Colorkite is a clean, minimal design that does a great job at getting out of the way of the content. The typography is pretty solid and the color palette is subtle and sophisticated. The site is responsive, though it looks a little disjoint at some screen sizes. The...
I have to say that I think this is an great site. It has just the right mix of texture, art and typography. My favorite part of the design is the speckled background, which does a great job of softening and activating the negative spaces without making the design...
This slider is so coolconvax.com— Dan Denney (@dandenney) September 4, 2012 Agreed Dan, the animation that follows your mouse around behind the slideshow is clever. It's something that's pretty minimal really, as fare as interaction goes, but works well to keep...
There's a pretty structured grid feel going on here. The use of League Gothic emphasizes the grid weight, but Chaparral Pro is a welcomed contrast. I think both typefaces are executed well enough to marry the crisp imagery with the fun illustrations. I like the...
This site is beautifully wide open, with subtle animations and a complex mix of textures. It is somewhat narrative through a combination copy about exploration and imagery of space. Their vision is simply stated, which I like, and the design is super-clean (which I...
Great looking single page scroller. I love the long almost narrative feel to the catalog here, the product displays are well done too. I think the fixed nav element is a little bit understated but it's a subtle design and I totally understand it in the end.
The South Tees Hospital website is a superb example of responsive design for a large organization and not just a personal portfolio or design firm's website. We always love it when we come across large scale projects like this that utilize a lot of the same techniques...
I usually hate when websites hit me with a 'site soundtrack', but in this case I really think it helps to complete the experience. The colors, texture, and typography go really well with the music. It took me a little while to realize that the center banner is the...
What a great vibe this website has. I love the lines and stark yet very soft graphic feel to it. It's amazing how this shows off hard edges and soft colors at the same time. Truly creating a harmony of the two. It's also a superbly designed adaptive experience. Each...
Ian put together a nice post for us about his thought process while building this site. I love the experimental feel of the design, so I thought I'd throw it in the gallery. As Ian mentioned, this site certainly makes accessibility sacrifices to accomplish the desired...
Nice site. I really like the static content on the left. Really, this site is all about selling tickets. It makes sense to keep that button on the page at all times. I think that the collapsed nav is interesting, though I feel that area of the page has room for a...
I can really get behind the minimal approach to content that frameinc presents. The site isn't cluttered up with overblown copy or quirky language and I'm not forced to wade through a huge portfolio to get a sense of what this business does. The design and the short...
Damn, this site is fun! It's all about animation and storytelling, both of which it handles beautifully. Here's a case where the art is the content. It shows how clever Neil can be, as well as his skill set. One of my favorite personal sites to date. I'm jealous I...
Deceptively simple design is badracket.com. It's a well designed responsive solution with some nice little goodies spread across it's single page layout. I love the interstitials designed into the content flow that allow you to open picture slideshows. The small...
Really tight design for the Treehouse website. I love the main graphic with the interactions that make the other elements on the illustration disappear. They work really well to pull you in deeper into the chosen section. I equally like the fixed header and how it's...
Great website for a Cowork location. It's marvelous, I couldn't think of what else a website for something like this would need. I love the interactions on top of the slide-show images, they are clever and not overpowering. I also love the large background map image...
The illustrations are really great on this site and the animations completely sell The humor. Love it?
The emma website is very crisp. I dig that top nav and how crisp and brite it looks to me. The "get started" call to action is easy to find and understand and I like that it's echoed on the page a couple of times. The overall layout gets more dense with content as you...
Such a great clean and clear experience. I love the overall simple approach, keeping the visual noise to a minimum, it's totally different in approach to most product websites like this. The call to action is super clear and concise but doesn't beat you over the head...
Pretty much have to include the new(ish) responsive Starbucks Coffee site in here. It has some neat sections of it's design that are worth studying for sure. Like the different views for different screen widths on the big slideshow slider. We'll take a closer look at...
Submitted by: Tejas Bhatt Role: Designer & Developer Pretty cool experience with this website. It's fun and set's a good tone visually for what you might expect there. It's also responsive and all HTML which when it comes to bars/restaurants you hardly get that, this...

This site runs a little slower than we would like but unfortunately, the host provider was already chosen by the client. That aside, amazingly, this is @lindzington 's first ever site design. First ever! Can't wait to work on more. The cool photos were taken by the...

Beautiful site from @addison - well.io - love the subtle animations— Jason VanLue (@jasonvanlue) August 23, 2012 Beautifully simple and minimal website for the iPhone app Well. Using some simple animations as you scroll down the page to engage you visually on...
Another solid minimal(ish) design that's great. I love the bold typography and black and white coloring. Keeps it all very clean feeling. Then those charts of skill-sets are very craftily done.
Submitted by: Aaron Relph @aaronrelph Role: Designer & Developer Wonderfully simple, yet chock full of detail work is this site for Aaron Relph. I give it two thumbs up for the domain name alone, love that sense of humor. Plus the silhouette of the T-rex is just...
Submitted by: Brian Onorion @WeAreO3 Role: Developer I love the bold graphic nature to this design. That illustration of the city is boss and the icons used in the main nav are nice as well. Great simple site with some visual depth in terms of the illustration and...
Submitted by: Fabrizio Michels Role: Designer & Developer The scrolling/parallax effect on this site is a pleasant surprise when you first start clicking nav links. I like how it smoothly loads in each page and it's overwhelming. Clear nav and clear sections make this...
