Pretty cool little gallery site here featuring sites that are single page in their design. I love to celebrate the "art directed" or "editorial design" website or post and this was a great find. Mostly featuring a slideshow as it's main ingredient it's still pretty...

I love the vibe and rhythm of this design. The spacing and readability in the layout are quite nice. I also love the playfulness that the designer has been able to convey with just typography. I'd love to see a little more character come through in the main...

This is a pretty incredible gallery site. The extremely regular grid is a perfect structural backdrop to display his hand crafted art. The dynamic movement of the page is complex in nature but totally intuitive once you see it shift the blocks around once. The fluid...

Nice strong use of red. I love a really bold statement like this and the subtle texture makes it just a little bit more than a big open field of color too. I like the dark color in the footer area and the almost yellow color for all the text elements. That's a pretty...

This may just be a template (says it's by Auré - whomever that is, might even be this designer) but I still want to review it. Let me know if anyone knows and I'll update here. There are definitely some things here that stick out as theme parts, like the social media...

Nice clean design. The stark black and white gives it a strong clinical/designer touch. I like the slideshow design on the home page it's both a little mysterious in it's presentation and slideshowey enough to entice users to click.

I love the vibe of this website design. The illustrations really sell the mood and the texture, almost pattern, in the background has such a nice rhythm to it for me I just love staring at it. I also dig the gray scale palette to this design, it gives it some extra...

Lovely detail work mixed with some nice textures. Love the colors too. I'm not wild about the single page scrolling design here, I think it would have more impact with that well designed footer to have more single pages to click open and sow off different elements...

I like the modular-ness of this design. I also kind of like the extreme hierarchy in the text in each box, everything is so big and loud color begins to really drive your eye around the page. The copy almost starts to act as what drives you to scan. I love the...

Really cool effect with the moving items at the top of the page. What is that some kind of parallax like effect used here? I love that, it really gives the site something to remember it by and what's odd is that this is a poker/casino like site and it's not really...

Found via @zomigi - Zoe Gillenwater Lovely minimalist #HTML5 and #CSS3 site. Some clever use of generated content too. http://icio.us/w0ybb0 I like the stark gray and darker gray palette and the minimal feel to this site. The fixed navigation is a nice touch too. What...

Small detail - that's really what this site is. Now we've seen site's that look similar to this layout right? But this one is just a little bit nicer than most and it's the small details that finish it off. The flourishes after the separator lines, the little twitter...

Love the layout of this page, the grid is nicely used here - especially the way the extra head shot sticks off to the side under the logo area. Speaking of the logo, I love that logo design and the colors are quite nice as well. The only negative thing I have to say...

I like the texture and cold glass imagery work that's gone into the background of this page. It's funny how the little details of a site can really help to tell the story. Not wild about so much flash in the sideshow but it doesn't detract and I could go either way on...

Wonderful photography and typography are what makes up this website. It's quite enjoyable if you look at it from a purely aesthetic point of view. Some of the multi-columns make my head hurt as I scroll up and down trying to read the page. Jay and I discussed that...

I really love the minimal design that Mark Boulton and crew does. It's just stark and beautifully done at the same time. From the hierarchy in the copy/text layout to the simple nature of making the most recent book published the main focus and having a very clear...

Here's Happy Cog's redesign of the Zappos.com. As expected it's epic in scope. I think what's interesting is the choice to use HTML5, that's not too daring of a choice but I think it can set the stage for all of us to not be afraid to use it anymore. This is a vast...

It was time for blinksale to get a face lift, it's also really great to see this app go to a new home that truly loves it. For this design I really love the clean clear call to action in the large(ish) orange button placed right beside the big screen shot of the app....

It's always great when you see something that's just visually awesome and then you see that technically it's super simple - man I just love that. This site has some really great typography and the colors just blow me away as does the super clean illustration work....

This website is beautiful typography, really well matched colors and textures all working together to make a nice simple layout great. Love it.

Nice concept, splitting the page in half, playing up the left vs. right brain idea. It's been done before so you have to commit to it to really make it work and I think Piotr Petrus really does just that. The thing that really sells it is the interaction that happens...

I like the illustrative quality to this design, the flourishes and how they interact with the foreground and background looks great. I also like the overall vibe to this design, it just feels interesting. Though, some of the content is hard to take in visually (no I...

Very stark, black and white design. I like the minimalism in regards to the palette. It really lends you to notice the grid behind the design and see that it's well followed. I like how the sponsor logos are handled in the right sidebar too. When you mouse over one...

I love that sea foam green color, that's just nice. There are also some nice little details in play here, the tab-like appendages that have the "next" and other link items are pretty neat placed up against the larger square boxes. I like the way it's also used for the...

This design is mostly a single page business card style website. I like it for the most part, cool way in which the links off to the other places of interest are done up within sentences instead of some kind of more traditional looking nav. I like the subtle icons too.

I'm really into the illustrative details in this site design. I'm not wild about the navigation's interaction, I think a slightly different treatment to how you access it, specifically making it way more obvious to the user, would take this site to the top. Overall...

Nice simple layout with some good flourishes tucked here and there. I love that robot illustration, if that doesn't get you to check out their twitter stream not much will. I like the heavy dark background that starts off the top part of this site and then you get hit...

I like most sites designed by Squaredeye we've come to expect a certain level of completion and design quality. This Barley's website doesn't disappoint. Each page is a well thought out example of good design chock full of nice detail work.

Awesome background image and placed on top of it is a nice black main shape. That combo really makes for a starkly designed page. The images really leap off the screen at you and pull you in. My favorite part is that logo too, dang that's a cool looking logo.

I really like the strong graphic boldness to this website design. The strong lines and blocky elements give it a nice grounded feel. There's also some nice subtle textures in the main shapes to keep the layout from getting boring looking. I do wish there was a bit of...
