Submitted by: Harry Roberts @csswizardry Role: Designer & Developer My personal hub-site, fully responsive, and the code is on GitHub for people to look through: https://github.com/csswizardry/hry.rbrts.me/ Another great version of Harry Roberts' site here. I like the...
appmiral.com
Submitted by Frederik Declerck @fred_dec Submitted it because he liked the site and Fred's an awesome guy! A beautiful 1-page website where the 'crab' leads you through the different parts of the website in an awesome, dynamic way. The navy theme is well chosen for...
unlayered.com
Submitted by: Juani Ruiz Echazu @heyimjuani Role: Designer & Developer Even though I released it not that long ago, I've been working on this for around 6 months. I wanted something similar to tumblr, but running on Wordpress; I hadn't done anything on WP 3.0 back...

This is a pretty cool looking single page website design. I like the concept and the naming. I even like the scrolling. I am confused over the animated navigation sections though, it feels unnecessary to me. Overall nice looking design though.

This site makes a striking first impression. The bold red and the crossing lines and angular shapes make for a dynamic look. The black and white photos work well and each 'page' is different and interesting. Some of the pages work better than others, however. The...
mihaibalea.info
Submitted by: Mihai Balea @bomasmd Role: Designer & Developer Simple and modern design using HTML5/CSS3 and jquery. This is pretty straight forward in terms of personal sites, but there’s nice attention to detail and interactions throughout. There’s also a nice...
francescanini.com
Submitted by: Matteo Montolli @zegiogroup Role: Designer & Developer This is a great website! I love the super simple approach using the 4 tags and some animation to pull you in. The work is great and the elements of the website all match up with the artists style -...

I like this single page scroller because it uses the scrolling to some nice effectiveness. The large 'HOLLA' & the background imagery on the top portion or home page of this site looks neat and is plenty eye catching. Then as you scroll down you see that the logo and...
kitchensinkstudios.com
Found via @owltastic Possibly the loveliest use of web fonts I've seen to day. This design is incredible. http://t.co/hL1iybK This is a wicked interesting one pager. It pushes the limits of typography, layout, color, contrast, shape and more. It’s visually everything...

Submitted by: Daniel Schermesser @pixelschupsernw Role: Designer & Developer A young creative advertising agency based in germany. Here is a nice looking vertical scrolling parallax based design. Honestly I can't get enough of these type designs. I know they're trendy...

Submitted by Cory James @coryska Role: Designer & Developer In a world of ever increasing complexity, sometimes It’s nice to have less to analyze and worry about. ‘Simple’ is calming, relaxing … for a change. Pretty crazy website but I really dig it. I love the...
kingsofmambo.com
Submitted by: Manel Leiva @kingsofmambo Role: Designer & Developer I love the grid of imagery in this design. It appears to be kind of responsive but not down to mobile screen size. The overall site basically riffs off that singular grid design that drives the home...
busesatthebrewery.com
Submitted by Dan Spencer, Designer. Aside from this looking like a hell of a lot of fun the site design is pretty nice. I like that it's a single page type design with some unexpected interactions. The registration, directions and contact forms sections all "slide"...
influads.com
There are a few of these ad network sites around and this one has one of the more clearly defined explanations i've seen in a while. The heavy use of icons is what brought me to this site in the first place, I think they look really cool but aren't completely...
lauraburciaga.com
Very nice upscale looking design for this blog. I like how it really sells visually the tone of what this person does. She's an interior designer, you just get that immediately from the visual design alone. It's a decent blog content wise too if you're into this stuff.
whatisthemaze.com
I particularly like this site design because it's structure over schmutz. It has this nice clean layout using a good simple grid then has a nice touch of grime and texture on top of the structure. It's almost systematic in that approach and I really like that.
itspronouncedfrits.com
Super simple website, another single page design. But what's here is fresh looking. I love the logo treatment with the 3D'ish boxes. He's used that same treatment on his photo near the bottom of the page too. This site design has a ton of personality and it's all done...
alittlebitofsomething.co.uk
Aside from being a fairly minimal design the central piece of this website that's so compelling is the copy. I've read over this page at least 5 times just for my own amusement and it looks like it has over 12,000 facebook likes - that's strong. With sections like: I...
wonderweb.com.au
Really nice simple website for Felicity Evans here. She's done some pretty good writing around the web, which is how I first saw this website. It's simple like I said, it's not going to change the way you approach your own designs in any major way but what it does for...
CSS-Tricks.com v9
This is, I think version 9 or so, of Chris Coyier's (@chriscoyier) CSS-Tricks.com website. We've reviewed his site designs in detail in the past and have always followed his progress and how he approaches working on his website. This one for me is a fine addition to...

CSS: It’s not that hard.
This article isn’t meant to hash over the pro and cons of which one is better in the age-old (at least since 2001 or so) css vs. tables debate. I really don’t care which one you use. If you can get your work done quickly, make money, and sleep well at night, then that...
