What a great re-launch of one of the companies I’ve watched for several years help lead our industry. The new Clearleft site is a thing of beauty. It’s simplified yet not too much, it has some complex(ish) interactions with the slideshow and detailed links in it, but not too much. The layout is balanced and drives your eye around like it feels like it should. Each sub page has been given the love it deserves as well as each line of copy. It reads with enthusiasm about their craft and draws you in. I feel like it speaks to both me as a web designer and the general public at the same time – which is a hard balance to achieve. Bravo Clearleft!
