I love these vertical parallax style websites and I extra love it when I find it used in a real commercial setting as with this site. Combined with some smartly timed fade in sections this site comes off beautifully. It's engaging with it's almost straight down...

williamcsete.com

Beautifully responsive and clean/simple design for William Csete's site. I dig the illustration which sets a nice friendly tone, which you discover as you make your way through little details of the site. Love the sandbox stuff, like the 3D robot. Keep kicking ass man!

nerdery.com

Outside of calling those of us who work on the web nerds this is a pretty good looking site design. There are lots of little interactive or nicely designed elements to give it a very good polish - I love the dot matrix style printer news feed thing near the footer.

mobilefontfonts.com

Cool idea for a website and good looking execution too. It seems optimized for iPad but on the iPhone, not as nicely. Overall though, I like the clean and simple design for such a neat idea.

taocommunity.com

Very interesting mix of navigation "stuff" happening on this website. It has a nice looking fixed navigation bar along the top, which feels very traditional. Then it has this larger more explorative type interface where you mouse around on an illustrated map to find...

50.aigadc.org

I love this website for AIGA DC's design competition. Nice use of scrolling to reveal the slideshow. I like clever uses of interaction like this. Makes me smile.

charlestonly.com

I LOVE the smaller screen size design of Charlestononly.com. The overall design is really nice, but it's this smaller size that's just super great. I like the simple two column approach with the sticky header/navigation. Really slick subtle website.

quarterly.co

Beautifully done responsive design for Quarterly Co's website. I love the crisp icon work and the background stripe using what looks similar to mail/package/wrapping fits well and makes me thing of getting goodies in the mail. Love the crispness to the design and also...

nest.com

Website for the brilliant product idea Nest. Love this thing and want one badly. The website is simple and very convincing as you take in the content. Particularly the "tour" page (if you call it that.) Nice site that matches well with the product. Added bonus is that...

choiceresponse.com

Pretty nifty responsive design. I like how it's setup design wise on the different screen targets, good looking solution. I think some of the main images are a bit blurry, i'd like to have really sharp graphics on it. Overall I think it's a good clean design for what...

carterdigital.com.au

Sometimes a design becomes an experience as is the case with the interactions on Carterdigital.com.au. From the little wiggle to the mustache under the logo to the portfolio grid views this site's interactions are smooth and well done. Love the little rocket ship....

utah.gov

Really interesting site design. With the large stationary background image serving to give the only real visual that would inform you about Utah (skiing), it's bold. Then there's a fixed top and footer navigation layout centered around what appears to be the main...

nathanleighdavis.com

I really love the simplicity of this site. It's just a really well designed blog with almost perfect typography. The selection of FF Tisa and Proxima Nova Condensed from Typekit is a good choice. I do think the body text size could be slightly larger, this would make...

glitch.com v2

While not as great as their earlier beta site that we reviewed here on UMS. I still like this iteration. It's clean and open and the lighter background/approach I think suits the game better. I many ways it's a much simpler approach for the content, which could easily...

halfofus.com.au

Beautiful site design with some truly beautiful printed work. I love the strong blocky-ness to the layout, it just works so well with the sample prints. Super great cause too. BTW - this is my favorite one.

decode.uk.com

I really dig the depth of this single page site design by Elliot Jay Stocks. It has such a nice tactile feel to it and the transparencies are a really nice touch. It's beautifully responsive too. Love it!

hellofisher.com

I love the clean and bold design of the hellofisher.com website. I also love the responsive treatment, go ahead resize the thing...that's a nice touch with the main images in the header. What I like most is the deceptive simplicity in this website. There's a lot going...

hellogiggles.com

Neat 3 column blog design. I like some of the details like the logo when you mouse over it. The main navigation should make an icon lovers day. Overall everything appears to be kept consistent visually, which is sometimes tough with a blog that has a lot of posts like...

carnette.ro

Nice looking single page website design. I like the large product screenshot placed beside the smaller thumbnails in circles. That looks kind of dynamic in comparison. The illustrations are nice too, would love to see more of that style used.
