I love the large orange shape to the left of the page in the background. It reminds me of the golden ratio a little bit when you put that together with the other elements on the page. The smaller iPhone screen size of this responsive implementation is pretty good....
carcoversdirect.com
Great looking website for Car Covers Direct. The navigation design is dead simple, even with the drop-down style. The responsive execution is very well thought out, check that nav change on the iPhone.
happycog.com
Happycog.com is everything you would expect it to be. It's well designed from code to color and is a solid representation of evolution on the web. What I feel is consistently strong with every new design is the tone and personality the content delivers and how it ties...
stationstreetpgh.com
The color scheme screams hot dog. And I immediately became hungry. Interesting use of infographic-style for the menu item descriptions. Hot dogs are generally a pretty simple thing to order, but this puts some love and fun into it. The color for hot dog and Heinz...
nd.edu
The new University of Notre Dame website is already a classic. The responsive approach and superb details make this worth every second of your scrutiny and study. I found this via this great interview about nd.edu here. I really like this answer to why the team chose...
nclud.com
The new nclud site design is a nice example of advanced trickery and nice narrative. I love how things "unfold" for you as you mouse around. The animations are nice as well. The way the work samples slide into view is beautifully done. They even made it responsive too!
greygoose.com
you don't have to drink vodka to appreciate the beauty of the new grey goose site: bit.ly/aOk47Z— Bob Galmarini (@bgalmar) February 1, 2012 The greygoose.com website is simply beautiful. Combining both responsive design and a vertical parallax effect to most...
frankchimero.com
Okay, holy crap. Sometimes a site like this comes along and it makes you stop and rethink your design career. I'm done for the day...
fortysevenmedia.com
Beautifully designed and well written the new FortySeven Media site is a model for us all. I especially like the use of the slideshow to tell the story of what they do as well as who they are instead of just showing recent work off. It's also responsive and has a few...
weightshift.com
New Weightshift site design makes me happy. There's such a simple artistry to this website, there always has been, but this newest responsive design is the best so far. The subdued colors make you focus squarely on the work first. Also the way things are named and...
wearyoubelong.com
I'm a sucker for the hand-drawn and illustrated look, but it's got to be relevant. On this site, that's exactly what you get - and it's well done too. Excellent font pairing, nice little offset iconography and overall well "tailored" page. (Yes, I love a good pun...
beetle.com
Beautifully executed vertical parallax website design for beetle.com. They've kind of become known for having a mind blowing web experience and again with this site they deliver. The vertical scrolling works so well here because there's a narrative to be delivered....
zizzi.co.uk
I like the sketchiness to the background imagery. The overall experience of this site is fairly non-linear, in that each page or section has some different look & feel details here and there. That keeps it fairly interesting. It's also one of the few times i've come...
orestis.nl
Nice single page, responsive layout. I love the background texture and the weird illustrations - they're just fun. Beautifully designed across screen sizes too.
eyescreamdesign.com
There's a good deal of coolness going on with this website design. I love the slideshow interactions and the work done on the "read more" links under each of the three marquees at the bottom are just so clever it makes me mad. The most beautiful part is the responsive...
macdonaldhotels.co.uk
Some of the words you want to associate with a hotel are comfort, luxury, and clean. That pretty much sums up my overall first impression when I came to this site. The colors are warm and classy. The textures are soft and tactile.The typography and layout is clean and...
ducttapeandglitter.com
Duct Tape & Glitter is quite the clever studio name and their site does a fitting job of representing "Design + Creative" well. There's an overall solid feel to the whole construct of the site. The layout is straightforward and the graphic work is clean and...
attopartners.com
Really nice interactions down the page and a superbly done responsive design makes me happy on attopartners.com. I love the contrast of the big circles and then the square images as you move down the page. That background pattern is simply beautiful too.
planetpropaganda.com
Planetpropaganda.com a nice tightly designed experience. From the oversized main images on the home page to the flow of all the subpage content detail it's just superb.
castirondesign.com
Really great vibe here with the slight textures and typographic choices. I love the colors and how it ties in so seamlessly with the look and feel of the prints and other work they have to offer. I like the main navigation being off kilter like that too, once you...
the-neighbourhood.com
Love the header illustration and how it's fixed so when you scroll it kind of covers up with the content. Nice adaptive layout too, it fits all the content in really well on my iPhone. I really dig the differences in the main list page and the post detail pages,...
thislandishovland.com
Some really beautifully done vertical style parallax design going on here. I love how the sky and mountains fold into each other. Wonderful!
focuslabllc.com
Focus Lab is a repeat DE-fender (of awesomeness) here on UMS. Last summer they launched a stellar site for themselves and now they’ve gone and done the same again. The new site maintains a strong sense of typography, balance, and color that the last one had. There are...
acko.net
Undoubtably one of the coolest things I've seen in while for a design element on a website. Just go here and scroll...
studiosynergia.pl
I like a lot of design elements here, the large main image and the fixed header - the type and tone of it is pretty nice. There are some interaction elements that don't make sense though, like the horizontal slider below the main image, I can't figure out what it does...
dylanbaskind.com
Really novel looking illustrations and I love that it's very starkly read too. The fixed navigation with the arrow that slides over based on the section you're viewing feels nice as you scroll down the page. Lovely site design.
learnlakenona.com
This site immediately serves its primary purpose: to get you to engage. I love the stunning graphics and the clever loupe slider that when interacted with offers a horizontal parallax effect. The mega-nav has a couple of winning points to it too. First, there’s a...
sustainableoperationssummit.com
I love this design, the animation in the header is mesmerizing, in a good way I think. Super awesome lineup, Bill Clinton? I just love the illustrations of NYC and how it's echoed from the header to the footer but night at the bottom. Slick.
ericbarse.com
Beautifully designed portfolio site for Eric Barse. From the illustrations (they're different on each sub page) to the responsive layout it's very well done. The footer is very cool and also built to be responsive to screen widths which such a nice detail to pay...
withassociates.com
Really neat idea to redesign your site every month. Check out the backlog of designs from With Associates.
