Best Font / Type site we've seen in a long time. Or Type's site, out of Iceland, is live - you change the words for the example fonts, it changes it for everyone viewing the site - instantly. Then, you can either do a rewind of all of the changed words, or see them in...
I'm an analytics nerd - so this Frightgeist site from Google Trends really speaks to me on two levels (design being the other). It's a fairly simple site - but the US map with the blue/green shimmering specter-like bubbles (which look like the "spirit bubbles" in...
We've started to see a couple of good sites coming out of Lithuania lately - and I like this one from OVO. I really like the transparent logo, and how it plays on different pages - also like the fact that they are willing to partially cover up the product category...
For being a seemingly minimal portfolio site from George Leonardo out of Brazil, it has some good, subtle pieces that add to it being a strong site. I was about to say today was black and white site day, but George had some hidden color in his tags leading to the Work...
Good looking black and white agency site by Stilbox Studios out of Germany. Very simple - focuses on their portfolio - and I like how the foot unveils. From the Designer: stilbox studios is a Web & Marketing Agency - Consulting. Strategy. Implementation. Submitted by:...

I almost didn't post this one, but I've been reading Robert Hartl's site with Google translation turned on - and have crossed over to bizzaro world, but it's fun, and Robert looks like he's having fun with this (see the About section / and the SelfieInterview). I like...
Excellent site from Open Door Design Studio out of Asheville for The Kent Building. Yes, normally I would say - "compared to other real estate sites..." - but we've seen really good growth in the real estate niche of awesome looking websites, like this one. Really...
Love the look of this site from Futuramo Apps out of Poland. Check out the Tour and Team pages - great use of movement and a totally different look than what we're used too from "app" product pages. From the Designer: Parametric icons for designers and developers. App...
Love this site from Will Fernandes out of São Paulo, Brazil. I know that on the face of it, the site is mostly images - but everything is laid out cleanly to let the art be the center piece - great imagery! From the Designer: I am Will Fernandes, a brazilian...
Good, clean site from Indigo Kids out of Lithuania. One quick think I really like is the color change of some of the elements as you scroll down the interior pages - it's subtle, but a nice touch. From the Designer: Great businesses are built on great experiences....
Great looking block design site by Skinn for Sanskriet Furniture in Belgium. Great photography always helps, and the layout is pretty cool too. From the Designer: Design wooden furniture Submitted by: Siebe Jacxsens Twitter: @skinn_be Role: Designer & Developer...
Fairly straight forward and normal product app page look for DaVinci Apps. Looks like the person recommending this site already reviewed it for me: From the Designer: Nice website, and actually a very useful service. As they say, you create customized screenshots for...
I like the color scheme of the Andreoli agency site out of Spain. Yes, I know it's gold with a bunch of white/grey/blacks - but I still like sites with one highlight color to emphasize what they think is important. And love the zombie lady - we should all do projects...
This is a great site called WNDRLND, that is aimed at the salon and stylists industries. Seems very fashion forward in both web design and design in general - which is good, since they are trying to inspire an industry of professionals who need to keep ahead of the...
I had to look at this site by Akiom, out of Romania, a few times - and I think it's grown on me. At first I thought the site was unbalanced (leaning to the right) - but the more I look at it, I like how it flows - I think the large, awesome-like images really play...
Beautiful, flowing site from Chargefield out of Ontario, for the Mississauga Symphony Orchestra. With flat / material design and other design trends, we see less "textured" type backgrounds it feels like. They've done a good job of having the "melding" the overlaid...
Good looking pet project site by Anthony Garone from Arizona, called Make Weird Music - interviews with musicians that make, well, weird music. Really like the split design, and illustrations. From the Designer: A 50/50 vertical split flexbox-based responsive design,...
Love this portfolio site from Timothee Guignard out of NYC. Simple and understated on top - awesome detail in the Portfolio Detail pages. From the Designer: Portfolio of Timothee Guignard, UX, UI, Webdesigner Submitted by: Timothee Guignard Twitter: @timguignard Role:...

This is a fun, quick, one-pager from Hound Studio out of the Ukraine, with cool animated illustration gifs - and good animated sales funnel. From the Designer: Imagine that you have 90 seconds to explain the customer the main idea of your business and all its...
Looks like ArtSocket has changed it up a little since we reviewed them in January. They've continued to focus on the Art side, but making the experience a little more immersive with the full-width art scroll on the home page, and more detail on interior pages - new...
I like the header intro for Linemotion out of Serbia - it's an interesting way to highlight the different pieces of work that go into their agency - how UI, branding, and development all come together to build UX / User Experience. Good job with the animated SVGs too....
Hands down, the best navigation we've seen in a while in this site for Workhorse Printmakers, made by Spindletop out of Houston (think we've reviewed their site earlier this year too). Love this header nav block - definitely makes you think of a print house /...
Very cool single page site done for Hadgins Engraving, by 15 Fingers out of Buffalo. Two colors, some illustrations, some good typeface, and a little interaction - very good. Especially like the "skull fashion plates" lower in the page. From the Designer: this is the...
Cool looking red, blue and white agency site out of Montreal from Ellpi. It's very simple and clean, with good white (red) space. I like how the video backgrounds on the site are not featured, they are more like footers on interior pages. From the Designer: ELLPI is a...
Sharp new site from Sequoia Capital out of Menlo Park. Like the intro image that leads down to the cool vertical slideshow, with great suped-up images, and a cool overlay on the left.
We usually don't see many dark websites that really "work", but the SCR agency site out of Slovakia makes a good case for it. Unlike other dark sites though, they have good, bold and bright colors to counter-balance everything. Like the collage / block design areas...
Good site from Principle out of Atlanta - for their interactive UI tool. The hero video is a great sales tool - and the looped videos are a cool, active way to make sure you understand the app allows animations and interactions. Clean and crisp on all the other parts...
I think I've spent about longer looking at this site for NeueHouse then I normally do for reviews. The site is extremely well put together - love the secondary nav at the top and bottom, as well as the movement overall on the site. The work on the NeueJournal part of...
