300 Entertainment

Pretty cool experience with the content of this site. It took me a bit to figure out what this website/company is about, but when you do it's cool. Make sure you watch the video - and see the "live" news feed at the bottom of the home page - about page is cool too.

Nice simple site to tell us what Samantha does. Love it. I really dig that logo type of her name. Super badass. Then the geographic photos worked into the layout help tell the story of where she lives and stuff. Smart work.

I like the imposed high quality feel to this design. From the photography to the tight typography it has a great vibe. I especially like the languages section/design thing. Smart.

Reynolds Digital

Nifty and simple page layout for the Reynolds Digital website. I like the portfolio pieces' hover state, how it slides down with a description and linkage. Submitted by: Mollie Potter "Reynolds Digital is a web design agency located in the Heart of London's Tech City....

Clean looking layout for JinnyBoyTV's website. It has the basics covered with being Responsive and utilizing some common design patterns for smaller targeted screen widths too. Decent stuff! Submitted by: Chong Ching Twitter: @chongchingOoi Role: Designer / Developer

Oscar Barber has a good clean portfolio site. Sometimes that's just perfect - forget the bells and whistles and just make something good - Oscar did. Submitted by: Oscar Barber Twitter: @oscarbarber Role: Designer / Developer "Hi, this is my new site designed after 5...

I'm on a small movie set right now with my jugged coffee from the caterer, in a styrofoam cup, with some International Delight French Vanilla creamers in it... and then I look at this site -  I am envious, and want to be in Manchester, UK right now. The site is very...

Ingen

Ingen

Very clean design on the home page - content pages are clean too, but a bunch of text (which may make sense for this type of client). I like the approach of making the site ready for mobile by going ahead and making the hamburger menu the main nav. Below, the designer...

Activate Design

Activate Design

Like the use of the gray and green to be a canvas for the portfolio area. And like the Matrix pattern behind their server tech. Do wish that it was responsive - think they could do some cool things with that based on their current layout, and could help with SEO. Also...

Terre Di Atanor

Terre Di Atanor

I really like websites that deal with architecture or furniture design. It always feels like the web designer tries to emote the things the company designs within the website design itself. I like how the products and designers are changed out with Masonry - but still...

Eugenics Archives

Eugenics Archives

This is a fascinating site for two reasons. The first is the amount of work that went into each section of interactivity (re: every page is wholly different from the rest of the pages). The second part is of the information itself. The about page info is a little hard...

Pixel Studio 32

Pixel Studio 32

This review is taking a while to write... since I've been playing with their site for  half an hour... and then I showed it to my son, and my computer was commandeered for another fifteen minutes.. The entire site has a huge amount of time and effort put into it. The...

Microsoft Band

Microsoft Band

My first thought after going through this site was, "me want." Which should be the point of a site like this. Then I remembered that I'm looking at the site for a different reason... so... basically, I had a good time on the the site - good and timely use of...

United Strands

United Strands

I made my first website in 1996 - it was a shopping site for a crappy private label golf company - it was probably the worst website ever created - but I got to learn HTML, while someone paid me a whole 250 monies. My point... so I really enjoy seeing how far...

Michal Weigel

Some good work from Michal Weigel. Two main things I like is the texture he puts into the site, and then the non-rectangularness of the site.   Submitted by: Michal Weigel Role: Designer

Map of Lubinus

Map of Lubinus

This is a fun one to end the week with. As you'll see below from the person who submitted this site, the map is based off of the Google Maps Engine, which I don't think I would have caught if they didn't mention it (make sure you scroll out).   i want to share...

This is an awesome software development firm's website. It is clean, concise, and modern. The meet us page is particularly cool, and gives people the opportunity to get to know their team in a creative way!   Submitted by: Abigale James Role: Sales...

Good portfolio site from Duda Caletti out of Brazil. Like the flat illustrations throughout. I don't think the links are working to her work / jobs, so would like to see them to see her work. Submitted by: Duda Caletti Role: Designer & Developer...

Auxiliary Design Co.

Auxiliary Design Co.

This is the website for Brooklyn-based Auxiliary Design Company. It uses lots of subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) interactions that give it a unique feel. It's a responsive site that actually all lives on a single page, although it definitely doesn't feel that way...

Almost Complete

Almost Complete

Really cool and (for me) fast loading site. I had to go back and read the description (below) about what it's used for - but cool way to present music / videos for this record label. Like how the videos and the site seem to mesh well too.   Responsive site for...

Daniel Snows

What the freak>?! If you're going to do a portfolio site - make it different. Daniel Snows has accomplished that. I wanted to take a screenshot of the entire site... but you'll just have to have fun for your self!

CrazyDesignsUK

CrazyDesignsUK

It's a simple website but it has tons of personality, just by the photo and portfolio images. It looks well curated. I do also like the way the big portrait photo gets folded out to the right as you minimize the screen to the smaller widths. Very well thought out site...

Vesper Hotel

Vesper Hotel

I really like the way the "departure" and "arrival" search is placed. It's front and center, very good UI. I also dig the way the images reveal as you scroll down, normally I don't like that kind of treatment too much but it works well here to me for some reason....

Google Inbox

Pretty cool page for Google Inbox. I dig the intro animation that smooths into the main page layout. Interesting approach to the page navigation, working mostly like a slideshow but scrolling down instead of left to right. Not exactly responsive all the way, maybe...

Haigh And Hastings

Haigh And Hastings

Very different vibe than what i'm used to seeing with the Haigh And Hastings website layout. I really like how the overall layout changes for the different screen widths. There's some dramatic layout changes - check it out.

The New Black

The New Black

I love the design for The New Black a lot. It's traditional in the way it uses the horizontal header bar, but very much not so in the way it's blocked out and uses interaction to get you involved in mousing around the page. Awesome stuff, done simply. Get's me every...

Push511

Push511

Nicely designed gym website for Push511 - most of the time websites in this category are just awful. This one however is one of nicest i've seen across many categories. Great work on almost all of the elements that make up a top-notch site here.
