Listen - we don't normally do wedding / proposal sites - but this one from Mike Pechardo out of the San Francisco area is really well done. Looks like he spent a lot of time to make everything come together seamlessly on the web side - hope that continues for him and...
Good design company site from Station Four out of Jacksonville. These folks have come and hung out with us at ConvergeFL - good people. They work on a bunch of different platforms, and their work and their site looks clean, has cool icons / infographics to tell their...
So.. here's the story... this site is all about true whopper fish tales... "the lucky few who have done the impossible and reeled in a true monster." Yeah sure, great on the CSS animation, map and interesting way they present the stories so you see the magnitude of...
Ok - awesome fonts, flat images, and animation in an interactive full web page infographic. It took me a minute to navigate what to do with my car (hint: use the scroll bar at the bottom or use your left and right keys), but once I got going, I think it's excellent...
I like the contrast of using stark white space and texture in the background and around important shapes/spaces on the page itself. Contrast can go really far as a design tool.
Pretty straight forward layout, but fitted with some nice tight detail work. I really dig the subtle impression you gain by viewing this site. Submitted by: Dustin Myers @dmyers09 Role: Designer
Very nice project/website to showcase the skills. I love stuff like this and this site for Kyle Read is one nifty example of how to do it. Love this site by @kyleread: http://t.co/DM0IobW5GI /via @timbrown — Elliot Jay Stocks (@elliotjaystocks) November 18,...
Pretty dang awesome! I know you can do a lot now with Javascript - so the .jsConf out of Buenos Aires did it all. Their conference just ended on November 29th, but I'm glad they left the site up so that I can destroy the alien bad guys.... Just check out my...
Make sure you check out the detail pages for Jon Contino's (out of New York) portfolio - really sweet designs. I like the "Work" page too - faceted search so you get the idea of Jon's strengths - and a hint of parallax (kind of like the icons on your iPhone home page...
I love non-standard stuff, like with Lab Partners. For instance the clock in the upper right, works! I'm sure there's a way to make this design responsive, but it's still pretty sweet looking to me.
I like quirky design and I extra like it when it's working hand in hand with solid tried and true design techniques. Just like with Angra Maria's portfolio site, beautiful work.
There is some really great stuff here on the Blueion website design. I particularly like the 8bit looking illustration section for the team pics and some good video never hurts.
Gio and I saw these guys talk in Greenville at Grok last year. Listen - the site is great. It has some subtle animation and appropriate parallax, making you feel like you're in the game. But.. the point of the Hunger Crunch site is not just the game attached to it -...
Note to self - don't do website reviews on food sites three hours before lunch - especially when it looks as appealing as the Chickenbot website out of Italy... yes, Chickenbot. Great, savory images and pretty decent ordering functionality for delivery... they just...
The new Envy Labs site is really good stuff. There's a good balance of content and clean tidy layout. I love the little interactions that are built into the design like the "what does your idea need?" piece and the way the navigation has multiple states because you...
Sometimes you just need a design that simply states who you are, and is devoid of bells and whistles that may complicate your message. Erskine Design out of Dallas, TX, has done that - clear layout, decent font combinations (serif, sans, and script) - a little...
I would like to hear from the designers to be sure, but it looks like they may have used SVG and CSS animation in tandem? Either way, the good flat animation gives you a sense of Form Keep's usefulness - like the no iframe idea too.
Nice SVG animations and flat illustrations that become the focal points of a very clean site. Each page in this portfolio site from Adam Howell our of Charlotte, NC, has some different functionality, still keeping within the same theme, showing off some good work.
Really enjoyed the video explaining Envoy - seems like a good, versatile app / system for checking in visitors to your company. The site itself has good on-scrolling animations that give you a good sense of how the actual app performs, while also describing the...
Interesting way to start your week - this site is an outlet of an obsession for Jose Guizar out of New York. Windows of New York is a cool project, clean site, and just a little fun to start the day.
Dude... where was this site when my wife and I were living and traveling in Australia, South East Asia, and Europe - sans kids? This is awesome visual representation of peoples "bucket lists" - from skydiving to climbing Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia. Great sweeping...
Who knew that you can make a real estate website that looks good and is functional (most of the builders and agents in our area have the worst websites ever... really.. we just bought a new home a few months ago, so I've seen them all) Focal Point Homes out of McLean,...
Great single page agency site from Caava Design out of San Diego, California. While I wish it were responsive, I love the layout and coloring - an neat trick with the arrow coming down on scroll to highlight the Featured Work area.
Great looking site from Amazee Labs out of Switzerland. Like how they carried the tape pieces theme through out the site - all the way to making new social media icons in the same theme (from their team detail pages). Plus - I accidentally found their 404 page -...
If you've read any of my reviews - then you'll probably notice that the word "simple" comes up about every other review. Simple is a term of endearment in my world, because for me, it means cutting to the core / heart / bones - and getting the the job done. So when...
Solid looking portfolio site from Ash Stallard-Phillips out of Southampton, UK. Has cool flat illustrations and fly-ins that give the light site some depth... (yeah, I just said the flat illustrations give depth...)
My co-worker and I have been staring at this site for a few minutes going "mmmmm.... pie" as if we were two Slingblades sitting in a hipster office staring at pies... I know - sad visual... but the Emporium Pies site is a very good visual. "What do you do? - we make 7...
I'm sure every generation says this about the ones coming behind them - but kids today don't seem to have the communication and writing skills of their future predecessors (see what I did there?). I'm saying this as a father of three children from the ages of 4-9. So...
Something a little different - this is a splash site from Mijlo.com, based on their Kickstarter campaign for a sustainable backpack. MIJLO reached out to a select group of global creatives to curate a collection of essential items - with one caveat - their style had...
Over the years, we've used what seems to be all manner of tools to collaborate between designers, developers, and the pesky client. Atomic.io (from the video) looks to have some firm solutions, and some features that you just go - yep, need em - didn't know I needed...
