We use Beanstalk here for our web design business and i've always liked Wildbit's apps. I noticed they'd redesigned the Beanstalk website a while back and always meant to put it in the gallery. So here it is. I like how the screen shots of the app are minimized next...
scribbleandtweak.com
This is a really strong design with the info-graphics that are employed, it brings such a deep detail to the website that it makes you really want to dig for more. The single page scrolling nature of this website design is well implemented here too. Each 'section' of...
webdesignfutures.co.uk
Here's a fun looking website design. The illustration of the tree, then with the pop up bubbles for each person's name that links to their detail page is pretty engaging. It makes me want to explore each person's information. I like the sub page design too, the...
letsmove.gov
The Let's Move website is a really nice mix of detail work and generality. I think the design is open in the sense that anyone can relate to it. It's youthful without employing comic sans, it's colorful without going too far off the deep end with color, it's got some...
launchlist.net (Pro)
The Launchlist Pro site design is as fun as the original free version. I love the animated clouds and icons/illustrations. The feel of this site is just great. Particularly the background image/pattern, it's very rich looking. One of the great surprises in this layout...
unitedstatesartists.org
There is a lot of neat interface work done on this website. From the US map on the home page made up of images to the side scroller on the projects page, it's engaging in both it's layout and interactions. I'm not totally wild about the black background, it seems to...
nordkapp.fi
Pretty cool looking single page site. I really like how the nav take a little bit to load and fades in to be just slightly different than it was before. Makes you really take notice of it. The stark black and white gives it a sense of class and style too. I also like...
pointlesscorp.com
Pointlesscorp.com is a project by Viget, and a it's a really fun website to discover. The overall design is very well done, very fun and very thorough. Largely just a small site to house Viget's 'pointless' project ideas, it really exists to show us all how truly...
jstraining.de
Pretty neat looking single page scrolling design. I love how the call to action is static and kind of follows you down the page. I dont' find that I miss a traditional navigation while looking over this site either, that's a testament to scrolling if you ask me.
stickybits.com
I really dig this big bold design. But at the same time that it's bold it's also quite soft and welcoming. The illustrations are almost 'child's toy' like, setting the tone for a fun experience. The sub pages and especially the blog are well done. Overall the...
ronlewhorn.com
I'm really impressed with the new look for @ronlewhorn's new site: http://t.co/bE2iSl6 - @trentwalton The illustration work is the heart of this website, largely just a portfolio it does the job it was designed for very well. Giovanni and I made a screen cast review...
espnw
This sports blog pretty much matches up with the overall ESPN visual style. The bold red and blue colors make it visually loud. But since it's focus is much narrower than the main site it can be much more toned down content wise, which is really nice. I like the...

chicago2011.drupal.org
The DrupalCon Chicago website is a wonderful mixture of illustration and solid layout. Almost every detail in the illustrations represent Chicago and Drupal Dev, very clever looing. I really like the line work on everything, the shapes/boxes match up perfectly with...
thecoastalcupboard.com
There is a ton of fine detail work built into this website design. It's so very thorough and I found myself spending like 30 minutes all told just looking at all the little corners of this site. Each page while not being 100% unique each time (which just isn't...
octophant.us
Found via @TrentWalton What a great portfolio / portfolio site from @phineas: http://octophant.us Animal hybrids have a special place in my heart, so does the Octophant... Super great illustration is the core of this website so the overall design elements shouldn't...
fe.rocious.com (v2)
Giovanni reviewed the previous version of the fe.rocious.com design so now it's my turn. I love this design, from the colors to the background image it's great. The main navigation layout is really fun, it borders on almost not looking like a navigation, but it pulls...
danhigbie.com
Really nice effect with the fixed nav area and the background, I love how they overlay and the way that looks when you scroll. The illustration work is fun and light hearted too. Nice slight transparency in the fixed footer. The sub pages are also different enough...
CSS-Tricks.com
Breaking down the new CSS-Tricks.com website design with Chris Coyier. From media queries to css transitions to the forum this site has it all.
inserviowebsolutions.co.uk
My favorite thing to see in a website design is someone who takes a concept that's really simple and does something fantastic looking with it. Like in the case of the Inservio Web Solutions website, by taking a relatively simple website and layering in some...
interlinkconference.com
Hat tip to Cris Coyier of css-tricks.com for pointing out this site & conference. Nice textures employed in the background and on the type treatments. I really dig the colors, the black and the light blue are really nice together on this site. The conference looks...
pinkturkey.com
There's really a lot to this website. The illustrations carry all the content in a strong direction, makes it interesting. I also like how it's a big mix up of a single page scrolling design and other deeper sub pages throughout. The "incubator" illustrations creeps...
erskinelabs.com
Blog design for Erskine Design. It's very Tumbler-like in it's basic orientation, with the media like segmentation of content. It's beautifully designed and executed too. I love how the header nav bar and content type icons slide up together to cover over the logo...
arpaonline.ca
Submitted by: Lea Alcantara (@lealea) Role: Designer & Developer It's a quantum leap to the future from where it was originally: static pages, no CMS, random sub-domains for no particular reason, outdated (dare I say ugly?) design, and it was just a general, unusable...
abutler.net
Nice bold layout and strong colors used in large areas make this design sing. I like the almost oversized sections and elements of this design. I also really like how each page is just a little bit different in terms of the content layout. That's a nice touch that...

Submitted by: Omar Noory (@thesearethings) Role: Designer & Developer We just finished our new and revamped site (a previous site of mine was on here: thisisallido.com). We're really happy with how it turned out! It uses some fun new CSS3 things like border-radius,...
gmedia.co.uk
Overall this is a fairly simple and straight forward design, but the diagonal lines make it stand out for me. I could take or leave the magenta color but I like the blue and light blue.
davidhellmann.com
The thing I like most here is the size of the illustration, it plays into the scrolling nature of the browser quite well. It's a little bit of an experience to scroll the thing down. When you do this, you come to the footer which is very nicely designed too. The...
radillustrator.com
I really like the background design for this site. There are also some details that I especially like, the "buy print" call to action is really smart looking. I also like the compact navigation "box" a great deal. I do think the "back to top" link is a little hard to...
