Submitted by: Ivana Setiawan (@ivanasetiawan) Role: Designer & Developer I like the imagery/shapes in the background on the home page and the header type design on the sub pages. It's a nice unique looking design. The dark rich colors also add to setting a nice visual...
lconnolly.net
The Iconnolly.net website has a bold look to it. I like the big strong lettering, but my favorite part is the interactions. I love how the colors fade out when you mouse away from things. The colors go from being very bright to dimming down, that isn't something I've...
quotezuki.com
Cool concept, and it's executed well. I love the logo and naming concept. It's fun and brings the right type of vibe to a website that's made up of quotes. It's very accessible visually.
ipolecat.com
Strong illustrations and bold typography like this always rock! This site is straight up wonderful. Simple execution of the website itself, only complicated up a little with the jquery single page scrolling, but otherwise it's generally a straight forward site design....
chriswi.be (V2)
Redesign of a site we've previously featured. I liked the site a lot then and I really love it now. Really great textures and the illustrations are just super. I love the whimsical look of the work too. I'm really glad he kept the helicopter one!
waruntold.com
I love the background texture and other textures that build up this page. I particularly like the navigation design. By having the main 4 navigation items look more like marquee areas the experience is very focused and simplified. It's a bold move design wise, but...
ideaware.co
Excellent detail work in this website. I love the animated clouds and the other little experiences you find as you click and move your mouse around the home page. The illustrations also add a nice finish to the overall detail and quality of the work here.
Usman Group V3
We've featured the usman group website before, they always present a nice clean website design when they re-design. This one is no exception. Except I think this is maybe the best of the sites for theusmangroup.com i've seen yet. I like the fixed information form on...

For The Record
Submitted by Simon Foster, @simonstretch. Role: Designer & Developer Well this is my site so anything I say won't be too impartial, this site is an experiment in using CSS3 and HTML5 to display infographics. Really cool experiment using CSS3 & HTML5 like the man says....
dropr.com
I quite enjoyed the browsing experience on dropr.com. It's pretty varied and deep. I really love the animation on the home page and very much like how the pages change up as you go through the content. There are also lots of little surprise interface details here and...
campwapo.org
One of the latest client creations from @trentwalton and the team at Paravel. The site is simply beautiful, the textures and overall feel of the site transport me back to when I was at summer camp as a kid. I once read somewhere that someone said Trent and Reagan...
welovecreativity.com
Submitted by Blaine R, @wlcreativity. Role: Designer & Developer. Deceptively simple website design. I like the stark gray and white design, but there's actually a lot of well done detail to be discovered. From the roll overs used across the site to the bread crumb...
platform45.com
Submitted by Neil Henegan, @neilhenegan. Great simple straightforward website. I love the illustrations and the depth that all the detail work has. Really strong sub pages, with each one being pretty unique in it's own right.
boobbaby.co.uk
NIce soft subtle coloring and feel. I like the type too, very fitting. Nice use of a big drop-down as well on the products nav item, really helps keep the rest of the site clean.
zachwoomer.com
Love the editorial nature of this overall website design. The illustrations are really great in that they communicate a personality for Zachary that you really can't help but like. Creepy mutant animal people hybrid imagery aside (I kid, that stuff is awesome) this...
aarronwalter.com
Nice clean and professional looking design, but I especially like the experience of using aarronwalter.com. As I read blog posts and move from page to page on this website I can't help but notice just how much it actually reminds me of listening to one of Aarron's...
lambertstreethandlebarclub.co.uk
We're late in posting this site since it was meant for November (Movember) but it's still as nice now as it was then. Love the typography. It's now a thank you page, but you guys should check it out just the same.
bessiesmithcc.org
Nice understated design. I like the clean straight lines and overall approach to the layout on this website. I really like the sub page navigation design in the right sidebar area too.
heathwaller.com
I like the purposefully loud color palette. The designer is playing with the color vibration issue but in a fun way I think. The large strong type also supports this. I also really dig the big background images as well.
wearesignals.net
Cool black and white design. Largely black and white anyways. I like the off kilter imagery used on the site, like the buildings set sideways, etc... It's a very stark and fun design.
siteoptimizer.co.uk
I like the large shapes of bold & bright colors, that makes the site really stand out and your eyes are just drawn straight to that content. In that the design is successful. It makes me take in what the service is all about just by scanning those headlines/keywords....
panoetic.com
Submitted by Peter McClory, @pmcclory. Role: Designer. Fantastic retro style and use of Typography. Good use of jQuery for the portfolio and the Jobs / 10 Reasons / Great team links. I like how the portfolio thumbnails are in a focused, clean environment, whilst...
Creativepayne
Submitted by Aaron Payne, @creativepayne. Role: Designer & Developer. The website plays loosely off of fifties style posters. The overall look is supposed to be friendly but not overly to the point of looking unprofessional. I wanted to create a more illustrative look...
foothillsfallfestival.com
Really intense design for the foothillsfallfestival.com site. The colors & textures have been superbly chosen to reflect the fall. The background animation of the clouds is also pretty cool. This is just a site that has so much character it's hard to not notice it....
defyndesign.com
The thing that makes me look deeper at this site design is the gradient on the section headers along with the scrolling movement. I assume it intentional but it all moves, when elements are clicked, at a fast speed, the page scroll the slideshow speed all are set the...
shellycooperdesign.com
Nice single page layout for shelycooperdesign.com. I like the texture and soft colors. The slight transparency in the fixed header is a nice touch. It looks like she puts out some nice stuff in Dribbble too: http://dribbble.com/ShellyCooper
hellobar.com
From a content & communication standpoint there isn't a ton of depth here, there's really only a couple of screenshots to show off the app. But it's a nicely designed single page with really vibrant colors and nice illustrations. This might be all it needs to stick in...
