Very nice minimal approach. I'd say it's "minimal" done right. I love that there's a singular focus on that "projects" button, then you can explore from there, but that's the main thing. It's very clean and clear and I just love it. From the Designer: We wanted to...
A fairly clean experience for a big credit card website. The Chase site is responsive and has some nice open space throughout that really helps with the large amount of "stuff" they've put on the screen. I like the navigation design, using the hamburger icon and...
That is some crazy stuff coming from Boss Gloves - making the site exciting for products that aren't (their words below - not mine). Like the interaction on the slider - and like the points they make below - pretty spot on. From the Designer: After taking boss gloves...
I think Malte Gruhl out of London, has worked on every ad campaign as a design director ever created - at least it feels like that in his portfolio site. It's some sweet work encapsulated in good minimalist design. The images seem lower-res so that you can get some...
If you're going to rebuild Amazon - might as well do it cleanly and organized - Jet seems to do that. Like the flat design / icons coupled with real products - interesting combo. Reminds me a little of the iPod ads ala way-back in 2003.
Love the on-scroll and CSS animation on the TakeIt app site. Just a great "simple" site that get's the product / app's concept nailed down so a potential user get's it. Would be nice if more sites could do that... Happy Friday! @takeitapp

From time to time - we let sites on UMS that use themes - as long as they're modified - and not from a web design agency - and this one from Snap36 is pretty tight (and way different than the original theme). They are a custom photography (3D and 36o degree custom) -...
I wasn't sure whether to post this as a Gallery post, or a resource for Radar - either way - smart site from Domino's with Anyware that gives you instructions on how to use any of your devices and apps to order quickly (get it - not anywhere - anyware?). The site is...
I think the airbnb site continues to get better. We reviewed the site right after the redesign in July 2014. It was good then, and one of the first real sites to use use video backgrounds. Well, that continues, but they now have block and card designs that really...
This may be overload for your brain on British films - but the BFI (British Film Institute) Player is loaded with so many different directions to go, hi-res images from the films, themed categories of films, a map feature to show you where they were filmed, and 5...
Good agency site by Build Studio out of Calgary - good white space and general design. Like how they changed up the look of the project summaries from the Home page to the Work page. Really like the work they did on the Wisconsin Film Festival site too. ...
Like this site from Ghostly Ferns out of Brooklyn - a design studio, made up of freelancers. It's fun and has depth with the shapes / illustrations / patterns. What I really like is the link off to each one of the freelancer's work sites - that are similar, but...
Nice portfolio site from Vito Salvatore out of London. Love the big images and especially love the iconography on the "About Me" section - kind of wish there was more. Submitted and reviewed before in 2012... @vitosalvatore
Gyroscope is an app that I definitely want for my personal life (to track absolutely everything I do) - but their website (out of San Francisco) is pretty good on its own too. Think the 3d breakapart / breakout .js that some developers are using is pretty cool (used...
SuperFriendly out of Philadelphia is Dan Mall's (@danielmall) group - good people - great designers (great people too, who am I kidding). First thing I noticed was that the site renders left to right instead of top to bottom. Love how the site is super-simple - big...
Some unique portfolio / dev work from Cihad Turhan out of Turkey. In his mobile version of the site, he says that the entire site is really one big .js file (that you can download). Love the Works section (and the 3D Works themselves). The whole site is a cool mix...
Really likeBelgium's Kristof Van Espen's work - one his portfolio site, and especially the client work - and the details he provides on it. Pretty good, clean and simple UIs and what looks to be good UX too. Was listening to a podcast on hiring designers - and the...
Good start to the week with Two Times Elliott out of London. Like the mixing up of the different client work images as you go down the page. I'm a little hesitant on the 2 x's that are on the page that you just seem to click on to make them disappear - but once I got...
We wanted to show you FontShop today - kind of a hybrid Gallery post / Radar-like resource, by Monotype. Like the different feel of the site based on the colors and the general layout - and actually, you can change the theme color (once you get to the detail pages)....

Giovanni Ghirardi portfolio site, out of Veriona, Italy, has some cool, avant garde stylings. Love how the honeycomb selfie is used with the tilted rectangle to give some real texture above the fold. Also like the hamburger drawer that comes down from the top. ...
Yes - I was the one that approved the Neutron Creative site out of Raleigh, NC. Some of you may ask "why?" - because it's a big picture and some text. The reason: I think with some agency sites, we get too wrapped up in trying to show off every trick and new thingy in...
This is a solid and quick portfolio site from Dice Sales out of Christchurch, NZ. I like the integration of the background photography to the Recent Works section - he's a designer and photographer, so cool to show off both types of work. I think I also like the fact...
Big Drop, out of New York - their biggest strength on the site is the eye popping photography of real things, and how they stand out on the page. Also really like the "Request a Quote" banner (top right) and the surprise movement you get with it. @bigdropinc
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...
