I love the header design, that illustrative use of the type with the diagonals looks really cool. The illustrations placed on yellow sticky notes also drive home the concept of the company behind the website. The sub pages lose some of the impact as they are all the...

Good looking illustrations and colors drive this design. It's fairly full of copy which could probably be reduced but it's generally laid out well enough to be scannable (even if I can't read it.) Nice limited use of the flash animations at the top and in the footer...

Interesting design here, the entire home page is nothing but a paragraph of copy. The typography is very well done and I love the interactions across this site, the navigation is really cleverly done like the rest of the website design.

You can check out the screencast review to hear in more detail what I thought about this site. But a quick run down here is that I like the beauty inherent in the typography and simplicity of the site. You don't need to have a site that has tons of pages and content...

I like the light and airy feeling of this design, the way the illustration is worked into the home page really adds to that too. There are some neat visual things happening with the design, the coloring and subtle textures are nicely used. Some things are neat but...

I like the look of this website design, it's inviting and really puts forward all the important info you'd be looking for on the home page then let's you dig into it within the sub pages - simply said I know but that's not always easy to do. I like the colors and the...

Good lord I love this website design. The interactions are wonderfully simple and grand. The feel of using this site is organic feeling as things fold out and flip down to let you read more about the creators, etc. The posts are pretty well written as well - on it's...

Forty Design and Marketing
Submitted by Sunny Thaper, @sunnythaper. Designer & Developer. I like the Fortyagency.com website a lot. It's unique but the first thing I noticed that makes is unique is actually the copy & overall vibe of the site. I really love the inviting tone to the copy, the...

Interesting colors and illustrations coupled with making the page scrolling go in an unexpected way make this simple 3 page website sell itself. It's clever looking and that might be all it needs. It's a simple "look me up and see" type portfolio website with a few...

Nice and interesting looking design. I love the large blocks working in the grid. The fixed header being oversized a bit is also a neat surprise when you scroll and then you notice the transparency. Great design.

I love this site, the subtle textures, wonderful typography and the illustration is pretty cool. I love the @font-face use here and flow from work samples to form makes this one of the better single page site's i've seen. I really dig how he's showing where the work...
walktowashington.org
I like the colors and the background imagery. It has an alarming feel to it which I think is the point, to draw you into the need to address this issue it's informing you of. There's some neat stuff visually going on with the boxes in the right hand sidebar on the sub...

Submitted by Lucas Modena, @lucasmodena. Developer. This site was built to show how a single graphic can become a vivid website through the html/css/javascript conversion process. This really is a neat website. I absolutely love the illustration and the concept behind...
thisfinger.com
Interesting website, there's not much to it structure wise but what is really working here is the main illustration/graphic, with just one image area they've completely and succinctly described in a visual way what the app is and how it works. They've done it quite...
vuletici.com
Another really nice portfolio design. I like the dark brown colors chosen on this site. It's just a nice simple layout and does what it needs to do.

I like the strong grid usage and the horizontal line coming in from the left. The typography is pretty good, except for it being so dark against the dark background. I get the feeling the designer is going for a vibe that makes you feel like you're in a dark movie...
intuitivedesigns.net
Love the colors and burst of color in the header area. I like how the content areas are set inside a slightly lighter colored box like that too. Makes the colors just come off really warm and inviting and yet dark at the same time. There's also some really nice...
weareacademy.com
Really an incredibly simple website. It's basically only two pages but it just feels larger than it is with it's really interesting use of type for layout elements. I love how a section of the type randomly changes position on the home page when you reload it. It also...
mercyonline.co.uk
Neat looking website design, I like the start black and with the images here and there. There's also a lot of javascript access to content, i'm never totally sold on doing that, but in this case it seems to work out pretty well. The typography is pretty clean on this...

Oh man, this site is just chock full of awesome work! As a portfolio website design it's tops in my book. One of the cooler blocks of work i've seen in some time. I love the intro slides/pages and the branding of this company is so cool. The site does what it needs to...

I love the asymmetrical layout with this website. It is really unique looking to me. The strong direction using the type also works as a bold statement on this site. I particularly love the portfolio item detail pages, those pages are really full of nice layout and...

Really pretty thorough single page design. Funny image to start off with too, the designer after a skate fall. I like the way the recent work is displayed, with the option to "just show it all". The footer is a nicely designed slice of the designer's life too, I like...

Found via: @MaxVoltar I can't stop looking at the redesign of http://carbonmade.com/. Every single corner is amazing. I love this redesign of carbonmade.com. The illustration work is just amazing, there's something tucked away in every little nook and cranny to...

capitol-college.edu
We don't feature a lot of university websites on UMS, not sure why, maybe it's that a lot of them are just huge and feel cumbersom to review. Not this one! I really like the header area of this website, the navigation is broken into three distinct sections and it's...

I love the soft feel of this design with the hard grid backed up by the gridlines in the background image. The colors are also really nice too. The type is also handled nicely, especially below the three main images in the slideshow. I do feel like the navigation...
