Good, clean site from Indigo Kids out of Lithuania. One quick think I really like is the color change of some of the elements as you scroll down the interior pages - it's subtle, but a nice touch. From the Designer: Great businesses are built on great experiences....
Great looking block design site by Skinn for Sanskriet Furniture in Belgium. Great photography always helps, and the layout is pretty cool too. From the Designer: Design wooden furniture Submitted by: Siebe Jacxsens Twitter: @skinn_be Role: Designer & Developer...
Fairly straight forward and normal product app page look for DaVinci Apps. Looks like the person recommending this site already reviewed it for me: From the Designer: Nice website, and actually a very useful service. As they say, you create customized screenshots for...
I like the color scheme of the Andreoli agency site out of Spain. Yes, I know it's gold with a bunch of white/grey/blacks - but I still like sites with one highlight color to emphasize what they think is important. And love the zombie lady - we should all do projects...
This is a great site called WNDRLND, that is aimed at the salon and stylists industries. Seems very fashion forward in both web design and design in general - which is good, since they are trying to inspire an industry of professionals who need to keep ahead of the...
I had to look at this site by Akiom, out of Romania, a few times - and I think it's grown on me. At first I thought the site was unbalanced (leaning to the right) - but the more I look at it, I like how it flows - I think the large, awesome-like images really play...
Beautiful, flowing site from Chargefield out of Ontario, for the Mississauga Symphony Orchestra. With flat / material design and other design trends, we see less "textured" type backgrounds it feels like. They've done a good job of having the "melding" the overlaid...
Good looking pet project site by Anthony Garone from Arizona, called Make Weird Music - interviews with musicians that make, well, weird music. Really like the split design, and illustrations. From the Designer: A 50/50 vertical split flexbox-based responsive design,...
Love this portfolio site from Timothee Guignard out of NYC. Simple and understated on top - awesome detail in the Portfolio Detail pages. From the Designer: Portfolio of Timothee Guignard, UX, UI, Webdesigner Submitted by: Timothee Guignard Twitter: @timguignard Role:...

This is a fun, quick, one-pager from Hound Studio out of the Ukraine, with cool animated illustration gifs - and good animated sales funnel. From the Designer: Imagine that you have 90 seconds to explain the customer the main idea of your business and all its...
Looks like ArtSocket has changed it up a little since we reviewed them in January. They've continued to focus on the Art side, but making the experience a little more immersive with the full-width art scroll on the home page, and more detail on interior pages - new...
I like the header intro for Linemotion out of Serbia - it's an interesting way to highlight the different pieces of work that go into their agency - how UI, branding, and development all come together to build UX / User Experience. Good job with the animated SVGs too....
Hands down, the best navigation we've seen in a while in this site for Workhorse Printmakers, made by Spindletop out of Houston (think we've reviewed their site earlier this year too). Love this header nav block - definitely makes you think of a print house /...
Very cool single page site done for Hadgins Engraving, by 15 Fingers out of Buffalo. Two colors, some illustrations, some good typeface, and a little interaction - very good. Especially like the "skull fashion plates" lower in the page. From the Designer: this is the...
Cool looking red, blue and white agency site out of Montreal from Ellpi. It's very simple and clean, with good white (red) space. I like how the video backgrounds on the site are not featured, they are more like footers on interior pages. From the Designer: ELLPI is a...
Sharp new site from Sequoia Capital out of Menlo Park. Like the intro image that leads down to the cool vertical slideshow, with great suped-up images, and a cool overlay on the left.
We usually don't see many dark websites that really "work", but the SCR agency site out of Slovakia makes a good case for it. Unlike other dark sites though, they have good, bold and bright colors to counter-balance everything. Like the collage / block design areas...
Good site from Principle out of Atlanta - for their interactive UI tool. The hero video is a great sales tool - and the looped videos are a cool, active way to make sure you understand the app allows animations and interactions. Clean and crisp on all the other parts...
I think I've spent about longer looking at this site for NeueHouse then I normally do for reviews. The site is extremely well put together - love the secondary nav at the top and bottom, as well as the movement overall on the site. The work on the NeueJournal part of...
Great looking site, with really good purpose - Eye Heart World, out of Tampa, Florida, is a non-profit dedicated to stopping human trafficking. Really good work on The Cause page too.

I've seen a couple of sites last year that had something similar to what Joni Korpi is doing with his portfolio site, doing zoomable UI for the web. His is pretty smooth. Here's a little bit about his work, the why and how:...
Love this site from Boldking out of Amsterdam. Great illustrations and animation help tell their story. Also love how the real and non-real elements work together.
This map from Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri is an information architect's dream. Using both mobile and desktop, I've been able to get around the 1,371 acre park (virtually) in ways that make regular maps on websites look more than ancient. The navigation is...
Looking at Berlin's designer Jascha Goltermann's portfolio site, I'm curious to see where he'll be in 5 years. Reason being, this site has some elements that are totally different from other portfolio sites we see, with out being too out there. Love the "hero" image...
This site from Marie Severac, a gastro e-commerce store out of France (not sure if a physical location too), is simple and clean - which is great when you're showcasing things like specialty foods. I think there are a few missing pages, but I like the classic left...
"One of these kids is doing her own thing..." and for Kata Farkas out of New York, that's a good thing. This portfolio site is very experimental, from the side scrolling, to the About page being very "fluid" - even if it's not the typical website experience - isn't...
I really like how designers are putting some time into their portfolios, and especially the case study parts - like how Samuel Medvedowsky's Work Portfolio pages use both full and "fixed" width to tell his stories. More so than that, it's great to get insight into how...
There are times when we see sites like the Indicius, and I think - way too busy, what's going on... I don't feel like that with this one - especially since there is no other navigation on the site. Really love the movement of the Case Study pages too.
