I love the colors, the green(ish) with the slight texture and the black with tiny bit of white and orange. Just the right mixes. I like the illustration/character used on the home and and throughout, it's fun. The neat thing is on the portfolio pages, when you click...

I like the way the illustrations are produced, they look a little like watercolors, that's nice. I like how the illustrations are used as well, to make you feel more caring toward the animals, they look cute and all that. Nice typography and nice detail on the contact...
rueverte.com
Get your absinthe! Nice looking e-commerce website. It's clearly built on top of a shopping cart engine but it has some nice interaction details to keep it interesting. I love the mega-dropdown designs, the photos/icons used there are crisp and clear. I also like the...
faciodesign.co.uk
Beautiful website design with some really great detail work. I love the animated clouds under the header and the navigation/header shape is cool looking too. The sub pages are all designed and have something unique about them to differentiate from the other pages. The...
typeoneerror.com
I like the strong green color on top of the black background here. It leaves you feeling like you've just seen a unique look. I love how they show wireframe work with their finished work, like this iPhone app example. I also like the copy, it's not over the top or too...
Pentagram
There are things I like about the Pentagram website and things I don't. The things I like outweigh those I don't. The way the design focuses on the work first is very nice, it's totally whey I would come to the Pentagram site in the first place. It helps to draw me...
kennysaunders.com
Cool personal site for Kenny Saunders. A portfolio/introductory website, it does the job well. I like the fixed background image and the mixed column layout on all the different pages. Subtle yet nice. The site is overly clean and straight forward in it's layout,...
food.traveloregon.com
Super nice design, I love the vibe of this site. It has a nice relaxed feel yet the structure and organization of the content is solid and easy to grasp. The illustrative feel also lends very well to the food related content and makes you think of fun (at least when I...
moblues.org
The strong bold typography and colors make this site feel very solid. There is a high level of quality to the look & feel of the design and lots of fine detail work across the website. That goes a long way in helping to communicate that the event itself will deliver...
seatgeek.com
Super clean design with just the right amount of subtle interaction to help you instead of impress you. For example check out the "more" drop down on the main navigation. I love the strong two column layout too, it keeps the page flowing nicely. All the sections have...
disqus.com
The website for disqus is clean and well organized. I like the the placement for the call(s) to action "sign up" & "learn more", while there's two of them treated equally visually, they are very centrally placed on the page. Then next to that is a really neat...
collaborativefund.com
This is a visually interesting design. Interesting in how it uses a little fun in the far right side to temp you to scroll and reward you with a little fun in the process. The illustration of the street and cars serves no other purpose but to get you to look. The...
jewellandginnie.com
The Jewell & Ginnie website designed by the folks at {e} house studio is another beautiful example of simplicity and organized content. The work is high concept to start with and the website design perfectly accentuates your ability to take it in while supporting that...
2011.beercamp.com
You've probably seen this year's BeerCamp site from ncude. If you haven't then let me be the one to show you this and blow your mind. Last year they wowed us with the 2010 Beercamp site, so they improved upon that with this year's rendition. Scrolling the page makes...
thisafterthat.com
I love the detail in this page with the info-graphics. The site flows pretty well as you scroll down both visually and content wise I think. I dig the mono-chromatic color palette and I like the strong angular shapes that the design employs. Mmmmm....ascii....
nikebetterworld.com
Looks like http://nikebetterworld.com is another Ian Coyle work of art. He is in a league all his own. - @desandro He certainly is! This site is fantastic! From a story telling perspective the site flows so well, it takes you from the home page down the closing note...
hungarianwinesociety.co.uk
Beautiful design elements come together to make a really great looking visual experience here. I really dig the shopping cart status box that follows you down the page as you scroll, I think I'm becoming a little bit of a sucker for that visual effect. Giovanni and I...
keithcakes.com.au
I like the header design, the logo with the navigation being placed in what looks like a speech bubble. Then the largely white background being broken up by a large horizontal section, really stands out strong. I like the sub navigation design too, the mouse over...
blog.lukesbeard.com
Tumbler blog off of lukesbeard.com. Really simple and beautiful layout with a super great looking type driven header design. The dark background makes the elements really show up strongly and the large type adds to the character. It's pretty cool to see the photo...
orderedlist.com
Love this really clean design, very open feeling too. The home page really focuses well on the things that make ordered list stand out, the work and the apps. The home page scans really well and completely tells the story of the company. I like the simplicity of the...
mailchimp.com
Check out the latest iteration of the MailChimp website. I really like how it's largely static, the main graphic that gets featured is the main story they want you to see. It could have been easily made into some sort of slide show, hurrah for holding back a little....
en.witflow.com
I like the chunky nature of this layout, the "blocky" sections and squared feeling really plays off the organic shapes when they're used really well. The pie graphic is kind of funny - literally a pie chart...? There's a ton of content delivered on this site and it's...
southernsavers.com
Wonderful design for the Southern Savers website. From the branding to the layout this site is gorgeous. I see now why Jason Beaird uses it as his case study example in his book. The branding is memorable and the little chipmunk is fun and helps set a laid back tone....
bi-lo.com
Beautiful new website for BI-LO grocery stores by the ever impressive team at e house studio. Aside from being a great example of organization and clean design it also just looks great. I love those "mega drop downs". There is a good deal of content on this site, and...
iamsubzero.com
Cool use of the fixed header/navigation and more interactivity on the sub pages. I can take or leave the dark background but it looks like the product itself is in a black container to it seems a very fitting choice.
Apple.com
In our screen cast Giovanni and I talk about the newness/updates to apple.com. First off it's not the overall website we're interested in it's the new interactions they've added. When you load the site the main navigation is darker and it "drops" into the site, then...
pixelfusion.co.nz
I like the way the different sections of this home page are done, the central element is the big slideshow and then more stuff as you scroll down the page. It's a single page site, largely static with the exception of that slideshow. I like the green and the...
theborsky.com
A nice simple looking website design that relies quite heavily on its typography for the layout. I dig it. Clear call to action with the green button in the middle of the page (though that shape doesn't communicate 'click me' instantly). I love the logo type in the...
madebyparachute.com
I love the detail work in this website design. The textures and edges to all the shapes are superb. My favorite part is how the logo type scrolls up under the globe part of the logo and shopping selection links stay fixed under it. That's just fun to watch over and...
childpsychologist.com.au
The first thing you notice when you visit this website is that the overall design really matches the name "Quirky Kid Clinic". The look and feel of the design is definitely "quirky", the illustrations match up well too. The textures are also quite wonderful too.
