Microsoft Band

Microsoft Band

My first thought after going through this site was, "me want." Which should be the point of a site like this. Then I remembered that I'm looking at the site for a different reason... so... basically, I had a good time on the the site - good and timely use of...

United Strands

United Strands

I made my first website in 1996 - it was a shopping site for a crappy private label golf company - it was probably the worst website ever created - but I got to learn HTML, while someone paid me a whole 250 monies. My point... so I really enjoy seeing how far...

Michal Weigel

Michal Weigel

Some good work from Michal Weigel. Two main things I like is the texture he puts into the site, and then the non-rectangularness of the site.   Submitted by: Michal Weigel Role: Designer

Map of Lubinus

Map of Lubinus

This is a fun one to end the week with. As you'll see below from the person who submitted this site, the map is based off of the Google Maps Engine, which I don't think I would have caught if they didn't mention it (make sure you scroll out).   i want to share...

FlatStack

FlatStack

This is an awesome software development firm's website. It is clean, concise, and modern. The meet us page is particularly cool, and gives people the opportunity to get to know their team in a creative way!   Submitted by: Abigale James Role: Sales...

Duda Caletti

Duda Caletti

Good portfolio site from Duda Caletti out of Brazil. Like the flat illustrations throughout. I don't think the links are working to her work / jobs, so would like to see them to see her work. Submitted by: Duda Caletti Role: Designer & Developer...

Auxiliary Design Co.

Auxiliary Design Co.

This is the website for Brooklyn-based Auxiliary Design Company. It uses lots of subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) interactions that give it a unique feel. It's a responsive site that actually all lives on a single page, although it definitely doesn't feel that way...

Almost Complete

Almost Complete

Really cool and (for me) fast loading site. I had to go back and read the description (below) about what it's used for - but cool way to present music / videos for this record label. Like how the videos and the site seem to mesh well too.   Responsive site for...

Daniel Snows

Daniel Snows

What the freak>?! If you're going to do a portfolio site - make it different. Daniel Snows has accomplished that. I wanted to take a screenshot of the entire site... but you'll just have to have fun for your self!

CrazyDesignsUK

CrazyDesignsUK

It's a simple website but it has tons of personality, just by the photo and portfolio images. It looks well curated. I do also like the way the big portrait photo gets folded out to the right as you minimize the screen to the smaller widths. Very well thought out site...

Vesper Hotel

Vesper Hotel

I really like the way the "departure" and "arrival" search is placed. It's front and center, very good UI. I also dig the way the images reveal as you scroll down, normally I don't like that kind of treatment too much but it works well here to me for some reason....

Divide by Two

Divide by Two

Nice simple layout. I like the logo treatment in the hero image space with the animation/video in the background of the letter forms. Nice touch there. Submitted by: Joana Carvalho Role: Designer & Developer This is my own studio's website. We tried to create a...

Webstock

Webstock

The 2015 Webstock site is gorgeous. I love the typography and responsive treatment across the board on it.

Google Inbox

Google Inbox

Pretty cool page for Google Inbox. I dig the intro animation that smooths into the main page layout. Interesting approach to the page navigation, working mostly like a slideshow but scrolling down instead of left to right. Not exactly responsive all the way, maybe...

Haigh And Hastings

Haigh And Hastings

Very different vibe than what i'm used to seeing with the Haigh And Hastings website layout. I really like how the overall layout changes for the different screen widths. There's some dramatic layout changes - check it out.

The New Black

The New Black

I love the design for The New Black a lot. It's traditional in the way it uses the horizontal header bar, but very much not so in the way it's blocked out and uses interaction to get you involved in mousing around the page. Awesome stuff, done simply. Get's me every...

Push511

Push511

Nicely designed gym website for Push511 - most of the time websites in this category are just awful. This one however is one of nicest i've seen across many categories. Great work on almost all of the elements that make up a top-notch site here.

Float

Float

Beautifully simple. I love it when something so simple can make a site be one of the best i've seen like the Float site. Smart image manipulation and a little narrative goes a long way. Beautiful new design for https://t.co/4ltwO0yAgr from @Yarcom — Matthew Smith...

BirdBrain Logic

BirdBrain Logic

Pretty standard feeling layout but they've used some smooth scrolling motion in the main nav bar and other elements to make the site have a nice memorable component. I like it.

Beyond

Beyond

Wonderfully simple but elegant layout. Tight spacing between elements and good vertical rhythm really makes this site feel like it was crafted with love. Also - check out the map on the contact page - same Google map - different look though.

PegsWeb

PegsWeb

Very intriguing layout. I like the main hero image area and the way pieces scroll into view. The map and contact form have a nice designery touch too.

Komunigrafik

Komunigrafik

Pretty crazy navigation interactions on the Komunigrafik site. I'm not sure how I feel about it, what about you guys?

Rest: Composure

Rest: Composure

Very cool site design. looks like a cool product too - we won't know until the Apple Watch comes out 🙂

Archeeve

Archeeve

Nice dark design. You don't see too many sites done using dark background this well. I also really like the main/hero image of the app screenshot and how it lifts up and loads more into view when you mouse over it.

Nodopiano

Nodopiano

It's always nice when there's a strong base to a design and always awesome when you layer good detail work on top of that strong base. That's what the Nodopiano site design does so well. This is my last work,the website for an italian web agency. It's a constant beta...

Rogue Guitar Shop

Rogue Guitar Shop

Man I love guitars. I love gear more. This site is plenty of eye candy and some good interaction design too. I like the big drop down nav design that includes pictures of the gear. You don't really even need to read to get where you want to go.

Moore Communications Group

Moore Communications Group

Great look to this site. I dig the transitions from desktop to mobile on the responsive approach here. Also generally speaking the design utilizes some blocks or chunks of content which works well for scanning and adapting to different screen widths.

Pixate

Pixate

As you may have guessed by now, we see a ton of websites - good, bad, spam (ugly). We also have seen every "app product page", that most have never deviated from the structure of the Square Reader product page from 3 years ago... Pixate could have gone there - and...

Fox Createur

Fox Createur

This site wasn't submitted to us. I found it when I was looking at one of Fox Createur's client sites for a review. This gets down to two things that I love with great websites - simplicity and creativity. Hover over the image(s) on the right - now start clicking...
