Cool site to end your Thursday from Mother Volcano out of Portugal. This is an illustration intensive site from an illustration intensive company - so most of the site is either .pngs or background images. I really like the integration of the social media icons at the...
Once again - it's cool when the designer gives us a lot of detail on what went into making a site - even better on a site re-design. John Williams tells us a little about the redesign of the Search Discovery site out of Atlanta: From the Designer: "Search Discovery's...
Guillaume Grimaud out of France's portfolio site has cool movement with the pre-loaders, that you don't feel like you're waiting. Also like the movement on the slider when the projects go out and come in. Simple, dark, and good. From the Designer: "Creativepark is the...
Like this portfolio site from Nicolas Thomas out of Paris. At first look, above the fold - it's extremely crisp with the contrasting black and white of the image a copy, but the moon and cloud gives it something extra that I can't describe right now. Have seen the...
I'm going to assume that the initial pitch for Leap was "It's like Uber - for buses." I drive daily now, but when we lived in Sydney - I would have paid extra for this service since my commute was 45 minutes from the CBD to North Ryde where I was going to school. The...
Yesterday, we posted a real estate site that broke molds of website design that exist in their industry - today we do the same, with the financial / mortgage industry with Movement Mortgage. As Brittney says below, user experience on most mortgage sites are pretty...
I had to get one Irish design company on St. Patricks's Day, even if it is late in the evening there - and with Kooba, think it's a good one (ther also might be a good chance that they won't see this for a couple of days - St. Pat's isn't just one day there). Besides...
Depending on the type of site, and who you're trying to reach - visuals (images / illustrations / icons / video) are a huge part of conveying your message. I'm going to guess that in the way that YouTube and Vimeo transformed the industry and marketing abilities for...
We really don't get very many real estate themed sites at Unmatchedstyle - that's probably because most of them are pretty horrible (if you don't believe me, Google real estate in your locale - if you have exceptions - submit them here). However... The Cliffs website,...
So... if you're in Austin this week for that little soiree called SXSW, um, and we know half of you are there by your drunken tweets throughout this week.... (yes... you know what you did, and the Twittersphere does too). Head on down to The Spotify House - our buddy...
Celcius out of Switzerland looks to be the graphic design arm of Crayonoir, which also has a good site. The site transitions from a video background a split screen site - description on left - work (or team) on right. Good concept and way of presenting since the...
Cool way to start the week. A developer from France - Maks. That's really all the info I have - but I like his site. It's a quick side-scrolling one page portfolio site, but it's pretty dynamic. All the images are links to work or to email Maks - simple and to the...
I found this site from a photographer and art director from Paris, Thierry Ambraisse, a little while back - and for some reason didn't review it. I found it again this week, and something resonated with me, and really paid attention to the photos, the transitions, and...
You know why we like this site? Besides the fact that it's a great resource with interviews with some of the best and brightest on the web? We like The Web Ahead site because no one else is really doing this - making a site that's all about text. It's a content rich...
We're starting to see a trend with some agency sites lately: Header -> Agency Logo -> Little bit of intro copy -> Straight to client work / portfolio Man, is that effective - and Mast out of Denver, Colorado is doing that to a T. Love the block design (that doesn't...
Man, what a beautifully executed design on the August website. Fun layout and some super slick illustrations and animation really drive this design home for me. The main navigation is very interesting too. It's one of those that take over the design but I really dig...
The more I played with the Italic Studio website, out of Los Angeles, the more I really dig it. The whole work on the About / Home page is cool and fairly seamless. Their Work is pretty darn good too - I remember seeing the Reebok Rally women's magazine / catalog when...
Continuing with Reebok day - Voltage, out of Colorado, just worked on the Reebok site we reviewed this morning. When we searched for who did the work - we found their site, and man is it good. The video background and the full-width images - with some good scroll...
Today is Reebok Day. It could be that Gene and I are fanboys of Reebok, and in fact just ran our third Reebok sponsored Spartan Race this past Sunday in Atlanta (awesome images below). Plus, there's some good design on the site and in the companies associated with...
I'm not sure if the name Flat Cow is a play on an oxymoron, but design-wise, I like the contrast between the flat design, coupled with robust design - it plays well on this site. Also, the full-width design on the Work page is also pretty cool - and like the different...
Cool and different agency site out of Croatia for C2 - Ana and Sergej. Really enjoyed the opening sequence that turns into your initial navigation with the block C. Also like the use of the slider, plus side scrolling in the Work section. Finally - I like the...
Cool new product and website for Cast (by Genii). While I'm not sure who Genii is, I get Cast right away - and the animated video background helps (except for that one dancing dude on the right - reminds me of the Katy Perry Left Shark... but I digress). Good use of...
Really like the movement of the Stampsy site, a photo story / mood board / visual essay site, especially from the second to the third frames of the site. Everything is very well designed, and simple - using the video to tell their story. Also think the fourth frame is...
I always like to review product websites and Tapdaq is an interesting study in keeping things simple. I dig the way the graph loads the first time you visit the site. I also really like the simplicity in the overall approach to the design of the site; yet at the same...
I've said before that we really like these year-end summary sites for different companies - and Twitch's is a good one too! Pretty cool that you can have a multi-million dollar company based on watching other people play video games - but aside from that, I like the...
My 9yo son has his second baseball game of the season tonight. I showed him the St. Louis Browns website last night at 8:30pm (his bedtime) - and I found myself explaining the site and the team to him until 9pm (my bedtime) - Satchel Paige, 3'7" Eddie Gaedel, and yes,...
Lovely type based design for the Résidence Mixte website. I dig it in so many ways. Kind of cool how the slider actually changes the whole page - an added level of navigation. The colors are soft and also the French. 🙂
No matter what your political slant, we could probably agree with the statement that digital healthcare, with all of our technological and interwebs advances, could be seriously improved. So I really love Fantasy, a digital design agency out of San Francisco and New...
"We Want Mets - We're the funky, spunky, younger generation..." is now in my brain for the rest of the day - well played Kirin - well played. I've been a fan of Kirin, out of Japan, since before I can legally say. They have a soft drink called Mets - and it's website...
This Prollective site is a theme, that they made - they note it at the bottom of the page. It's a pretty dang good looking site and template too, just thought you would enjoy checking out what these guys do with it. We’re a collective of handpicked web specialists who...
