Really nice looking web design agency website. In many ways it's pretty much standard fare for web in that it has all the hallmarks of an up-to-date with trends studio website. What makes the difference here is the focus on craft that this website displays, it's all...
css-tricks.com
Recent redesign of Chris Coyier's website css-tricks.com is a top-notch rework of an already classic website. There's really a lot going on with this design, while being majorly simplified from the previous iteration. From the slightly responsive/liquid design to the...
Courier
Gorgeous, gorgeous website design. Tons of little detail work to make you drool. It has that familiar "Apple" vibe but also it's own personality. I love the interactions on the little screenshot to show the details of how it works, along with the well placed...
Quipsologies
As @Squaredeye said: "Beauty of the grid at work" I couldn't agree more Matthew! From the color coded categories to the general layout of this website, I love everything about it. The main four column grid used here comes off chunky at first but once you look around...
atlantawebweek.com
Pretty awesome looking single page site for the Atlanta Web Week coming up. Damn I want to go but can't... I love that illustration of the city on the left and the simple layout really works well to take in all that's happening really quickly.
newadventuresconf.com
Website for the New Adventures Conference. First off i'm jealous of those going and would love to be there. Now for the design: check out the screen cast first. Love the little detail stuff on this site, like the hover states on the main illustrative sections on each...
tijuanaflats.com
This site is off the charts crazy looking and I love it. It reminds me of skateboard graphics from the 80's. Like one of those awesome Rob Roskopp decks my buddy used to have. The fixed nav is really startling as you scroll down the page or click on links, the sheer...

I like the off center grid/layout and the wolf and elk are epic in their own right. Pretty simple website overall with not much changing from page to page. Having a little more variance would take this good looking site to great places I think.

Gio and I did a screen cast review of this site, so you can get the full report there, but generally we loved the site. We both liked the off-kilter design, the right side being heavier and the general level of detail make this a really great website design. The...

Pretty cool looking fixed-header design, I like the sketchy line idea here. Then the nice illustrations make the site really interesting looking. Having clear page sections also makes the overall experience clear and obvious. Nice site.
Threadless.com Website Review
In many ways Threadless.com is very similar to unmatchedstyle, they are both galleries one kind or another, the major difference is Threadless is an e-commerce website. Looking through Threadless with some eye on the details reveals that the managers of this site are...
mintran.com
I love the cloth looking textures in this design, they are well done and look convincing yet not over the top too. The colors give this a nice homely feel as well. I like the icon detail work as well, having it go from semi-transparent to solid white background is a...
expressionengine.com
Nice clean open design for the new Expression Engine website. I like that it's a pretty straight forward approach, given this website's audience, it has to be a pro design but not too crazy, we just want to get in and get out in regards to the info and this design...
nomorededicated.com
Nice clean and well done "micro-site" (For the record, hate that term). Visually it's very tight, the graphic elements are all sharp and well done, even the videos are super slick. Watch our screen cast of the site for a more complete review. It's all but a single...
schwyzkultur.ch
I really like the type selection on this website. There is also a nice hierarchy in the layout as well, nicely done.
MSNBC story pages
MSNBC has redesigned and relaunched their story page design. Really focusing more on reader engagement than simple page views. There's so much going on in these pages it's overwhelming for sure. I do like the little icons that hover over on the right hand side of the...
wingcheng.com
Really interesting idea for displaying a portfolio of work. I like the idea that the initial images are all sketches that then open up to the full work. Was a bit disappointed that the text was all images though. See what Julia and I had to say in our screen cast...
baneydesign.com
Pretty nice clean looking creative agency site design. I like the clean open feel to it. The fixed footer is an interesting touch, i'm not sure it "makes" the site, but it's nice.
box.net
Pretty straight forward webapp website, but I love the slick looking icons, that's what really sells the overall experience for me. The other thing I note on this website is that there really is a ton of information/content throughout. It's the information...
awesomejs.com
This site has tons of character, with the rampaging robot illustration. Gio and I talk further about it in our screen cast review. We love the design, especially the illustration work. There is also a really nice level of detail work and craft put into this website...
visualnotion.com
Love these colors, and the icons across the site are nice. The home page is very scannable and easily readable. The content is organized clearly as well. I really like the image of the astronot but I can't place the context on why it's there from the content on the...
fflick.com
Submitted by Marc Hemeon, @hemeon. Designer. Really a very cool idea here! The design is very well done too IMHO, that's a lot of information to get across on one screen and it's done so that the page is very quickly taken in. Perhaps it's just the use of the movie...
baytowage.co.uk
Very nice looking design, loving the texture and details. Also a great use of @font-face on the design too, keeping the type up to snuff visually and active. Check out the full screen cast review to hear more.

Interesting color palette on this website. The pastels are kind of unique from what I normally see being submitted here at UMS. I like the nice clean, heavy text feel to the design and the icons are nice looking too. I particularly like the site most as you scroll...
stephencaver.com
I love the large typography employed on these pages, the shapes just leap out at you then it's all backed up with the larger blocks of nav items. The nav items are basically placed on the page twice above the fold, I'm not sure that's totally necessary but it does...
claudiucioba.com
Loving the minimal clean type based layout here. I also dig the stark black and white with the red highlight. Nice clean grid that you can see clearly and easily make out the visual hierarchy in what you should be reading first. I know the note says the work in the...
foundationsix.com
Very thorough design, from top to bottom there's not a spot on this website that hasn't been given some TLC. The subtle texture and gradient, mixed so perfectly with just the right typefaces give the design a very inviting look & feel. There's not a ton of content on...
tuispace.com
Interesting design here, I like how you can change out the background images as the user. I like a lot of the other aspects to the design as well, like the large box/shape that all the content is in for each page. It just has a nice feel to it with the set background...
hype-nation.com
Nice use of the red and black here. I like the feel of the blocky type and nice thin lines in all the underlying shapes. I do feel like there's a sense of split focus on the top-half of the page and the big slideshow setup. They even do a scroll-down focus when you...
joshsullivan.me
Just a single page design, largely a business card type website, but man-o-man is it great. I love that whale illustration and the way it's treated, wonderful texture work across the page too. The only thing I have to complain about is that I want more website!
