Freaking love this new version of James Mathias' website. The attention to detail to the crafting of the content just makes me happy. I love website with depth this one has it both visually and contextually. The left nav is very smart, it's kept simple and the large...

I kind of dig this single page site design. It's really not enough content to warrant a full site, so the single page design really works perfectly. I like the different content sections and how they really break up the flow of the page yet all scan easily as you read...
winndesign.com
Cool looking site that's also a responsive design. I really like how the main image goes from being oversized like it is to flowing into almost a background element for the iPhone screen width size. Each page is very smart in how it's designed and executed. This one...

Submitted by Betsy Ensley from phase2technology.com Role: Designer & Developer Design site showcasing the work of Phase2 Technology's design team. Really fun promo-page by Phase2 Technology. Reminiscent of the Lost World's Fairs stuff that came out last year. I love...
webstandardssherpa.com
Web Standards Sherpa website, built by Dan Cederholm is a pretty fun looking and solid site. I really love the illustration work and the overall organization of the content. It's pretty awesome that there really isn't a 'main navigation' design like you typically come...
ribot.co.uk
Found via: By @beep: Enjoying the thoughtful (and responsive!) http://ribot.co.uk/ redesign. This site has a really great feel to it. I love the green and white/gray color scheme, It just feels particularly English to me (I have no idea what that really means...). I...
fullstopinteractive.com
Super cool looking single page design. I really like the dark mood of the colors and the way the content is put together it really reads well and not too over the top like a lot of designer websites/portfolios. The copy is really what sells this site to me,...
yaronschoen.com
I love Yaron Schoen's work. This updated site is no exception. We've featured the past iteration of his site here on UMS and I love this version as much as I loved that one. First off the site is responsive, wich shows off a good deal of skill since the site doesn't...
netliferesearch.com
Really cool and different looking design. The stark green background immediately makes it stand out in your memory once you've left the site. The illustrations are all amazing as well. I especially like how the site transitions so well from the home to sub pages and...
kathryncorneli.us
I always love a site that conveys the designer's personality, it's like you get to peer inside their head to see what they're like. This site is a great example of that but it's totally different from what you'd expect to see from a web designer today. I say that...
samueladams.com
Really nice site for Samuel Adams. I love those drop down navigation elements for the main nav. They react and respond really well and simply. The same can be said for the slideshow images interaction. The textures used throughout the design are also very nice and...
wikihow.com
Nice modular design to wikihow.com. I like the main nave design, not connected to the other content elements but the arrow pointing down from the link/page you're on is a good indicator to inform you where you are. I also like the way the "free iphone app" link is...
railroadrevivaltour.com
Really cool idea for a tour but the website is also pretty nifty. I like the 'old style' treatment to all the elements, the typography and the little flourishes around the shapes and lines are well done. The sub pages are really simple but it all works well together.
villagecreative.com
Really crafty looking layout in villagecreative.com. I love the asymmetrical layout and dynamic use of the grid. The background texture and colors are all chosen and executed well and the overall visual rhythm of the site is super nice. I'm never that hip to having a...
brandalmanac.com
Really interesting website. I love how the home page is so different from the sub pages. It's intriguing to flip through this site. The sub pages are also very nicely done and I especially love the treatment of the "about us" page.

Really great strong graphic site. I like how the design of the layout and elements match up with the illustration so well. That's such a nice thorough look. The colors are also pretty cool when paired up with the illustrations too.
rxbalance.com
I really dig the RxBalance website. I like the background image/colors used, the watercolor(ish) style is nice. The overall layout is well balanced with copy and imagery. This is probably a super tiny detail but I love how the social media icons look like they are...
weightshift.com
Recent update to the weightshift.com website, I love every pixel of it. Super cool large photo on the home page that draws you in with the tagline, then the subpages flow effortlessly into the content. My favorite section is the portfolio, "recent & featured" with...
netmagazine.com
The new design for .net magazine is quite nice. I like the clean black and white grid based look for the layout, there's plenty of color in the photos and ads that adding it in other places would likely overwhelm you. The page scans pretty well even though there is a...
chasefarnum.com
Cool typography, it looks very much hand done and that's super nice. I really love how the ampersand is partially over the main design sample image like that. I really draws your eyes right to that spot. Otherwise a nice clean and simple grid to drive you around the...
threepennyeditor.com
I always love conceptual stuff and this site is no exception. I really like fixed footer with the typewriter illustration, it totally sells the concept of the "editorial services". You just can't go wrong putting this much thought into the visual concept of your site.
nordicruby.org
The Nordic Ruby Conference is back with an updated website this year. I love the design, responsive and also has a bit of interactive animated worked in. Lovely color palette and overall organization. I do think that the home page loses hierarchy on the content as you...
methodandcraft.com
So by now most of you have seen Method & Craft, if not, you can thank me personally for introducing you. It's a great resource and also the design is pretty terrific too. It's minimal without lacking character and it's very visually rich without being over the top....

Really beautiful design. The clean typography & easy visual rhythm makes this site super easy to scan. The colors are also expertly chosen to aid in a pleasant reading experience. I also love the illustration on the home page, it's just enough to give the site...
colinmckinney.co.uk
Man I love this website layout/design. I love how the portfolio samples are grayscale then roll over to color, I also love how the navigation/logo area is fixed on the left side like that. These aren't new things in any respect, but they just look and feel right here...

Submitted by Ken Woodworth, @kenwoodworth. Role: Designer & Developer Really cool vertical scrolling effect (vertical parallax?) with the foreground design elements and the background on this site. I've seen this type of thing before but i'm always impressed when it's...
