There's definitely a non-standard approach to the design of this site and it's what makes it memorable to me.

I Love Creatives

I Love Creatives

I'm not sure about the service but the design is pretty legit. I like that it's largely text based in the layout and there are some nifty design details as a result. The slight parallax on the text and image is quite nice and well placed. I also really dig the...

You Tube 10

You Tube 10

Apparently, I am a You Tube expert... I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not - but you can test yourself to see if you are via YouTube's 10th anniversary. Love the canvas work they did - and it's just fun. Enjoy!

VO2 Group

VO2 Group

This website for the VO2 Group is pretty powerful in it's imagery and overall interactions. It harkens me back to the days of flash sites pretty hardcore, but I still love it. The interplay from the home page to the longer scrolling project pages are pretty cool. It...

Hawk & Hen

Hawk & Hen

Pretty cool website for this restaurant. I dig the name and branding too. Pretty straight forward but very openly usable by people. Love it.

Gather Table Co.

Gather Table Co.

Beautiful website for the Gather Table Company here. I love the typography and basic layout details. The soft colors really match well with the sharp lines of the images and boxes used for the layout.

SkiBoutique

SkiBoutique

Today where I am - it is finally cold - after it was 75°F on Christmas Day... so I'm ready for snow - and skiing / snowboarding - so was it a sign that the Ski Boutique peeps out of Switzerland submitted their site? Maybe. Good clean travel site that is easy to...

David Tutera Maternity

David Tutera Maternity

Not our normal type of website to review - but good example of a good WooCommerce built site, for a bigger name in fashion / celebrityship. The home page is well done, well organized. Would like to see more in the shopping area - it is clean, but would like to see...

David Taylor Design

David Taylor Design

I like digital marketing companies that can have a fun time with their own site - David Taylor Design out of New Jersey looks like that. The core of the site is solid (like the section under the Our Services - left/right copy/images - as is the portfolio area - and...

Golden Thread Tarot

Golden Thread Tarot

This is a cool app product page for Golden Threat Tarot by Tina Gong out of New York. Fun use of animated gifs with flat illustration to show the different views of the app. Since we've made tarot cards for one of our conferences a few years back, we know a lot of...

Junko’s Story

Junko’s Story

Love this one-pager by SBS out of Australia about Junko Morimoto, a Hiroshima atomic bomb survivor. Great mix of illustrations and real, with slight interactions to learn more on the side stories. And just an interesting design altogether.

Bryant Hughes

Bryant Hughes

Really brilliant layout for Bryant Hughes blog. It's subtle and easy to get into. I love the subtle animation/movie of the birds in the background. Plus it's all it needs to be and no more. Superbly done sir.

sublime.fyi

sublime.fyi

Pretty cool interview website here sublime.fyi. I really dig the layout, it's pretty easy to scroll and see stuff and on the desktop there's a nifty parallax like effect on each section that makes you look at it deeper. Solid design here.

BEOPLAY

BEOPLAY

This is a great page (and site) from BEOPLAY - beautiful products on a beautiful site. The video and audio, and the way it interacts with scrolling is pretty special.

Maaemo

Maaemo

Love the background video for Maaemo out of Norway - great intro. This site is for a restaurant, so also like that they don't let you miss that point - booking a table is a must for this place. The rest of the site has great photography on a simple background - very...

Colonel Sanders

Colonel Sanders

Aside from being just extremely weird, this is a pretty fun delivery for the content. It has one aim, to better the KFC brand, It's funny i'll give 'em that.

Elite Model Paris

Elite Model Paris

Classic beauty, with great utility is the look Elite Model in France is going for - it's a beholder thing obviously, but I like it. Love the A/B navigation using the content to get the info you want: Male / Female - pick one - Mainboard / Development (I'm assuming the...

UX Pin – Knowledge

UX Pin – Knowledge

So I was doing a little reading this weekend, and I stumbled back on to UXPin. They have an e-book of "The Best Web Designs of 2015-2016" which is excellent work. We're actually going to use some of their suggested sites in the future, since between all the...

McFadden/Gavender

McFadden/Gavender

We really like this one from McFadden Gavender out of Tucson because of the awesome video background off what looks to be a elevated train (where though?) - and the good use of muted image / color backgrounds too on the home page. Great first step into their world....

Founder Mantras

Founder Mantras

As a founder of seven companies over the years - I can say that something like the site Founder Mantras is good, quick inspiration in a pinch. Love the simple design - just load up the content - and let it go - nice.

We Doki Doki

We Doki Doki

Cool site as a build up to a book release later this year, for The Sound of Silence - and the site I think is called We Doki Doki. See more from the designer here: From the Designer: We Doki Doki explores a new Japanese onomatopoeic sound each month and is the...

UI Viking

This. Site. From top to bottom I love. It's a great exercise in branding and keeping your message through every single detail. It's also super well done and beautiful. Also, I like Vikings. Seriously, go spend time on the site and enjoy the details. From the Designer:...

24Ever

24Ever

I have to admit that when Jeff Gordon came into the sport of NASCAR, I wasn't a big fan (I was an Earnhardt fan) - but I've grown to like Wonder Boy and the Rainbow Warriors over the years. This tribute site to his 24+ year career is pretty sweet - love the use of the...
