Bienvenido to your Monday - here's a quick site out of Madrid from The Woork Co. I like the little surprise of the animated gifs in the block design as links to their work. The whole site is very clean and crisp and solid. From the Designer: Madrid based studio design...
Full disclosure - the boys at Krit are friends of ours - they actually sit, um, right there 10 feet away from us in the co-work we run - and they have a lot to offer. We were building our new "agency" site at the same time, so it's been fun to watch each other's work...

Smooth, and seemingly minimal work from the Valio Conference out of San Diego - the site looks great on desktop and mobile, and kind of has a cool parallax effect between speakers. Also love the Instagram-feed looking slide-show - nice touch!
Good full-width agency work from Taikonauten out of Berlin. I like how they make the device images complement the page coloring - and show the devices in different views and states - smart for agency / portfolio work.
Dang - that's a cool website for Aire West Perth - an apartment building sales site out of Australia. Great video background work - and then about everything you would need to get you to come and visit in person. I mean hey - it made me want to go back to Australia...
Nice minimal site from Herdl out of the UK. Minimal because they hit you with headlines on the front page, instead of a lot of words (that your potential client never reads anyway... no... really). There's meat in the Services pages - but the home is simple, but with...
Maybe it's the engaging, parallax images on the home page - maybe it's just Piper Perabo - but I'm really drawn into the Chargefield site (out of Ontario). Crisp work all the way through - very cool. Submitted by: John Godfrey Twitter: @Chargefield Role: Designer &...
Big and bold is the B1G Digital site out of Colombia. I really do love the above the fold imagery - very cool. And not easy to get that iPhone cord to match up to the next section - but good job of keeping the theme running down the page a bit. From the Designer: B1G...
Rich and subtle color palette for Nobletree Coffee out of Brooklyn (looks like it was made by Figureground out of Minnesota). Really like the card design for the coffees - smart way to present the flavor and body notes. From the Designer: Clean, elegant and easy...
We get a lot of agency sites submitted to us - all tricked out, with enough time spent to question whether they do any client work at all. And.. their client work is never up to par with their own site... So - it's great when we get a site like the one for Stikwood,...
Good looking block design portfolio site from Benjamin Walton out of the UK. Great mix of work images on the home page - and cool typography work too. From the Designer: recent university graduate. freelance design & development. Submitted by: benjamin walton Twitter:...
Now this is a great looking magazine from Bulgari out of Italy. There's very little explanation on the site, but it looks like this is a supplementary site for the Bulgari site, that shows the lifestyle of / aspire, of the brand's clientele. It's beautifully done -...
Good looking, minimalist blog site out of Bulgaria for Quotes mag - a project of Next-DC. Great card design, cool flat illustrations for blog post headings, and love the typography. Here's a little more about it: "Quotes Magazine is a collection of conversations with...
This is a great showcase site for Carlo Barberis' jewelry collection, out of Italy. Love how the home page is just a scroll slider, but before you start, the changing of the overlaying patterns already give movement and life to the page. Also think the off-screen...

Beautiful grid based design, you can feel it as you review it. The diagonal lines really drive home the grid and balance your eye movement beautifully. Love this site. From the Designer: I want to submit my new portfolio web site. I work hard to design this new...
Pretty neat approach with the 8th Sphere website. No real images of anything, just line graphics and a dark background with white text. You don't see that often anymore. I dig this approach. I like the main graphic a great deal, the process/machine one. Pretty crafty....
Some real nice interactions worked into the Surfy website. I love how the main navbar isn't visible until you scroll a bit, then sticks. Then you're presented with a stack of work samples with a slight zoom effect when you mouse over each one. Clever and simple, I...
It's not often that I see a submission and think "badass", this is one of those exceptions. I really dig this portfolio site for Patrik Huebner. The grid, the minimal approach layered over with kick ass graphics and then the little details instilled here and there....
Love the movement and design of this site for Mikiya Kobayashi out of Tokyo. Kobayashi's design work is beautiful, and the site really shows all of it off well. I don't always like the double off-screen / hamburger nav, but they only use it for the Projects page here,...
Nice flat areas for the make up of this layout. They have a masonry type effect on them as well as you resize the browser. Clever. I love the way the images are different sizes and stuff as you scroll down too, keeps it feeling dynamic. From the Designer:...
First and foremost this resource is incredible. Brilliant. Secondly it's a great example of material design in practice. Very clear interactions and super easy ways to get into the content and have the site itself disappear well enough to let it all come through. Very...
I really like the texture used in this design, it breaks of what would otherwise feel like pretty big blank spaces of flat design. I also like the illustrations a good deal.
Beautiful website for what I understand is a beautiful event. I love the 'speaker' pictures that slide in as you scroll down the page. The mobile view simply turns this off. A great mix of cool interaction and an almost minimal approach. Beautiful.
New Uber. New Uber Logo. New Uber Website. Woot. I do like it a great deal.The large video/hero area is pretty slick, even if the contents are all perfect scenarios for the riders/drivers. My favorite part is the sections as you scroll down, those are some pretty nice...

Beautiful design & illustration work for Capra Design's website. I love the asymmetrical layout to the main blocks as you scroll down the page too. Just about every detail has been handled with the design of this website, including the client intake process. Smart...
I love minimal design, especially when I see it utilized for a client like this. It's hard to convince them (typically) of the approach. This site is a great example of how it can work well in a real world scenario. Bravo Garrett. From the Designer: Modern and minimal...
Overall good design and some strong graphics make up this website. Some pretty cool load in animations as you make your way down the page. I like the way the main nav situates itself as you scroll past the hero area/image too.
