I really like the strong typography in this design. The design grid is simple and the colors are chosen well. The think I like most about this website is the tone of the copy. It's laid back and very open, yet still retains a formal feeling, like Dan is going to do a...
Sketchbook Project
Pretty cool concept and nice site too. It's pretty much a typical blog layout but the header is very nicely done. I love that illustration and display type used. There is some nice hierarchy in font sizes in the copy too, it's subtle but well chosen. Overall rather...
Things We Left on the Moon
This isn't a real site, but it's a great example of HTML5/CSS3 and what it can do. Just study it, enjoy!

Submitted by Bermon Painter, @bermonpainter. Designer & Developer. Well I ran across the Unmatched Style folks at LessConf and never really realized that you were based in SC. It's quickly becoming by favorite gallery site so I thought I'd submit my personal portflio....
andrewreifman.com
Submitted by @andrewreifman. Designer & Developer. Pretty simple site, almost entirely a slideshow. But there's something cool about just letting your work speak for itself. Overall though, I like the cool color and the arrow design. The interaction of the elements...
Montessorium
I love the smooth design in this website, the colors are very warm and engaging and the typography is very well paired together. The site is pretty straightforward and simple but it just pulls me in. There isn't a lot of diversity with the sub page layouts, that could...
medicalspark.com
Nice clean design, I like the faint blues and background image of the torn-like paper. The navigation is concise and I like how the main pages really large and blue and the sub pages lesser in hierarchy. Like a mini site map on every page - clever.
rockbristol.com
I like the colors, the dark background and the pinkish color for the highlight spots. I love the visual hierarchy on the home page, as you look down the page the images are smaller and smaller. The interactions on the 2nd level section is nice too. Cool site.
thevisualclick.com
Pretty simple layout, but it looks great. Love the dark blue background and the lighter blue worked together and the lighter/brighter yellow highlight to make a really color combo. There's something cool about keeping your site very simple like this and just providing...
analoguestudio.de
Nice clean lines and I love the circle worked into the design. I'm not wild about that navigation interaction, i've seen it on a lot of other sites and it's never done anything for me. My favorite part of this site is the contact form being placed in the large circle,...
Harry Roberts (update)
The latest iteration of Harry Roberts' website. This one uses the 960 grid system and some minimal colors. I always enjoy Harry's creations, his commitment to keeping his HTML/CSS pure is to be commended.
bringittofruition.net
The design is a bit plain without the illustrations in the header and footer but overall the design is tight enough to pull it all together.
Auto Magical
This site is just crazy. It's incredibly simple in what it does, and clearly the illustration is what drives it. But, man it's awesome... I love illustration like this, and I really love it when it's used to totally make a concept cool. It's a splash page for...
dsignart.org
I really like how the blue/misc colored elements are tossed around the page. The typography is pretty tight too. The thing I love about this site is how the colors change up from page to page, it keeps me engaged even though it's an incredibly simple design change....
prismicreflections.com
There's a lot to this design that you see on other sites, but this one is executed nicely as well as looks good. I particularly love the extra effort that's put into the main large image area that showcases recent work on the home page. That's like a mini site design...
eaglerockyachtclub.com
Submitted by Craig Fowler, @fowleryo. Designer. I love it. But then again, I designed it, sooo. The Eagle Rock Yacht Club is a dodgeball league, that's also a social club, but also a way for us to give back to our community through donations and volunteer work. We're...
What’s Up Cupcake?
Submitted by @conceptculture. Designer & Developer. Fully custom Joomla site built for a Texas specialty cupcake and dessert shop. Really clever and simple site design. Don't let the detail work from the pictures and drop shadows fool you, this is a simple layout with...

This site uses a lot of forward thinking HTML/CSS techniques to really build depth. The large animated background image of Clint is pretty sweet. It must be amazing to get to work with such cool imagery. Check out the screen cast for our full review.
kidbombay.com
Really really great simple clean design here on Kidbombay. Love the textures, the @font-face use (keeps it clean) and the visual hierarchy is well done. Clear color used simply to denote calls to action and the images really stand out off the page. Really great design...
Paul Frank Art Attack
I like the fun feeling of this layout, the colors are loud and the illustrations are cool. It just has a nice 'pop' feeling to it, largely due to it being about Paul Frank i'm sure.
2010.dconstruct.org
Aside from what looks like a quite awesome conference to attend, the design of the dconstruct 2010 website matches with great design. From the colors to the conceptually matching design elements this site is one of my favorites in a good while. I love the colors and...
ecoforms.com
This site is deceptively simple. I love the fixed nav here and the surprise elements when you roll over them, subtle but a nice little touch - like the email signup. I LOVE that the designer of this site resisted the urge to make it a single page scrolling site in...
alexbuga.com (v9)
This site blows my mind. We've looked at Alex's site's in the past, most of my criticisms are going to remain the same however. Mostly this site is what to me a traditional designer's flash site becomes, but only done in javascript and HTML/CSS. I will say that this...
forrst.com
Mainly just a single page website on top of a web application. The illustrations sell it, the cleverness in delivery, "log in" just kills me... I like the call to action with the "apply below" button that scrolls you to the form, not totally necessary but it's a nice...
Finere Festival
Man, love this site. This is a great single page scrolling site. It's clearly using the long page format to it's advantage in a fun and visually exciting way. This is also a great example of good visual rhythm as you scroll down the page. Great site.
BillSims.com
I like some of the details here, the slideshow arrow designs and the slide out menu that lays over the slideshow are nice. I could take or leave the colors, but the hierarchy worked in with the three column grid works well for me. I like the overall layout pattern of...
andyknight.com
Love the oversized header design, it really keeps the design anchored well visually. The two column design is nice here, not only is it visually split but the content is split conceptually (at least slightly but still related to the page you're on) as well. Really...
thewebsqueeze.com
Really cool content, but it's also a good design. I like the large feeling to the navigation elements and there is a lot of things here and there around the site that interacts in clean and interesting ways. The footer tool bar thing is also a nice touch. Some of the...
Obox Design
Submitted by David Perel, @obox. Designer. Our main focus for the new site was to make it lighter than the older version and easier to navigate and shop. I suppose I could go on forever but I will just link you to an overview (if/when you have time to scan it) I can't...
