This site has a nice feel to it. It has a simple layout with plenty of space and a restrained color palette. The font choice (Helvetica Rounded) is suited particularly well to the subject matter. Along with the cloud graphic, it's very soft and almost tactile (like a...
activatedrinks.com
This is a pretty unique experience. Activatedrinks.com embraces the dynamic, interactive experience that web-based can provide by incorporating extensive use of css3. Its organic layout is strongly supported by subtle animations and a sense of great depth. The subtle...
mr.chancegraham.com
Chance's site may be composed of only a few elements, but they are placed so perfectly it's clear that every space, color, font, and word was chosen with intent. Such a simple site can be deceiving in that it might seem easy to create. After all, it's just a few links...
jenierteas.com
The feel of this site is as soothing as relaxing with a cup of tea. There's a nice and balanced complementary color scheme and subtle textures and highlights throughout that add to the calming feel. I enjoyed the typography and small flourishes as well as the vivid...
codeschool.com
Really elegant visual design for Code School here. I love the illustrations, they're calming and fun at the same time. The colors are earthy and give you a grounded feeling. Which is perfect because more than anything this site is selling trust. With clear calls to...
iqagency.com
Really deep content rich website that's visually executed beautifully. I love the vibrant basic feel to the layout, color and typography but what's more is that there's tons of content buried in this site. I don't normally like it when a site hides content, this site...
dewtour.pantechusa.com
The brilliant folks at {e} house studio just recently launched a new site and Android app for the 2011 Dew Tour. The site design has energy written all over it. It makes use of great colors, font choices, dimension, layout and some nice little hidden interactions. I...
grubwithus.com
Neat concept with a fairly sleek design. I like the strong blocky type matched up with a simple single list on the home page. The buttons/call to action items on the list of restaurants are fairly clean and obvious too. Nicely done website design.
movmt.com
I like the character and style worked into this single page design. The colors and illustrations sell this company well. I also really like the portfolio section, with the slideshow movements being tied to key controls as well as on screen elements. The use of icons...
soulja.de
Super simple approach to a portfolio site but also nicely showing off some solid skill at the same time. I love how the site will change color to match the specific piece being shown off, that's just smartly done. I also love the crisp detail on the prev & next...
cabedge.com
Cabedge harvested a new site and it is amazing in design and copy. Their home page is bold and simplified and immediately draws you in. Stellar typography removes the need for images throughout the non-work pages on this site. The dropdown nav is clever and I love...
iosworkshops.com
Super simple single page layout for Sarah Parmenter's iOS workshops. The site is simple since it's one workshop at a time, signup is straight forward. You can slide the iPhone slider over to get a code for a % off deal - clever.

Man looks like Greg Wood (@gregwood) has outdone himself with this site. The design is simply gorgeous! The details are all there as I expect too. The red/black & white makes the site feel almost classic to me - not sure if this is a homage to Roger Black's design...
stonehengeveterinaryhospital.com
I really like the interactions and response of the page when navigating around this site. The fly out content boxes for the Dr's bio's are pretty cool. Normally I don't like to hide info like that but in this case I think it's super practical and a perfect use for...
reverenddanger.com
This site is so damn fun. Scroll down or use the little down arrows for slightly different experiences. The illustrations blow me away then the interactions with the different sections add more awesome to that. They also make me laugh and really enjoy the site. The...
sencha.com
I love the simplicity and cleanliness of the sencha.com website. It walks that line between corporate and not quite well. The thing is there's a ton of info on this site, just getting around all of Sencha's various product information could have been a daunting task...
auto.dcshoes.com/photos
Pretty crazy layout with the diagonal sided nav elements and the large background image. The colors add greatly to the wild feeling of the design, but the structure is actually quite simple. That's cool to me, when you start with something that's almost minimal and...
cocollective.com
Nice minimal feel to this design. I like the single page choice, just letting the user scroll is nice too. You don't need navigation on a simple site like this so why bother with it? I really love the crew's photos with the drawings on top of them, that's super cool...
pgrady.com
I love the purity of this design, it's clean and straight forward. There's a singular use to it and it shows through in the visual design. The execution of the code is the same way, nothing overly technical but very effective and efficient. Responsive design FTW too!...
maratz.com/blog
Nice strong 3 column layout. I like the basic structure of this site and I really like the spaces that break that 3 column structure, like the oversized header area and the big map for the footer area. I also like how the header goes away on the sub pages, a simple...
creative-jar.com
Submitted by: Alex Jaques @helixtorques Role: Designer A very clean, minimalistic approach to website design that let's the agency work do the talking. Often, when we get submissions, the submitter includes a small comment about the site. creative-jar.com came with...
clearairchallenge.com
I like the efficiency that this site communicates it's ideas. The animation and icons back up the message very succinctly and make it fun (with the animation) to look at. The site is responsive too which is a nice final detail IMHO.
newquest.fr
newquest.fr takes visual dynamics seriously. A strong modular grid with random focal points that change every time the browser window is resized, ensure (for the most part) that all the content is available all the time. The content location is completely randomized,...
insitestour.com
Really nice minimal website design. I really like how it comes off as largely a stream of consciousness. There's a good hierarchy of information, the way it's ordered and the depth in which it's given. Super fun site. It's responsive too which is cool because I can...
insidethebuggy.com
Submitted by: Cornelius Quiring @insidethebuggy Role: Designer & Developer insidethebuggy.com makes me wonder. Its experimental nature is in stark counterpoint to its content. insidethebuggy.com is about the Mennonites, both past and present, and has a strange...
bionichippo.com
bionichippo.com is a great example of minimalism and content hierarchy. A strong sense of contemporary modular grid-based design dominates the layout in pretty much every way but is softened through tight control of mellow colors (with nice accents) and rounded...
glueisobar.com
Damn nice website. I love the sharp crisp boxes and the interactions are very nicely done. The diagonal slide in is such a nice touch and unexpected. I also love the "more about" slide out from the header, very cool. My favorite sections are the people section and the...
wpcoder.com
An interesting service, i'm very curious about this... The website is quite nice and when you're selling a service like this it has to be top notch and really it is. If all I had to go on was the quality of the service's site when it came to choosing these guys I...
buildwindows.com
I like a lot of the pieces of this website - for those pieces alone it's made the gallery here. I like the big green diagonal in the background, that's dynamic and gives the site some good movement and makes it very visually interesting. The other subtle diagonals in...
elpassion.pl
I love the details and simplicity of this website. There's tons of fine detail work, like in the textures and typography. The content is fairly simple, basically blocks of content move from page to page and are the same on the home page - it's a nice experience...
