Overall the design of this simple website isn't going to blow your mind. But I love how it uses simple photos of the book as both the background and main imagery at the same time. Sometimes it's the simple things that just work so dang well.

This is definitely not what I think of when I think about insurance benefits sites. It's modern and refreshing - it's even responsive! The doodle illustrations are friendly and have a fun contrast against the more realistic textures of the background. The content is...
tastingtable.com
I like how like 80% of the site is static and the only thing that scrolls is that sidebar. I think some of the type is all over the place, it could stand to have a little more simplicity style wise IMHO, but overall it's really workable and visually interesting to...

Submitted by: Aaron Payne @creativepayne Role: Designer & Developer I think this site is really unique in a few ways. First I think it's great that it's taking some cues from the fashion world with edgy, overlapping diagonal lines, bright colors and patterns. The...

Submitted by: Sam Tiffin Role: Designer & Developer Our new website, coded in HTML5 with CSS3 animations, background image sprites and fancy webfonts (courtesty of Google Webfonts API). Really nice super clean, highly detailed feeling single page design. This site...

I'm late getting this design up in the gallery - wedding site by/for a super great web designer Bryan Veloso (@bryanveloso) of avalonstar.com. Look up his stuff, he's great. This wedding site is really great, I love the big picture (like in a real frame) in the top...

Super clean product website design. It follows the Apple style of layout pretty good, but still has enough of it's own life. I particularly love the main slideshow, the way it zooms in and out just responds really great to me. Overall this design is pretty "high-end"...

Submitted by: Joshua Sortino @joshuasortino Role: Designer & Developer Josh has a serious passion for progressive, usable, responsive design. His site is a demonstration of the flexibility, accessibility, and possibilities of HTML5 and CSS3. Really nice simple design,...
forefathersgroup.com
This is really a beautifully designed and executed website. From it's responsive approach to the over-the-top almost illustration work I can't stop looking at it. It has just about everything, style & substance. My two most favorite parts are the slide down quote form...
clearfirestudios.com
clearfirestudios.com is a lovely site with great details. The structure is simple but the soft colors, subtle textures and three dimensional elements give the site a visual depth that is lacking in most projects. It has the feeling that you are looking into a...
nuevacocina.com
I like nuevacocina.com's bold use of color. The richness of their red is strong and emotive. The photography is great and is seamlessly integrated into the visual language of the design. I think that the liberal use of text images for buttons and such is unfortunate...

Submitted by: JD Graffam @jdgraffam Role: Creative Director Ooh, responsive! And so pretty! John Mears, of Simple Focus, was the hands-on designer and developer. Church sites in the past are usually cited as being less than attractive. This one not only crushes that...

Submitted by: Jay Bigford @thisisyoke Role: Designer & Developer Man, that is a nice illustration! thisisyoke.com is a gem of a site. Great structure, an emphasis on content, strong use of tone and character, great art. This site pretty much has it all. It just...
cofinery.com
Admittedly, there's not yet much on this site. I don't know what the final intent will be, but in it's current state, I like what's going on. There's this thing called CoFinery. The page briefly states what that is, what it means, who's involved, and various ways to...
imagemechanics.com.au
Imagemechanics.com.au is a single page scroller that pages like a more traditional site. The transitions between content 'pages' are very smooth and sophisticated, especially transitioning away from the homepage. The navigation doesn't really feel like a traditional...

americanselect.org
Americanselect.org does a great job of making somewhat mundane tasks really interesting. For instance, when you "choose your colors" (rank political issues by importance to you), instead of maybe a checkbox form of dropdown where you can choose their rank, you are...
snowdenindustries.com
Snowdenindustries.com is all about drama. It has a sense of typographic scale that dwarfs most sites and uses sweeping lines and broad shapes that fill the monitor. It definitely designed to be an experience that impresses. Their portfolio is excellent. The timing on...
raisetheroofproductions.com
Really a simple and beautiful website. I love the use of the vertical parallax here to show the sun setting. The clouds and bird illustrations are wonderful. Great looking website.
intellisult.com
Well, thats just silly... but I love the humor and animation. I put in Julia's name and got this "Julia is a cruelly ill-mannered coccydynia and a reprehensible halitosis-infested mass of existential impotence". Whats not to love?
2011.full-frontal.org
I like the colors of this conference website. The strong graphic look works well with the typeface too. I do feel like there may be too much of that hand written "colored" in type, a good pairing mixed into the thick of it would go a long way. The second typeface...
barcampomaha.org
Barcampomaha.org is very nice dark site. The register button is an obvious call to action and the site is friendly and visually engaging. It employs a lot of convention but is executed really nicely. We go to barcamps around the southeast all the time and sometimes...
marielaurent.fr
Marielaurent.fr is a playful site with as strong sensibility toward stark lines and images. Unlike many portfolio sites, which are minimal and simple so as not to overshadow the portfolio pieces, the design and interactive elements of marielaurent.fr are definitely an...
weblounge.be
This is a site full of vibrance. There's a mix of a lot of animation, 3D treatment, and rich colors and textures that could seem overwhelming, but I actually enjoy it. The home page is still easy to scan despite what might seem like visual clutter. The overall look is...
brandonrike.com
Brandonrike.com is a really nice dark site. It does a great job of showing off Brandon's work while feeling as sophisticated and graphic as his work. Sounds like Brandon's got a cool gig, too. Who wouldn't want to make badass t-shirts for bands all day?
punchfork.com
Punchfork looks like a recipe aggregator, they even have an API so you can pull in recipes into your own app. Neat. I love the utilitarian design. Just nice pics and straight up recipe info. This website is screaming to be responsive too, i'm sure they're working on...
jorgerigabert.com
Lots of really subtle things in this website design. I like the main navigation sidebar, how the icons and colors change as you scroll through the pages/sections. I also really like how the design is relying on illustration to help emphasis sections like it is. It's...
aw-digital.com
Interesting interactions on this website for sure. I dig that things are placed in circle like this, it gives it a really dynamic look. Some of the transformations the shapes make on interactive items when you use them are pretty slick and look great. One thing digs...
