Really, really clever layout for The Supply. It's a very non-traditional approach to what feels like a very old school business idea of placing talent. I dig it. Submitted by: The Supply Twitter: @thesupply_feed
Ascend
Pretty slick design. It's simple yet compelling in that I never have to leave the home page to really learn about Ascend, but there's plenty of depth and further content to dig into when desired. Love that. Submitted by: Steven Monetti Twitter: @steven_monetti Role:...
Comovee
The Comovee site is a great example of a product website that gets the details right. I dig the clean design and mix of large imagery. The screen width differences are nice too, scale it and you'll see what i'm talking about. Subtle yet solid design. From the...
Midnight Works
I like the strong imagery and the solid typography used in unison like it is here on Midnight Works. The vibe of the site as you scroll through it just feels good. Love it.
Specialized Bicycles: 5+ min
Pretty darn skippy on this one from Specialized Bicycles - their 5 More Minutes campaign. One more instance of scroll-jacking making a heck of a lot of sense. The bike looks pretty sweet too!
Day Trip
We don't normally do a lot of iPhone app page's here in the Gallery but when Paravel does an app like this you gotta take notice. This one pager is stunning, from the logo/branding to the layout itself. Gushing here a bit but damn guys. Nice.
Drawp.it
Fairly nice product website. Solid colors and delivers that "kids" vibe without pandering to all the cliches that come with it. Good work. @drawpit
Magnet Co
Really strong mix of some very well proven design patterns and some nice visual design mixed together. Smart decisions here, I enjoyed this page as I scrolled and read through all their info.
TERN magazine
I dig the layout of this site. The strong grid and the interplay with some of the blocks and the background sections is nice and there's some nice little animation layered into the interactions. That big drop down/hamburger menu is actually kinda nice. I'm not in love...
Self Driving Car
Real simple design that uses top-notch imagery and some illustrations to sell the concept. It's immediate and has impact, what more could you want from your website?
dConstruct 2015
There is a lot to love about the 2015 dConstruct site. Clearleft always does something cool with this site every year, I always enjoy it when they launch it. I really like how it doesn't take itself too seriously with the layout (mobile vs. desktop). It's a conference...
Stephane.ly
I love this simple and colorful site for Stephane Lyver. It seems to have minimal design, but the colorful sections draw my attention. I love his black and white ending portrait shot, and I really dig the simple effects of the angled :before and :after css elements....

Built By Human
Pretty solid layout. I dig the loading imagery as I scroll too. Damn that logo is great as well. From the Designer: Uses the latest technology of CSS3 and HTML5 Submitted by: Mark Mole Role: Designer & Developer @builtbyhuman
TwitchCon 2015
Earlier this year, we reviewed Twitch's Year in Review of 2014, and really liked it. TwitchCon 2015, is their video game video broadcaster / fan-fest conference. Dig the home page - simple, but a little complex behind the scenes. If you "view source" it's fun to read...
ESPN Sports Programming
Good looking site for ESPN Sports Programming - we reviewed their main site for ESPN.com a couple of months ago - and looks like they've taken a lot of the those design elements, and improved on them. Probably an easier goal since this is a more discrete type of site...
Northern Black Forest
Good site from the @TourismusNordSW - Northern Black Forest tourism site, outside of Stuttgart, Germany. It may be a little heavy in some places (or it could be my connection right now), but the concept is solid - especially in the the detail pages of the different...
Appart_
Good grid design throughout on this agency/product design site for Appart_ from, well everywhere apparently (distributed company - very distributed it looks like). See below from the designer, but I like the idea of using the grid / box design to be part of the...
Draw With Pixels
Good portfolio site from Gabriel Mnt out of Romania. I haven't seen a site like this in a few months, the kind that uses the 4 blocks on the home page as main nav. It's still a cool concept if you can categorize everything well - and I think Gabriel has. Love the...
Mostly Serious
Many agency sites use large photos to bring out the human nature of their company and give us a glimpse to their habits and personalities. Others showcase their skills heavily and give no hint of who or how their work is done and practiced and whether there are humans...
FABRIK
I love the straightforward minimal approach of this site, coupled with it's easy to use interface for filtering by product type and color it brings me closer to the product than most other product pages I visit. The grids of colorful rows are just magical in drawing...
Macaw Scarlet
I met with a VC during ConvergeSE that was meeting with Macaw, and was asking what we as designers thought of something like Macaw's Scarlet - something to disrupt Dreamweaver... I, uh, as someone who builds "by hand" - honestly, I said "I don't get it". Then I saw...
Oculus
Boom. Sometimes that is just what you should say with a site review. Boom.
The Boat
SBS out of Australia has produced a website called 'The Boat' - which is an interactive graphic novel about escape after the Vietnam War - based on the story by Nam Le. Incredible use of scroll jacking and on-scroll actions in a parallax web universe. It's complete...
Bryanston
Great images permeate throughout this site for Bryanston School in the SouthWest UK - which is really good. I think the most interesting decision they made of the site was maybe for accessibility - there's a link in the footer to see the "High Visibility Version" of...

Levy Restaurants
Like the power of the video background on the Levy Restaurants site as you start - then like the hand-drawn fonts and icons. The site looks pretty hip and with it, which seems to be the aim of the restaurants themselves. @UKLevy
Xome
Pretty cool experience for a search based website. I like how the search is focused on top of the main hero image space. Keeps it front and center. There's very little small screen width experience here but overall for desktop it's tops. Cool form elements to play...
Casper
I just love it when a nice brand has a minimal approach to it's website. Casper is a great example of what a minimal approach can do for you. The messaging is crystal clear and simple and there are still some really great interaction sections on the site to boot....
GWT
Fairly straightforward design here. Clearly an informative experience, much like a book. The mobile view isn't that spectacular but it doesn't really have to be. I like the interaction on the search in the top right a lot.
