Great looking site, with really good purpose - Eye Heart World, out of Tampa, Florida, is a non-profit dedicated to stopping human trafficking. Really good work on The Cause page too.

Joni Korpi
I've seen a couple of sites last year that had something similar to what Joni Korpi is doing with his portfolio site, doing zoomable UI for the web. His is pretty smooth. Here's a little bit about his work, the why and how:...
Boldking
Love this site from Boldking out of Amsterdam. Great illustrations and animation help tell their story. Also love how the real and non-real elements work together.
Forest Park Map
This map from Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri is an information architect's dream. Using both mobile and desktop, I've been able to get around the 1,371 acre park (virtually) in ways that make regular maps on websites look more than ancient. The navigation is...
Jascha Goltermann
Looking at Berlin's designer Jascha Goltermann's portfolio site, I'm curious to see where he'll be in 5 years. Reason being, this site has some elements that are totally different from other portfolio sites we see, with out being too out there. Love the "hero" image...
Marie Severac
This site from Marie Severac, a gastro e-commerce store out of France (not sure if a physical location too), is simple and clean - which is great when you're showcasing things like specialty foods. I think there are a few missing pages, but I like the classic left...
katafarkas
"One of these kids is doing her own thing..." and for Kata Farkas out of New York, that's a good thing. This portfolio site is very experimental, from the side scrolling, to the About page being very "fluid" - even if it's not the typical website experience - isn't...
Samuel Medvedowsky
I really like how designers are putting some time into their portfolios, and especially the case study parts - like how Samuel Medvedowsky's Work Portfolio pages use both full and "fixed" width to tell his stories. More so than that, it's great to get insight into how...
Indicius
There are times when we see sites like the Indicius, and I think - way too busy, what's going on... I don't feel like that with this one - especially since there is no other navigation on the site. Really love the movement of the Case Study pages too.
Spark and Craft Studio
Cool and tight site from Andre Ventura, aka Spark and Craft Studio out of Georgia. Really like the block design, and the Work detail pages are really crisp - and like how the logo doesn't interfere with the images (like we've seen a lot lately on sticky header type...
gartenrast
Clean, and a lot of gut white space. Love the hamburger / fork-knife-spoon menu - and roosters too.
A-2-O
Pretty unique interaction choices on A-2-). It's different, i'm not sure it doesn't work though. I like how the cursor changes based on moving over a link, I don't like how this is a 100% diversion from what the user has always experienced. Other than this the visuals...
Design Disruptors
"Design. Changes. Everything." - Amen. Great website and video work here from InVision, about a topic that's pretty near and dear to our hearts (and probably your's too). It's a promo site for a documentary on how design is disrupting business now more than ever. The...
OnHub
We've been having a lot of router issues here lately - this is not a product endorsement, but maybe Google's OnHub is a solution for us? Either way - cool one pager site for the product. I like the intro, how the pre-loader turns into a video that turns into the hero...
Radar #112
In this week's 112th Radar: Design at Facebook Google Is 2 Billion Lines of Code—And It’s All in One Place Design sprints: what are they for? When to Use Bootstrap for Your WordPress Theme (And When Not To) My Top 30 Fonts with the Sexiest Ampersands 15 UX...
yourstru.ly
Really great editorial website layout. I love how the text flows between the images and the white space - and really love the rest of the text work on the other pages - it's not totally bound to a grid.
FLA
Pretty straight forward layout for this Law Firm in Italy. I dig the responsive design decisions made though, go ahead resize it and see what's what.
Studio Veldwerk
Really simple layout, it's like one project at a time to check out then only 2 other simple nav items. I love this approach. I don't like the bottom "read more" link, I'd like it to be more obvious across all images used for this section. That said, the simplicity...
Mason
Really cool minimal approach to the interior design studio Mason's website. I dig that you basically only check out some images then there's the hamburger menu, because they take you to some good sample pages of the company's work. Simple flow of info.
The Loppist
The Loppist is a great example of a website with a "mega" drop-down navigation design. I really like this and how it shows more info before you drill down into the site. It'll help that pogo-sticking thing that people get into on a product site.
kikk Festival
We've created our fair share of event websites here at UMS, and this is one that I instantly fell in love with. I love all the interactions and detail work. It's chock full of fun discoveries as a visitor as I move around the site, play around with it and you'll see...
Young & Norgate
I love minimal and clean design. This site pushes it to the limit. It's doing everything right on that side of the house. I do think it falls short a little with the nav items being set in white text, they can get lost based on the background images. However overall...
Form
Beautiful minimal products deserve a website that matches. The Form website doesn't fall short. A simple and elegant grid layout mixed with some simple type and photo direction make for a really great product website.
Spendee
Good, clean site from Spendee - a product page for a finance app. Good movement on the on-scroll / scroll-jacking actions - and especially like the hamburger menu that opens up simple horizontal nav on the header - it's actually different than everyone that uses a...
The Hugo
Pretty clever use of the background image. I really like how it's used as the hero area image, then you scroll down and the rest of the site kind of slides up. I like the register button and how it works too. Pretty cool 80's inspired colors too.
On The Grid
Pretty cool layout. I like the fixed side bar nav and the illustrations that train your eye on each neighborhood section. Which are all designed quite well using a card style design approach. Check out an example of that here.
Colt
This site design hits all the "now" standard things design and interaction wise. But sometimes you get it just right, I love the smooth feeling vibe to this site and the imagery is quite nice. The way the case study images load as you scroll for the first time down...
Nineteen Studio
I like the overall vibe of this site design. The black and white setup is nice and gives it a sense of class. The photos are pretty rad too. Smooth experience as well as you make your way down the page(s). Submitted by: Swann Mayor Twitter: @swann_nineteen Role:...
Oxen Made
Cool, image heavy site. I really like the hero image style video and then how the navigation comes up under that as you scroll and then sticks as the header. The remainder of the page is nicely organized and continues with the great imagery. From the Designer: Oxen is...
