Cool landing page from InVision with their new To-Do App UI Kit. Love the intro - the CSS animation of the cloud .png overlaid on the mountain .jpg makes it look like the mountain and clouds are a video background. Looks like they share every single possible layout...
Anton and Irene
Pretty stellar agency/non-agency site from Anton and Irene, built by Oleg Chulakov. Avant-garde was the first thing that came to mind when landing on the site - pretty darn cool was the next thought. Love the different pieces of the site, but equally love the...
UXPin
"Design is really about solving problems" - Amen. I can see that UXPin's philosophy, matches the way they go about their design for their site too. Love the simple home page, that is still layered with a video background of the product, but more as texture than a main...
Family Trails
Good looking "Family Trails" site from the National Center for Families Learning. It's a very social site, and essentially it is a travel type blog, which seems to work very well for what the NCFL is trying to accomplish. @Family_Trails
Lehigh CBE
Like the clean site from Lehigh University College of Business and Economics - think it has good (and appropriate) UI / UX, even down to the main content / sub-pages. Like how they have the hamburger menu below the hero image so that you can go into more detail on the...
County of Monterey
The above screen shot from the County of Monterey's new website may be the single best feature of their website - that's not to say that the site isn't pretty decent on it's own (don't know if you know that government sites usually, well, stink...) - but a government...
Dennys
It's breakfast time in Nashville, Tennessee where we're putting BDConf (www.bdconf.com) on this week. we just finished setting up, and I'm watching the dude get the breakfast ready for the attendees... and then I see this site in our inbox - Denny's. We have one in...
Happy Apps
Pretty fun scrolling animation of the wires/tubes that connect the sections for you visually. I like that part of it, it makes what is fairly standard fun. Would be extra super great for it to be responsive, but there's always reasoning behind stuff so I won't judge...
Seven Shores
It's not often you see a restaurant or cafe website made entirely out of HTML/CSS. I know that's crazy right? This one isn't spectacular but it's efficient and perfect for the need. That's why I think it's beautiful, really! Also... it's made using squarespace.
Tree of Human Development
Pretty rad interactive element here. The tree that you get after completing the form is brilliant. Go take a peek and play around with it.
Fast Forward Labs
I dig this simplified layout approach of the Fast Forward Labs website. At it's core it's straight forward and simple, but lay on some neat visuals like the animated mind map graphics and it's pretty darn cool.

WEI SRAUM
There is a lot going on here to get this website responsive visually. The grid is pretty core to its layout and it flows really well from screen to screen width. I also really dig how the header/nav stays fixed and moves up visually as you scroll down. From the...
Vic Roads
So I've looked at reviewing the Vic Roads site, out of Australia, a couple of times since it's been in our queue and it took me a little while to come to peace with it. I think my initial problem was that it is very text heavy, so we don't often look at those sites as...
Zedd
Pretty decent band website. It get's straight to the point and doesn't bog you down with giant photos and crazy background design stuff. Band name, play music samples, buy stuff... that's all you need really.
World Wide Web Foundation
Solid, solid design here. There's a lot to this design but I only want to look at one thing for this write up. Take a look at the screen layout changes between what looks like iPhone and iPad - the marquis areas break out of being on top of the hero image to go...
Story of the Web
It's a fun website to scroll through. It's also pretty nifty visually. I like the navigation by year and then also by major event (bookmarks). Solid stuff.
Google Design
A simple feeling design that is anything but simple. Clearly, they utilized their Material Design approach to this site. There is also some really nice little interactions, like the "ping" visual thing when you click on main links. I will say that this site is way...
Audubon
A beautifully executed website for Audubon. I love how the first thing you see is kind of like a splash screen, with a large image but still visible navigation, then as you scroll it slides up to reveal a more traditional feeling site. Then the site is not very...
Giang Nguyen Design
Good, clean portfolio site from Giang Nguyen out of Vietnam. It's very simple, with the work being the main focus. I like the little refreshing tag lines on the top left - will say that on my browser, it is hard to see under Giang's name in the sticky header. All...
Formula 1
As expected from Formula 1, this is a slick, solid and bold website. The first thing to grab you is the quality of the large and spectacular images on the home page. As a designer, if you’re given images such as these to play with you know your design is going to be...
Limerick 2020
Interesting site out of Limerick, Ireland, in their bid to become the European Capital of Culture for 2020 - love to see a site that is built around the cultural events of a city. Really like how they have taken their logo - made a font out of it - and used it...
designosource.be
Good clean one-pager agency out of Belgium for Designosource. While the site is good, I think what is more impressive is that this looks to be a hybrid agency / teaching environment that grew out of a college classroom - probably the professors' needs to give students...
Advent
What the... I only wish some of the hacked websites we've seen over the years could have been this cool. I'm writing this Sunday, May 31st - and not sure how the site is changing on June 1st (the last part of this one-pager for possibly a video game by 2K (@2K) , says...
Old New York City
I wish that there were more of these types of sites out there like the Old New York City site, made by The NY Public Library, their NYPL Labs section, and Dan Vanderkam (Twitter handles below). Yes - we're still a style gallery, so you may ask why put this site out...

Rick Allen
So I've been listening to Rick Allen's music (from Def Leppard) for over 30 years now - and looks like he has a new website out. Really cool - has great full-width images (that are art pieces that Rick has photographed or designed). Speaking of the art - check it out...
Prime Minister Office of India
I don't think when I started writing for Unmatchedstyle, that I thought I would be reviewing the Prime Minister of India's website - but here it is. From what I can tell from his site, PM Narendra Modi seems like a hip and with it leader - a good bridge between...
Marcin Dmoch
i first looked at Marcin Dmoch's portfolio site on my phone - and really liked the quick interaction with swiping, instead of just using the menu. Like the different look of the Work pages too. From the Designer: "Marcin Dmoch - WEB/UI Designer living in Poland /...
Zenhusen
I'm digging this design for Zenhusen by Rodolfo Agency out of Stockholm. It has enough technical UI stuff to make it cool, but love the movement and clean layers that really make the design of the site. Submitted by: Rodolfo Agency Twitter:@RodolfoAgency...
