Good straightforward design is always good to review. I like this site for it being just a really pro design. It has good clean call to action and simple color scheme that makes it a strong design. I love the sidebar layout/details on the sub pages the most.
sleekdesignstudio.com
Well done, almost retro feeling design. I like the iPhone screen size design a lot here. The play from the big squarish buttons against the larget circles helps the vibe of this site really come out. Then the blog design is also a very nice variant that goes along...
radoorco.dk
Really nice straight forward design that has some pretty good detail work. The typography is well done and there are subtle interactions that pay off. I especially like the large slide out contact form and they way you progress through the fields as steps in an array...
viljamis.com
Beautifully designed responsive website. I love the minimalism and simplicity exhibited here. The little down arrow on the main navigation is so subtle and beautifully worked into this design it makes me smile.
johnjacob.eu
Very nicely designed adaptive experience here on Johnjacob.eu. The funny little illustrations in the footer add a nice flavor to the main page, but the real surprise is in store as you make your way through the other pages. They are each uniquely designed and have...
v5design.com
Some neat interaction elements here. The logo on mouseover gives you a message for a new design coming soon. Then on the large green icons there's an animated mouseover that seems to keep going a few seconds after you move away. I also dig the large tooltip messages...
nicetripper.com
When you get down to it, nicetripper.com isn't really breaking down any barriers when it comes to design. The site is very simply structured and has almost no complex visual interactions. It makes strong use of photography, big buttons and pastels. All this is great...
joshsullivan.me
Josh has himself a nice looking one-pager here. The recent popularity of Designers.mx (which is an amazing app of music and masterpiece co-founded by Josh) certainly helps add a sweet spot to the site. There doesn't seem to be much use to the nav anchoring down the...
lor.in
Very clever looking design. I like the long page with the elevator going down through the mountain a lot. I'd love to see the final two pages to finished just to see what he'll come up with.
jlern.com
Jlern.com is an interesting experiment in interface design. The structure is pretty much like Chris Coyier's infogrid. Each 'page' is one leaf of a flexible accordion that expands when clicked. In theory, its a pretty cool idea. When you get down to it, having pages...
alyssalichner.com
Alyssalichner.com has a beautiful handle on earthy, rich color. The site is just a portfolio and contact point for Alyssa and does a goo job of showcasing a simple approach to web design rooted in texture and typography. I'm particularly ford of the form fields. Their...
unify.unitinteractive.com
Great looking minimal feeling design for the Unify website. I love the simple columns that flow into each other and the way the far right column/blocks of stuff overlay the page sections gives it a really nice sense of dynamism. It's an adaptive layout too which makes...
salylaurel.es
This site is mostly in the gallery here because of the way the slideshow is implemented. I like the vertical sliding and the illustration work is really nice as well. I like how the top of the site differs from the bottom part but not too terribly much, just enough to...
mikebusby.ca
Mikebusby.ca is a nice site creates an open sense of space and depth. The parallax effect is pretty sweet; its nothing new these days but, its an effect that is great under the right circumstances. The horizontal scrolling action goes well with the landscape view. I...
tse-webdesign.be
I like the large chalkboard illustration and I really like the way it loads when you first hit the home page. There are some other kind of nifty animated interactions here and there across the site. Overall I think it's a fine design with some nifty little details.
sampenrose.co.uk
Lovely simple design backed up with great execution and a superb responsive implementation. The design is simple, like I say, but it's that simplicity and straightforwardness that I enjoyed about it. It does the job, then under the hood it's just great work....
moabeer.com
Another great Beer website design. I love these silly images and how they've used them to help sell the story/brand of Moa Beer. Make sure and check out the Process page too, very clever use of that fixed element of the diver. The site is full of fun stuff like this,...
apbaxter.com
Oh man, I love this illustration and the way it's broken up to be slightly animated. Great icons for the main navigation too. The strongest aspect to this site design is how it's simple and straight forward. It's that simplicity that lets the work and details really...
intovps.com
Overall the site isn't spectacular but I wanted to show you guys this slider/account level thing on the home page. It's pretty smartly designed and combines enough fun with delivering info to make it worthwhile checking out in detail.
austinbeerworks.com
Really beautiful bold design for Austin Beerworks. I love how this design keeps me interested with it's strong visuals from page to page even though it's a largely simple layout. I like how the cans hover a little when you mouse over them on the Beer page. It's little...
lisidesign.com
Beautiful minimal design. This design is solely to show off the designer's work, nothing more and it does it with very well. The design allows for the work to be featured and the site design recede into the background as much as possible while still looking good and...
theworkcycle.com
Beautiful visual design for this website. I love the colors and simplicity at work here. I love that I can use the arrow keys to check out the photos too! I have to admit the infinite vertical scrolling on the site drives me nuts the way it's used here. Outside of...
gonefreelancing.com
Gonefreelancing.com is a study in simplicity. The project for which the site was created is also very cool. I wish I could travel around working with badasses for a year. Sigh.... envy. The map illustration is great and pairs perfectly with the concept and the...
puddledrop.com
I really like this large feeling format. The informational areas look almost oversized but are comprised of screenshots mostly and other info-graphic like things. Nicely done and it's easy to scan and take in quickly even though it's long and scrolls so much. Great...
w3conf.org
Nice responsive layout for the 2011 W3C Conference site. I enjoyed that main graphic and how it follows your mouse back and fourth, it kinda makes that top part of the site stand out and kind of memorable. It's a really straight forward conference website being a...
hellobar.com
Hellobar.com is a smart site. Its super friendly and well structured. The best part about the site is that it uses the product its trying to sell to sell the product. Say that ten times as fast as you can! The slider has a really nice transition from the first slider...

The interactions into the content on this site are really cleverly implemented/designed. I actually like the sliding around the screens do here. There's actually a lot going on here with this website, some things are working really well to pull you into the content -...
buildresponsively.com
Build Responsively looks like a great workshop, put on by the Spark Box team. The site is just a single pager but it's beautifully designed and executed. I love the dark design and background texture, the color choices are pretty nice too.
workdiary.de
Workdiary.de is a pretty bold design with a very graphic sensibility. It's a showcase for Michael's work and it's minimalistic color is severe and clean. I really like some of the small hits of cyan here and there. The economy of contrast is really clear. Also the...

The interactions designed into this website are just great. It provides the right balance of static content the visitor can see at once with enough interactive elements to satisfy your curiosity as you use and take in the site's content. The diagonal lines give a...
