Cool way to start the week. A developer from France - Maks. That's really all the info I have - but I like his site. It's a quick side-scrolling one page portfolio site, but it's pretty dynamic. All the images are links to work or to email Maks - simple and to the...
I found this site from a photographer and art director from Paris, Thierry Ambraisse, a little while back - and for some reason didn't review it. I found it again this week, and something resonated with me, and really paid attention to the photos, the transitions, and...
You know why we like this site? Besides the fact that it's a great resource with interviews with some of the best and brightest on the web? We like The Web Ahead site because no one else is really doing this - making a site that's all about text. It's a content rich...
We're starting to see a trend with some agency sites lately: Header -> Agency Logo -> Little bit of intro copy -> Straight to client work / portfolio Man, is that effective - and Mast out of Denver, Colorado is doing that to a T. Love the block design (that doesn't...
Man, what a beautifully executed design on the August website. Fun layout and some super slick illustrations and animation really drive this design home for me. The main navigation is very interesting too. It's one of those that take over the design but I really dig...
The more I played with the Italic Studio website, out of Los Angeles, the more I really dig it. The whole work on the About / Home page is cool and fairly seamless. Their Work is pretty darn good too - I remember seeing the Reebok Rally women's magazine / catalog when...
Continuing with Reebok day - Voltage, out of Colorado, just worked on the Reebok site we reviewed this morning. When we searched for who did the work - we found their site, and man is it good. The video background and the full-width images - with some good scroll...
Today is Reebok Day. It could be that Gene and I are fanboys of Reebok, and in fact just ran our third Reebok sponsored Spartan Race this past Sunday in Atlanta (awesome images below). Plus, there's some good design on the site and in the companies associated with...
I'm not sure if the name Flat Cow is a play on an oxymoron, but design-wise, I like the contrast between the flat design, coupled with robust design - it plays well on this site. Also, the full-width design on the Work page is also pretty cool - and like the different...
Cool and different agency site out of Croatia for C2 - Ana and Sergej. Really enjoyed the opening sequence that turns into your initial navigation with the block C. Also like the use of the slider, plus side scrolling in the Work section. Finally - I like the...
Cool new product and website for Cast (by Genii). While I'm not sure who Genii is, I get Cast right away - and the animated video background helps (except for that one dancing dude on the right - reminds me of the Katy Perry Left Shark... but I digress). Good use of...
Really like the movement of the Stampsy site, a photo story / mood board / visual essay site, especially from the second to the third frames of the site. Everything is very well designed, and simple - using the video to tell their story. Also think the fourth frame is...
I always like to review product websites and Tapdaq is an interesting study in keeping things simple. I dig the way the graph loads the first time you visit the site. I also really like the simplicity in the overall approach to the design of the site; yet at the same...
I've said before that we really like these year-end summary sites for different companies - and Twitch's is a good one too! Pretty cool that you can have a multi-million dollar company based on watching other people play video games - but aside from that, I like the...
My 9yo son has his second baseball game of the season tonight. I showed him the St. Louis Browns website last night at 8:30pm (his bedtime) - and I found myself explaining the site and the team to him until 9pm (my bedtime) - Satchel Paige, 3'7" Eddie Gaedel, and yes,...
Lovely type based design for the Résidence Mixte website. I dig it in so many ways. Kind of cool how the slider actually changes the whole page - an added level of navigation. The colors are soft and also the French. 🙂
No matter what your political slant, we could probably agree with the statement that digital healthcare, with all of our technological and interwebs advances, could be seriously improved. So I really love Fantasy, a digital design agency out of San Francisco and New...
"We Want Mets - We're the funky, spunky, younger generation..." is now in my brain for the rest of the day - well played Kirin - well played. I've been a fan of Kirin, out of Japan, since before I can legally say. They have a soft drink called Mets - and it's website...
This Prollective site is a theme, that they made - they note it at the bottom of the page. It's a pretty dang good looking site and template too, just thought you would enjoy checking out what these guys do with it. We’re a collective of handpicked web specialists who...
Something about a classic looking simple design. Johan's portfolio website has "it". I dig it greatly! Submitted by: Johan Gunnarsson @nahoj Role: Designer
Cool and kind of trippy agency site out of Belgium, from tix02. The scroll is reversed, and the Work section through me off guard for a second; but it's definitely unique in it's design, and should stand out to potential clients. I really like the section on "Building...
Dynamic and bold design from Nivas out of Croatia. The multi-hued chevrons really make this site - and the line art illustration is a great background to start the page. Also like the Work page, and how the chevron shape is included in the work portfolio.
I was looking up some information on one our ConvergeSE speakers - Adam Smith - and took a look at his company's website, a Wilmington, NC based firm - Wide Open Technologies. This is a solid site, that is clean and easy to follow. I especially like the Services page...
I really like this trend over the past couple of years of companies spending a little time summing up their year in a fun and interesting way. BigCartel has done that here with their 2014 "Cheers to Last Year". SVG and illustration rich - and smart links to parts of...
TLDR' - Good agency / portfolio site out of Germany - from a couple of 15 y/o's. Great to see someone with ambition and skill just starting out in the industry - working on client projects before half of the web designer population has even started training in...
This is a fun, one pager agency site from Limonadas SA out of Brazil. I'm always impressed when someone can take illustrations and make them work on the page seamlessly with the rest of the elements there. Also like the "motion" on the header / nav as you scroll down...
Solid agency site work coming out of Toi, based in California, Texas and Buenos Aires. Like the use of the animated gif background at the top of the home page - gives it a feel of a video, and somewhat parallax background, and may work better with the speed of the...
With the new Bloomberg Business website that launched a couple of weeks ago (which we made some observations here), well it looks like the media giant also has a separate site for the media / advertising / marketing sales division - Bloomberg Media (BBM). We thought...
Dog Studio out of Belgium is pretty darn cool. Their site is a little unconventional - but it seems in-line with their immersive website work. The Projects pages are really rich - especially check out the Waterloo page. Good... stuff! (yes, a play on their motto).
I don't need to say much - Bence from Budapest has the description of his website down to a T: From the designer: I like how the images really dominate the whole site. The UI is extremely boiled down, so the pictures can shine. Submitted by: Bence Löcsei Twitter...
