Submitted by Adelle Charles, @adellecharles. We really like the Fuel Brand inc. website. Jay and I did a screen-cast review of it. It's a pretty memorable experience, it's more than your standard javascript interaction styled website. The interactions are very well...
vanillaforums.com
Really very simple page for this software website. I like the non complexity of the design and limited color palette. It really works well with the name "vanilla". What I like most isn't shown in the above screenshot but the '8 Reasons Why You'll Love Vanilla' grid...
uptrending.com (redesign)
Submitted by Andy Brewer, @andybrewer. Designer & Developer. We've featured uptrending.com before, and as always the designs are good. I think this is one of the best so far, I love the simplification of the content displayed on the home page. Keeping it clear and...

Submitted by Brad Madigan, @bmadigan. Designer & Developer. I love personal/professional websites like this one. Places where web professionals put up work samples and blog posts side by side. Often they are projects that are worked on just for fun, it normally shows...
McCain for Senate 2010
This is probably one of the best website designs i've seen for a political candidate. First here is that the branding is really well done, the McCain logo is top-notch. That sets the foundation to build on for the website, things could have gone downhill fast from...
Electric Pulp
Relaunch of Electric Pulp's website. Often imitated but never reproduced, they created one of my favorite websites with their past design and with this relaunch they've continued with that same theme. The background image is immaculate and I love the feel the type...
arnaudbeelen.be
Line based and really feels like a classic design firm type website. I love it. Reminds me a lot of Khoi Vinh’s Web Site, subtraction.com a lot on the sub pages. Probably just the strong black lines doing that. I really like this home page, the random feeling to...
177designs.com
Really cool, single page site. I like the fixed header on this site and the large images of the design samples with the smaller ones worked on top of them like that look really nice. The type is at times a little too thin and difficult to read given the low contrast...
digitalpodge.co.uk
Wow. I was a little overwhelmed and confused at first when I came to this site but then I was compelled to explore it more. I'm amazed by all the different infographics and the sheer amount of information they convey - some in ways I would have never thought of which...
intraligi.com
Really simple "old school" looking design. I like that a lot about this site, the grid is nice with the images worked into it in such interesting ways. There's not much here aside from the work samples and that's okay when they look so good.

This conference has a great brand which has been translated into a great website and they've even thought of a lot of small places to implement it like in their video, loading screen, favicon, a mobile version of the site - and even the send button on the contact...
justmademyday.com
Lovely site design. I love the cool colors and the rounded corners, it really makes this site feel calm and inviting. There's some really neat little things going on execution wise on this site too, like check out the top two form fields, nice touch! I like how the...
notoriousdesign.co.uk
Really awesome textures at work on this design. I also love the hugeness of it, though it can at times work against it. This site design says fun to me and I like to think of the designer really having a great time as she designed and built this site.
chapeltowndt.org.uk
Really great color palette, I love the subtle green/gray hues here. The large central image over the 3 column grid is a classic layout and done well here with just being clean and precise. The typography of the content areas might be a little too simplified, I feel...
shinyfrog.net
I like the tiny detail in this design. The modular icon pieces are also really well done. The subdued color palette also allows the work samples to pop out really well. The contact form is also a really interesting design.
speakforthetreesbook.com
Submitted by Kelly Packer, @creativesoapbox. The site reflects the simple elegance of the book ‘Speak For The Trees’ and serves as a main point of purchase. The design is inviting with clear points of action. FoxyCart was utilized to create a seamless shopping cart...
Jeff Wong Design
Probably the best 'blogger' blog design i've ever seen. I love it, it's clean and minimal. All the elements are very large, and the effect of that just visually pulls you in, you feel enveloped, especially if you have a big monitor. It does all that largely with a lot...
suiepaparude.ro
Really interesting layout. I'm not totally sold on if it works or not. Give the screen cast review a watch and hear more of what Julia and I thought. I definitely find myself exploring it and digging deeper, so I think the design has done it's job. It also really...

Wonderful illustrations help keep this single page site interesting and engaging. I love the top left illustration and how it loads different each time but you can also click it to see all the different illustrations - very fun! The whole site has a nice fun feel, the...
interactivists.co.uk
That's about the biggest logo i've ever seen on a website. That said, I love it. Strong and bold, those shapes are just nice to look at. The header design on this website is really sticking in my brain. There isn't very much content to sink into on this site outside...
ernesthemingwaycollection.com
Submitted by Jeremy Mansfield, @brandaiddesign. Designer & Developer. With the Hemingway site, we wanted the viewer to feel like they were getting a top-down view of a Hemingway writing desk, and staring at his journal. This opened itself up to some fun and creative...
ribbonsofred.com
I love ribbonsofred.com! This site is so beautifully simple and full of perfect little details. It's minimalism at it's best in my opinion. The color palette is a simple red(ish) and gray so things that are important look important, the typography uses hierarchy in...
getmediacore.com
Great details make the difference on a website design, this site has it for sure. The main type treatment and the header navigation have some top notch detail work. The 3 column grid is followed very nicely and cleanly. It all makes for an extremely polished...
danielhellier.com
Submitted by Daniel Hellier, @danielhellier. Deisigner & Developer. Daniel Hellier's personal website is one of the better side scrolling designs i've seen in a while. Both Julia and I like this site in our screen cast review. We liked the lines that connect and pull...
Erskine Design (v2)
Erskine Design is one of those websites that's been around for a while but I've just not put in the gallery here at UMS yet. It's a simply gorgeous website. Really basic two column layout with minimal color, which in my opinion makes the design and composition of this...
techadventuredc.com
Just a fun looking website for a conference. I love the illustrations across this site and how the designer used some standard 3rd party things, like the facebook network widget, and made it fit within the illstrative design. I'm not as in love with the single 'long'...
2ammedia.co.uk
This is a pretty interesting looking site design, it's using a picture of type as it's background image with type overlaid on top of it, and they make it work! It's clean and uses muted colors for the most part, which really make the calls to action links really pop...
ning.com
The new(ish) design for the ning website/homepage is a really nice rework. I love the simplification of everything, sign me up is the first real option here with previews of networks right next to it using big bold pictures. I do like how they are handling the sign up...
colly.com
Found Via @elliotjaystocks Beware: don't visit @collylogic's new site because it's so lovely it'll make you want to give up design and kill yourself. http://colly.com Simon Collison's new personal website is a doozy. It's a great example of something that I hope to...
kikiandbree.com
Kiki & Bree is a twin apparel website, that alone is an interesting concept for a business. The design of the site is pretty straight-forward, I like the photography it's what really sells the website for me. It's clean and crisp photography that was clearly well...
