I will tell you that your Macbook will be running hard when you clickthrough to La Haute Societe's site - but it will be worth it. This is one of the best use cases of video background - because it's pervasive throughout the entire site. It has a good flow and story...
Really like this portfolio site from Luke Greenway out of Brighton, UK. It's smooth and classy? - can't find better words for to describe that right now. Also starting to like this trend of sticky headers that reveal in a different color when you scroll down (white to...
Good clean agency site out of Sydney from Mass Effect. There are some places that could use a little less SEOing (like the footer) - but I like when sites use neutral coloring like this as a backdrop - and let their work be the coloring - would like to see some more...
The angles make this design feel dynamic. They're almost too much but it works. I particularly like the pattern the triangles make in the footer area.
What a beautiful grid based layout for the Wolf and Son website. There isn't much I don't like about this site design. The colors and photography really just seal the deal to make this a really great looking site.
The 25 Art House website has a really cool vibe with the clean and crisp typography and the large notecard looking case study link blocks. I dig the 'masonry' loading and sliding around the link blocks do as well on screen resize. Cool site.
My wife and I love travel, and were remembering back to living in Australia and traveling to Bali (pre-kids). So I'm always interested in traveling blogs, and just caught Cookiesound this morning. Looks like a mother and daughter (Ulli and Nisa), from outside of...
Really interesting visual approach. It has the 'feel' of an art or design magazine for sure. I really like the 'view article' overlay for the sections as you make your way past the hero area. I also like the way they've handled the main nav and the more nav section...
I really enjoyed looking through this website. BTW the fish blinks... The design is beautiful and I love the contrast with the light line work in the design with the heavy typeface.
This is a follow up to our review on Friday for Burton Snowboards. It's nice to have a platform to thank people and businesses when you've had a good experience with them - and as someone who has owned companies in the hospitality business, I know that complaints...
I took my son snowboarding for the first time at Beech Mountain (@BeechMtnResort North Carolina) last Friday (and ok, it was only my second time) - so we took lessons (because last time, 10 years ago, I only lasted 4 hours, and watched my buddies for the rest of the...
A good agency site out of France for Sublimeo. It's very functional and exact, probably with too much copy in one place, but that could be for more SEO reasons. I do like the flat / big icons that are used as secondary navigation (I've done that before, so might just...
This is a cool site and cause from Google - it's the Google Science Fair. We've seen so many flat sites (svgs, illustrations, general design) in the past year, many trying to take off from Google's lead (Material Design), that it's interesting that this is a more...
Ah the power of compounding numbers - it's really cool to see the journey of companies, from back of a napkin, through acceleration, and into adulthood. Olark, at live chat customer service app company out of San Fransisco, uses this page to tell that story. It's a...
It took me a couple of times to get into this site - but revisiting it now to review it, I'm digging this portfolio site by Genn out of Kiev. The stark nakedness of the opening is very very cool, and the hover-state that leads to navigation is a nice surprise. Good...
Love this site out of Paris for Lincorn Publishing. The intro page with the video background and movement of the text is very cool. The Services (Prestations) page deserves the scroll-jacking so that you can soak in the images - then it has great transitions. From the...
Between Sitefinity and Kendo UI, we've been watching Telerik for a good time now. With the new release of Kendo, we figured we'd look at their site for a little review. I'm always interested in what developer intensive companies do with their websites design-wise....
Good one-pager portfolio site from Martin Gonzalez out of Barcelona. Like the play of the headline copy over the slideshow and the on-scroll fly-ins. It might scroll a little too fast, but it's well thought and laid out. Submitted by: Martin Gonzalez Twitter: @saretdm...
Good site and great idea from Wattage.io out of Toronto. Like the integration of the video demos to give you a feel for how the app really works - this is a case where showing your app on your one pager is actually a good thing. Simple, clean, and useful - that makes...
I really like the movement of the Pound & Grain site, out of Toronto. The subtle use of parallax with background shapes and colors, coupled with the images and copy make for a great experience. Also like the little vibrance of the animated gifs hero images, that...
If you don't like Fuzzco, then you're probably just jealous you didn't come up with that first. I've read some reviews of their new site - both good and bad - and hey, we all have opinions (insert colloquialism here). And why am I writing this like an opinion (or...
Excellent way to start Monday - with the agency site from Hello Monday, out of New York and Copenhagen. They do some really cool work, and their site is definitely different than most web design firms. From the parallax slider that rotates vertically, to the smooth...
Some of us here at Unmatchedstyle are fan-boys of Reebok (planning our Spartan Race Tri-fecta for this year). And when Reebok released this one page / video, it makes us glad that we have a 12k trail run tomorrow - like watching football (both kinds), and then running...
The countdown is on, registration for Google I/O 2015 is open in 33 days. The site (right now) seems a little scaled down from last year - but cleaner in approach, but not traditional. Either way, looking at the photos from Google I/O 2014, it's something I would want...
While the subject matter may be a little shocking, and the tone is something akin to True Detective, The Hart Island Project website is pretty incredible in a design sense. The video intro - don't skip it - it sets the tone that is continued through out the site. And...
It took me a minute, and still don't know who Charlie is (they don't talk about Charlie) - but if I'm in Philadelphia (maybe this summer), I'm going to check out this vegan restaurant, that boast of "small plates and strong drinks" - Charlie was a Sinner. The site,...
Really like this sleek design from the Hatch agency out of San Francisco. It's a cool way for an agency to show their work and present themselves as innovative and cool. I'll keep watching this site to see how they update the images, if they change the shape of the...
This site is all about the tone for me. Big bold text on the home page set in a simple none fancy sans-serif font. Bold, earthy, homely imagery - love whatever filter they’ve used on these. The design could have easily gone down a more handcrafted/organic/market stall...
I like this one (ok, two) pager. It's fun and has a cool concept. Cool illustrations and even some CGI on the rocket (well, kind of). And no.. not that Carls Jr. From the Designer:This is my portfolio site to showcase my design work. Hopefully it can be approve :)...
Some of us at Unmatchedstyle are runners. In fact, Gene and I are running a 12k this weekend that benefits the state forest we run a couple times a month. The Running Charity, out of London, is taking running and charity to a different level, not just raising money...
