The Barcamp Omaha website is just beautiful. I love just about every aspect to it, but the thing that I dig most is the illustration work that sets the tone. It promises a pretty well organized Barcamp; quality is driven home via the visual branding. I only wish I...
Fun site. I love the animated pieces worked into the site design. It's a clean subtle design underpinning everything that lets the fun stuff be delivered so successfully here too. Submitted by: Sonny Chen Role: Designer & Developer It is my design portfolio...
What a unique design for this salon. I feel like it's really something different for what most people experience with their salon's website. It's subtle and very smooth feeling as you go through it to me.
Really beautiful and wispy design for the few.io site. I really dig the open vibe to the design and just about everything else that goes with it. Also, that is some epic beardage across the team there.
Looks like a pretty useful project, backed up by a nice simple and well designed page. I really dig the signup form elements and the way the nav works with the site overall. Smart stuff. Submitted by: Michael Moran @mike_moran_ Role: Designer & Developer Beautiful...
There's a lot of well tread design patterns in play on the BruteProtect site, but they're done pretty well and that goes a long way. The sections are also broken up in interesting ways, like the use of the visual timeline for example. The best part is the contact form...
The team from Lullabot have released an app called Shoot. Pretty neat concept for an app. The website for it is top notch. Shows off the app, takes mobile into consideration heavily (you'd be surprised...) and is just plain neat to check out on it's own. Great work...
Thank the gods of the interwebs that there is finally a designer portfolio page that has everything you want in a significant other - smart, beautiful, and funny. We joke around here sometimes that we would like to change the message of our client services website to...
I love the vibe of this site. The colors and use of the video work. I also dig the side bar navigation scheme, with it being fixed etc... Submitted by: Madison Zyluk @verdadesign Role: Designer Responsive website for a video production company in Winnipeg, Canada....
One of the better responsive higher ed site's i've ever reviewed. There's tons of nice design patterns in play here as well as other detail work. What's most striking is that the responsive design isn't just the home page, but seems to go pretty deep throughout the...
Nice clean simple website for a web designer's portfolio. I like the long form write ups and just the simple showing of work. Submitted by: Phil Stringfellow @psdesignuk Role: Designer & Developer This is v6 of my personal website and portfolio, featuring parallax...
The St. Joseph's Prep website is quite nice. I like the video background and how when the page scales down to smaller widths they swap out for a static image and then down to nothing for mobile devices. Nice strong easy to scan grid design too. Looks to be powered by...
Decent responsive effort on the JOEY Restaurant Group website, it doesn't appear to scale all the way down past say an iPad width though. I like how they keep the home page short and succinct and stuff.
Pretty cool grid based layout, very solid. I'm not wild about using the hamburger icon alone as the navigation kick off for all screen widths and stuff. But I do give them points for just sticking with it. Airbus Group (formerly EADS), the largest aviation and...
Borja has a cool CSS feature that you probably don't on your portfolio site - a dial that brings up different content. Why should you care - because portfolio sites should not just be about showing your previous work, but also to: Try. New. Things. So go this weekend,...
The things I would have said about Konnu's website were exactly what their founder said about it (below). Added to what he said, I like how the navigation works in the mobile version - gives it a little of the current app navigation feel. Submitted by: Tim Vanhalewyck...
Christiana Bardeanu's portfolio site shows off her work, and probably shows off a little of who she is a human too. She has her portfolio of work page which is good, but pay special attention to the floral background images - then go to her blog, and you'll see her...
Great portfolio site that is simple, but has some sweet subtle functionality items that make it cool. And make sure you look at his resume - if Ash is this detail oriented with his resume, pretty sure he is with his work...
The majority of restaurant websites are awful. Period. Mercer Tavern's website on the opposite side of the spectrum. They prove that you can make a great restaurant website, that is clean, cool, and small. The pictures make the site cool, and the literal white space...
We've watched over the years as purveyors of print have made uneasy transitions to the web. Last week, the redesign The New Yorker's website shows they've worked hard to translate their magazine into the modern interwebs. Great use of the images and typefacing that...
Football (Gridiron) season is in a couple of weeks. Even though this isn't my favorite team, really like their website. The large images and videos give it a bold and loud feeling, that translates really well if you're a fan.
Um... yeah... where to start? Astronauts rotating around text? Parallax of a boxer being counted out? Wild navigation scheme that makes it fun to move around the site? Hamburger icon that animates into an X? Or the easter egg of all easter eggs - Arnie, with an...
Neat, one page agency site that looks like a poster - a poster with css animations and hints of parallax. It's a different style than most agencies use, adding some uniqueness to the agency site landscape. Plus - what other sites have a slot-machine-fashion-plate-like...
Really like Justin's use of navigation, both in the Work section, and in the header. It's different, active, animated, and gets away from the proverbial hamburger menu icon - which is always a good thing. The rest of the site is clean and crisp, with some good demos...
Cool portfolio site that looks like Sam is into trying out new stuff - including some nice animations and icon work. Like in the Work areas how he specifically refers to what skills he used per project, instead of a nebulous skill set dashboard like most portfolios....
A good one page site that seems to be an extension of the growler fill station itself (making the site background / tecture look like the chalkboards in the store). In the mobile version, they've made the menu more accessible for your phone, without resorting to a...
We've reviewed some of FHoke's work before (i.e., Judgement Day) so cool that we get a look at their agency site. Really like the interaction of the jQuery masonry on the Portfolio page (we did this for a client recently - not as easy as it looks to pull off right) -...
We're back from BDConf Nashville - and as much fun as we had, we're happy to look at site from South Carolina. Cobble Hill's site is crisp and clean, and uses it's images really well within the mostly black and white site. The Featured Work pages come together nicely,...
Man, what a cool home page. We're at BDConf right now, and had a few of our speakers talking about the importance of "if you're going to use animation on your website - use it right" - tell a story with it. This site follows that rule to a T. Submitted by: Rana...
Let's start this morning off with a good one - Ben Brignell does that for us! I really like the entire site - from the animation opening on the home page, to the javascript color changes you can make on the About page, to the project tags in his Work area (how many...
