Like the look of the new LSU (Louisiana State University) website. Not wild about the colors... because I'm a U of South Carolina fan... so discount what I just said - the those are school colors, and look good for the site 🙂 Think it's interesting how it starts to...
Partners for Our Children is one of those sites that has great purpose, yet may not be seen as 'cool'. Being in public service or government related areas sometimes makes organizations think they are alleviated from the 'burden' of good design, but we have seen many...
I love just about everything on this website. I luuuurve the illustration work for the bottle labels. On the site itself I really dig the simple layout and colors, I especially like the fly out illustrations as you scroll down too. Now, if I could only try one of...
Finally - really good state government website for New York (I hear RFPs being typed out for other states as you read... well we can dream right?) Great organization and really visually established sections. I'm curious about the billboard, cardish design slider -...
I'm a quote person - have them delivered daily to my interweb mail portal. The Quotarty looks pretty fun - looks like a very updated and organized quote site, compared to the normal, spammy, 1996 quote sites that, well have been around since 1996 (yes there are ads on...
We've seen a lot of "newspaper / magazine" type site launches this year - and cool to see America's oldest weekly magazine do the same. Like the top story categories at the top of the page (think they change as big issues do). Really like the feel and flow of the main...
Pretty cool site from the National Safety Council, called My Car Does What?: "MyCarDoesWhat.org is a national campaign to help educate drivers on new vehicle safety technologies designed to help prevent crashes. These technologies range from increasing the stability...
Dang. Enough said. @wearetopsecret

Really like this Studio D Photographers site out of Canada. A lot of moving parts through out the site and the blog - and I think it's playing off of a newer color trend (red, black, off-white so we can start to get away from teal and magenta..). Very cool to see that...
We've reviewed Uniiti's work out of France before - this looks like their recommendation app for restaurants and other services. Apparently the footer landscape image changed. Last night it was a dark sky with a rocket ship and this morning it's a bright day near the...
Designer Helen Holmes' site is a little different than most portfolios - and from the content on the site - I'm guessing Helen Holmes is too - in this world - that's a good thing! The site is light, and in parts asymmetrical, and just generally has a cool vibe....
Love to see sports sites being redesigned over the past couple of years - like this one for the Fighting Illini, in, well, Illini country. It's device sensitive, and looks big and bold on both desktop and mobile. I'm not a big fan of sticky headers with sticky footers...
Ok - I don't know who Axwell and Ingrosso are (musicians out of Sweden who play every Wednesday in Ibiza) - but my girls liked their video and music when I played it for them this morning (good message btw). Their website, designed by @kaleidco, is pretty bold -...
Love the opening and closing imagery for Slick Design out of Perth - the movement on the page is pretty cool too (would actually like to see more of it all the way through). From the Designer: This is a beautiful, sleek website that reflects the client's brand....
I'm not always a huge fan of super dark websites like these, but in this case there are some pretty great parts. I like the gold mixed in with the dark vibe. I like the second section, under the hero/video area a great deal. I really like how it loads in. I'm not a...
Cool portfolio site from Adrian Balkwill out of Ontario - like his work and his call to action at the bottom of the work pages. (also - love the Mario favicon) From the Designer: I have been working on this site and rather like it and I hope you do too. Submitted by:...
Really cool design for the Clínica Good Hope (out of Peru) - especially for a hospital. A lot of flat icon and illustration work here - and interesting points of navigation/sub-nav through out. It's mobile friendly too - out pacing many hospitals here in the US. From...
Interesting twist on mixing a large hero/video area and a slider like interaction. The home page scrolls well into the about section, I think it works pretty well actually. Simply because they don't hide the nav under a hamburger nav and just lay it out. I do love the...
Very interesting take on "pages" for a website. I do like the concept here, I also like the fact that the designer is willing to push the limits visually with this and actually use it in production. Bravo and good stuff. From the Designer: I think this website is...
Website for the Space City JS conference in Houston. I like the play between the name and Houston! This site isn't like a traditional web conference site, it doesn't do what you'd expect and put the images of the speakers front and center. I like that. I like that...
There is some really fun interaction going on here. The logo and the mouseover animation is brilliant, I love the top left treatment too. Down to the interactions over the work samples as you scroll down the home page which are nicely done as well. These guys really...

Really clear and clever website for Natasha Sumant. I dig the imagery and the way it's worked up into a slight parallax vibe. I think clients in the wild will have a pretty solid response to this website.
Really, really clever layout for The Supply. It's a very non-traditional approach to what feels like a very old school business idea of placing talent. I dig it. Submitted by: The Supply Twitter: @thesupply_feed
Pretty slick design. It's simple yet compelling in that I never have to leave the home page to really learn about Ascend, but there's plenty of depth and further content to dig into when desired. Love that. Submitted by: Steven Monetti Twitter: @steven_monetti Role:...
The Comovee site is a great example of a product website that gets the details right. I dig the clean design and mix of large imagery. The screen width differences are nice too, scale it and you'll see what i'm talking about. Subtle yet solid design. From the...
I like the strong imagery and the solid typography used in unison like it is here on Midnight Works. The vibe of the site as you scroll through it just feels good. Love it.
Pretty darn skippy on this one from Specialized Bicycles - their 5 More Minutes campaign. One more instance of scroll-jacking making a heck of a lot of sense. The bike looks pretty sweet too!
We don't normally do a lot of iPhone app page's here in the Gallery but when Paravel does an app like this you gotta take notice. This one pager is stunning, from the logo/branding to the layout itself. Gushing here a bit but damn guys. Nice.
