Submitted by: Dan Spencer @demicreative Role: Designer & Developer I love this clean crisp layout. The "slide into" fixed header is a nice little interaction and surprise. It's moments like that when you fall head over heals for a site design for me. I like the...
I immediately love the content hierarchy on the home page, the shapes and spacing of the content groupings really let it ease into your view. The fixed header is a nice touch, especially the slight transparency as you scroll. Really loving the circle images and the...
Really fun responsive conference website design. I love how the main illustrations interact differently with the other screen sizes. The illustrations are also really fun too. Overall it's a lovely website for a conference and if the show is as good as the site they...
Really smart simple clean design. Love the color transformations with the background and footer area. Responsive layout too FTW.
Awesome effects, cool scrolling, one page design. Has a very friendly feel about it. Humanizes the studio. Submitted by: Sean Geng @seangeng Role: Designer & Developer Really fun website concept. The sidescroller layout with the illustrations is brilliant. The cloud...
Lovely little site for the brand new version control product for designers, LayerVault: layervault.com (nice work @kellysutton et al)— Daniel Burka (@dburka) April 24, 2012 Really clean and simple layout with some great additions like the rotating background on...
The Go Beyond Pixels website is clean and minimalist, yet it's beautifully designed with excellent elements throughout the site. The site uses customs fonts which make it that much more unique. The use of icons and clear copy makes it a site that you want to continue...
Submitted by: Lukas Vinclav Role: Developer What a great scrolling site design. I really like the interaction of the main navigation and the targeting of the content section on the page. The slight movement and readjustment is a very nice touch. The colors are really...
I love websites like this one. It's simple but the work and details speak for themselves. The mouseover on the pig/logo is brilliant. For such a minimal design I spent a lot of time looking over this site. You win!
Ooh, redux! The Center for Investigative Reporting is sporting a sexy new responsive look, too: cironline.org /via @kleinmatic— Responsive Design (@RWD) February 15, 2012 A fairly complex layout to start with the cironline.org handles as well on the smaller...
Cool concept and a cool design. I love the colors, the orange just kicks it off too. I like the content hierarchy of the home page, from featured designs, to designers to public content it's nicely stacked. I'm not super hip to the invite link being just an email, i'd...
Wow. What a visual feast. The lush layouts are highly reminiscent of upscale magazine design. I find designs like this, ones that emphasize visual design over interaction, are often the most dynamic. Each page is unique and varied. Some pages are massive splash images...
The ShopLocket site is a visual feast of illustration work and crisp graphics. I love the color usage and the overall vibe of the site. There are some cool little interaction pieces to get into on the home page too that make for nice surprises. Though I want the big...
Awesome concept and beautiful execution of this website. The responsive design details are nice and worth a study. I particularly like the fixed header and the "contact" link interaction. The signup page is also very nicely done. A super clean and minimal page around...
Really nice announcement website design for pixelivery.com. It has just enough info to entice you and the interactions with the scrolling links and responsive design are cool - which is what this needs to get you interested. Me. want. Shirts. Too!
This beautiful site takes full advantage of responsive design to deliver a compelling visual experience at every resolution. The massive imagery is nicely offset by asymmetrical text and bold, hard-lined shapes. In my humble opinion, stry.us seems to look best at...
A lovely responsive site for a non-profit that looks equally lovely: givecloaks.com /via @hotmeteor— Responsive Design (@RWD) April 23, 2012 A great idea and an interesting solution to a real problem. The website quickly tells the story of what this is about and...
The Editorial Wordpress template sales page is very effective. The main header image is really the only image on the page and it's used as sort of a collage to show off the template at work and further sell the idea that's it's designed for magazines. The content...
Beautifully designed responsive website. I love the simplicity of this design it's fairly minimal in it's approach but just skirts to the line. Plenty of content to get to know the team behind the company including a nice little video on their studio space. I also...
This is a visually expansive site. The imagery is stunning throughout and I like the added interest the typography lends. There are some CSS transitions in use that might be pushed a little more, but their existence at all helps to add some elegance to the experience....
We are proud to unveil this year's @dConstruct site: 2012.dconstruct.org See you in September!— Clearleft (@clearleft) April 23, 2012 The dConstruct conference is definitely a high-point on the web design community's conference calendar, and their new website is...
Visually, there is some good stuff going on here. The main texture is nice and color is used well to help frame out the site. The photos stand apart from the background and add a lot of vibrance to the page. Small touches of hand-drawn elements keep things feeling a...
The Queen City Merge conference website is nicely designed for sure. I love the colors and the wood background. The fixed main nav is a nice touch to the single page(ness) of it. Storm Troopers and Alice in Wonderland, love it!
The Verge isn't exactly new news in the design world. It's been around a few months. I happen to feel like it's a great experience in terms of taking in news/stories, both on the old laptop and on my iPad too. What are your gripes or loves for it?
Pretty tight design that allows itself to feel lose at the same time. The illustrations are what helps it achieve that. Simple mouse over animations here and there keep it interesting. Follow all that up with a nice responsive layout and you have yourself a damn fine...
The Playtend website is just pain fun. I love the monster and how it all ties in with the name. Taking a look at it in our screen cast review Giovanni and I spell out how much we enjoy this website.
Largely a simple execution technically speaking but visually it's super fun. I love the illustration style and the visual stories each little drawing tells to help further the overall story of location and experience. The type is also pretty much spot on with the...
Smashing Magazine is one of those industry staple websites right? Like Facebook, you mess with it people either love it or hate it. Giovanni and I explore the responsive design decisions in some detail (kinda) in our screen cast review. Overall we do really dig the...
We've written about Shawn Johnston's site design before here on UMS - we even did a screen cast of it. While this iteration isn't worlds different visually it totally is under the hood, it's a responsive implementation and a whole bevy of updated stuff. I really dig...
The Paper app home page is actually a sub page of the FiftyThree website. It's gorgeously clean and simple though. I absolutely love how the images and copy flow down the page being strongly gridded out but yet almost asymmetrical at the same time.
