ryanmcmaster.com

Submitted by Ryan McMaster, @thinkslice. Designer & Developer. I wanted to put together a portfolio site that heavily emphasized blogging and social media. The portfolio pieces and my blog posts happily co-exist and have ratings, social media and "tweet this" links. I...

billcenglish.com

Submitted by Bill English, @billcenglish. Designer. I'm really liking how the background image up near the header really looks like it's been considered as a design element and not just a background/pattern. The overall feel of this website is warm and friendly and...

agrojapra.net

This site has a great feeling to it. All of the elements here seem to be in sync: colors, textures and illustrations. Even the subpages are really well laid out and formatted down to the block quotes.

Red Velvet Art

Submitted by Kurt Theobald, @kurttheobald - CEO of Classy Llama Studios. Red Velvet Art was the beautiful joining of the illustrative genius of Elsie Flannigan and the web design and production expertise of Classy Llama Studios. The site is built on Magento, a new...

hashrocket.com

Submission & Review by Luke Williams @luke_redroot - www.red-root.com. I just came across this site,and I was really impressed with some of the neat touches. Looks fairly standard to begin with, but if you explore the design a bit you can see some really nice touches....

Netmongrel

I love the background imagery/texture on this site. It works so well with the background color and making this a dark background site that feels a bit different. The large header really stands out and make you focus on that particular copy/message first. I feel like...

TvTWeb

Dutch web developer with a very clear and tidy design, I love the simplicity. This is just a really clean, simple and minimal style website. I really liked the way this site looked when I first came across it. I especially like the big blue section on the homepage and...

Adam Amaral

Submitted by Adam Amaral, Designer & Developer. The design of this website definitely stays true to the artist's style. I love the hand drawn icons and type. The blog breaks from the format of the website which hurts it a little - and wouldn't be hard to fix. Also, it...

Ascender Fonts

Submitted by Aurimas Adomavicius, Designer. We launched a new version of AscenderFonts.com - they're the foundry that makes all the cleartype fonts you see packaged up in Vista and the new office (like Calibri, Candara, etc.). Hope you like! Really clean designed...

Tori’s Eye

Submitted by Ricardo Mestre, @ricardom. Designer. Tori's Eye is a Twitter visualization tool, inspired by papercraft and origami. It's a visual and technical experiment implemented using only standard XHTML/CSS and Javascript. This is a fun little distraction. I'm...

jaredigital.com

Found via @jasongraphix In awe of @jaredigital's redesign. http://jaredigital.com Glad to see skippy (bottom right) has made a comeback. This is one of the most beautiful site's i've seen in a while. It's very minimal in it's first appearances then the copy and all...

Goplan

Submitted by Guilherme Morais, @gmorais, Designer. This is one of those websites that "feels" large when you compare it to others. I think I like the large graphics and text here. I know it comes of rather simple and straight forward in it's presentation. I especially...

Doc4

Submitted by Dale Crum, Designer. Nice site coded in CSS. Showcases portfolio work such as web, print and identity design as well as articles, tutorials, and WordPress plugins. Enjoyable website design, I particularly dig the logo. Overall the site is well done and I...

mackeydesigns.com

http://mackeydesigns.com Submitted by Josh Mackey, @mackeydesigns. Designer & Developer. I think the overall layout of the website is clean for a portfolio and a blog wrapped together. He uses a great mix of both flash and standard CSS coding wrapped around the...

ronniemoralesdesign.com

This has a colorful, borderline Apple look to it with the purple and blue rays. The slight angle on the white border adds some visual interest. I like that he kept it simple with the portfolio. It's always better to display a few of your best websites than a whole lot...

shayhowe.com

Submitted by Shay Howe, @letscounthedays. Designer & Developer. I quite like this layout. It's simple and clean and understated. I think the navigation works really well with the large link name and then the small explanatory text underneath, it works because the site...

lojabirds.com.br

This site really pushes the limits of keeping the design withing a traditionally placed website navigation and I love that. It's non-conformist yet the navigation is static on the page and the page uses the top-down scrolling that users are accustomed to. The hang-tag...

jeremycharles.com/blog

I like the vertical rhythm of this site, it seems "large" in it's scale but it just flows really well to me. The large feature photo with the smaller thumbnails in the second column just works really well. Then the footer with the diagonal line really brings focus to...

decisionsforheroes.com

I really like the open feeling of this layout. Aside from the header area it's basically just a big 2 column layout. The header is really well done I think, and I like how the sub pages seamlessly pair down the header to a thinner bar like it does. Seems like a really...

ohanlonsbeer.com

Good clean layout for this beer website. This site is just really well put together and there's not much to point out other than just give a once over and enjoy.
