Super simple wins, hands down. This site is superbly simple! I love how it's just a list of images at first, but there's interactivity to be discovered. I normally don't like the idea of hiding content, but in this case the drop down info blocks just work.

Nice almost minimal site design. Responsive layout too! Site's like this get me excited, it's deceptive. You first load it up in your web browser and it looks really simple, then you notice it's responsive, then as you mouse around there's subtle little interactions...

This is such a beautifully executed website design. I love the responsive design aspect the most here, you really should go through this a few pages deep changing out your browser width as you go. Simply fantastic. The transforms/animations that are applied (pretty...

Really cool, rather clean conference website design. I particularly like the animations on the home page, it gives the site this vibe that it's alive. The brand for build is simple and elegant and I love it.

webpop.com

Really nice mood created by the dark textures and colors set on the main headline type. The call to action is super clean and clear. The pricing & plans page is also quite nicely done both visually and from a sales perspective. I also like the "tour" section, it's not...

getflow.com

Really awesome loading animation when you hit this page for the first time. I like how it's so unobtrusive and just loads you into the main content of the page. The design, like the graphics, is clean and simple and very slick, what you'd expect from metalab. I...

I particularly like the interactive elements in this website design. The multiple 'mega dropdown' sections and the slideshow design make it feel like you can really fold back the layers of this site and look deeper inside just from the home page. Which the home page...

designintellection.com

Submitted by: David Yeiser Designed to be easy to read, the site is built with HTML5 & CSS3, is powered by Django and uses jQuery to ccomplish some neat techniques (check out the tab navigation on the side). Really clever design for this website. While largely...

Teixido.co

If all things are equal on a website when I see it for the first time, i'm always going to love the one with the most awesome detail work. Teixido.co has that. Very smart open and clean website design with some really great detail work is what makes this site top of...

seesparkbox.com

I love this Sparkbox website. The thing is it's so complete in it's message and positioning of the company that it makes me rethink projects i'm currently working on. It's not often a site does that for me... I love the colors, they're grounded in this sort of fun...

leihu.com

Freaking love this new version of James Mathias' website. The attention to detail to the crafting of the content just makes me happy. I love website with depth this one has it both visually and contextually. The left nav is very smart, it's kept simple and the large...

klpersonaltrainer.co.uk

I kind of dig this single page site design. It's really not enough content to warrant a full site, so the single page design really works perfectly. I like the different content sections and how they really break up the flow of the page yet all scan easily as you read...

winndesign.com

Cool looking site that's also a responsive design. I really like how the main image goes from being oversized like it is to flowing into almost a background element for the iPhone screen width size. Each page is very smart in how it's designed and executed. This one...

webstandardssherpa.com

Web Standards Sherpa website, built by Dan Cederholm is a pretty fun looking and solid site. I really love the illustration work and the overall organization of the content. It's pretty awesome that there really isn't a 'main navigation' design like you typically come...

ribot.co.uk

Found via: By @beep: Enjoying the thoughtful (and responsive!) http://ribot.co.uk/ redesign. This site has a really great feel to it. I love the green and white/gray color scheme, It just feels particularly English to me (I have no idea what that really means...). I...

fullstopinteractive.com

Super cool looking single page design. I really like the dark mood of the colors and the way the content is put together it really reads well and not too over the top like a lot of designer websites/portfolios. The copy is really what sells this site to me,...

yaronschoen.com

I love Yaron Schoen's work. This updated site is no exception. We've featured the past iteration of his site here on UMS and I love this version as much as I loved that one. First off the site is responsive, wich shows off a good deal of skill since the site doesn't...
