Really great editorial website layout. I love how the text flows between the images and the white space - and really love the rest of the text work on the other pages - it's not totally bound to a grid.

FLA

FLA

Pretty straight forward layout for this Law Firm in Italy. I dig the responsive design decisions made though, go ahead resize it and see what's what.

Studio Veldwerk

Studio Veldwerk

Really simple layout, it's like one project at a time to check out then only 2 other simple nav items. I love this approach. I don't like the bottom "read more" link, I'd like it to be more obvious across all images used for this section. That said, the simplicity...

Mason

Mason

Really cool minimal approach to the interior design studio Mason's website. I dig that you basically only check out some images then there's the hamburger menu, because they take you to some good sample pages of the company's work. Simple flow of info.

The Loppist

The Loppist

The Loppist is a great example of a website with a "mega" drop-down navigation design. I really like this and how it shows more info before you drill down into the site. It'll help that pogo-sticking thing that people get into on a product site.

kikk Festival

kikk Festival

We've created our fair share of event websites here at UMS, and this is one that I instantly fell in love with. I love all the interactions and detail work. It's chock full of fun discoveries as a visitor as I move around the site, play around with it and you'll see...

Young & Norgate

Young & Norgate

I love minimal and clean design. This site pushes it to the limit. It's doing everything right on that side of the house. I do think it falls short a little with the nav items being set in white text, they can get lost based on the background images. However overall...

Form

Form

Beautiful minimal products deserve a website that matches. The Form website doesn't fall short. A simple and elegant grid layout mixed with some simple type and photo direction make for a really great product website.

Spendee

Spendee

Good, clean site from Spendee - a product page for a finance app. Good movement on the on-scroll / scroll-jacking actions - and especially like the hamburger menu that opens up simple horizontal nav on the header - it's actually different than everyone that uses a...

The Hugo

The Hugo

Pretty clever use of the background image. I really like how it's used as the hero area image, then you scroll down and the rest of the site kind of slides up. I like the register button and how it works too. Pretty cool 80's inspired colors too.

On The Grid

On The Grid

Pretty cool layout. I like the fixed side bar nav and the illustrations that train your eye on each neighborhood section. Which are all designed quite well using a card style design approach. Check out an example of that here.

Colt

Colt

This site design hits all the "now" standard things design and interaction wise. But sometimes you get it just right, I love the smooth feeling vibe to this site and the imagery is quite nice. The way the case study images load as you scroll for the first time down...

Nineteen Studio

Nineteen Studio

I like the overall vibe of this site design. The black and white setup is nice and gives it a sense of class. The photos are pretty rad too. Smooth experience as well as you make your way down the page(s). Submitted by: Swann Mayor Twitter: @swann_nineteen Role:...

Oxen Made

Oxen Made

Cool, image heavy site. I really like the hero image style video and then how the navigation comes up under that as you scroll and then sticks as the header. The remainder of the page is nicely organized and continues with the great imagery. From the Designer: Oxen is...

Rytter & Rytter

Rytter & Rytter

Pretty clever single page layout for Rytter & Rytter. I like the way the sections are laid out as you scroll down, the flow feels nice. My favorite section is the pictures of their work, the way they're cataloged and displayed is just clever.

CapRadio Raffle

CapRadio Raffle

Nice work with this heavy grid layout, lots of sections of content to get on the page. Sometimes, boy do I know, it's hard to work with all sorts of content that a client might give you and this design just screams this to me. I really like how it's all balanced and...

Think with Google

Think with Google

What a beautiful yet simple layout for Think with Google. I love this, material design in play as well here. Well balanced sections and plenty of space between elements make this easy to scan, read and remember.

Justin Bartlett

Justin Bartlett

Pretty cool, the first site i've seen using the ".guru" domain. Also I like how he asks for your first name before you go deeper into the site, then rolls you right into case studies. Pretty clean and smooth experience overall too. From the Designer: A minimalist...

Atlanta Tech Village

Atlanta Tech Village

Really nice and clean layout for the Atlanta Tech Village website. I like the way they are showing you people in the space, with photos and video background, etc... the home page keeps you streamlined and puts what people would want to know most up front. This...

Skeleton

Skeleton

Clear layout and hip colors and type make the Skeleton website stand out. I like the focus on the case studies first - after all it's what you want people to check out. I dig that you get a bevy of info after you make your way past those 3 project sections. Also the...

Alex + Vivi Wedding

Alex + Vivi Wedding

Nice use of images and supporting graphical elements. The flowers and website element colors match up with the photography really well, that's not easy to get done. I like the way it scrolls rhythm wise as well as slight parallax scroll on the header image/area.

University of Vermont

University of Vermont

Great example of a responsive site for a university. Aside from the great responsive work here, I also love the main nav and search area. It's a mega-dropdown style but the entire page sort of slides down. The search box works the same way but it has everything you...

Newsweek

Newsweek

I'm not sure how long this responsive version of Newsweek has been live but I really dig it. I like the balance between screen width targets, they've handled the in between very well too. The large images on the main stories are balanced well over the older stories,...

Episcopal School of Knoxville

Episcopal School of Knoxville

What a beautiful website. I love just about everything about this site design. The nav is pretty standard and easy to get into. I LOVE the illustration work at the center of the page then the footer area is quite nicely setup and laid out it's great.

Postbox

Postbox

The Postbox website is in many ways a very typical product website design. But in other ways it's far superior. It uses the normal patterns of showing off a product in a clean and simple way but has some really great deeply detailed sections that show how the app...

Cole Townsend

Cole Townsend

Nice minimal site design. I like the blocks of content and how they keep you focused as you review the home page. I'm not huge on the way they handle when you scale down for mobile screen widths, but overall it's smooth and works great across whatever device.

Parcel

Parcel

I love the way the illustrations and typography meld together. It's a perfect mix of things. I also really love the signup form design a great deal. Clever use of making it simple looking and unique and interaction enough to help the user get it quickly.

Pizza Dough Pretzel Page

Pizza Dough Pretzel Page

It's not the entire website that i'm wanting in the gallery here but this Pizza Dough Pretzel Page in particular. I love the typography work here and how it all interplays with the photos. Super smart layout choices that mimic print pretty well too. Love this page!
