Pretty tidy layout for Book & Sons. I dig the large imagery and the simple nature of the grid at work here. I'm not too happy with the big background images and the white text overlaid on them, sometimes the copy is impossible to read. Fixing that up would leave this...
Really cool way to start up a page of content. That large image that loads down to a smaller version and then the grid layout around it is pretty hot. Really digging this site right now.
Ahhh, that Swedish design. I love it so much. The crisp photography and the thin lines on the typography layered on top of a sharp grid. Wonderful stuff.
Beautifully illustrated website for the Day of the Dead festival. I love the bold colors and stuff. My favorite is the "skull menu" that you get on mobile screen widths. Skulls beat Hamburgers every time.
Simple approach to this website, but I love it. I love the big header image, it's fun and feels fresh. Then the rest of the content is really straight forward but probably all you need for a site like this.
Love this simple site with some cool bulldog (kind of) flat illustrations. Besides liking the site - I really like the way the actual app looks and works - there is a Bootstrap element to it - but it's clean and makes sense - even has some Trello elements to the...
Pretty nifty visual narrative on the home page of the webydo.com website here. I like how the photos follow you down the page through the various processes you'll go through in editing a website with this product. The overall design is slick too. Much like.
The vibe of this site design is very unique feeling to me. I like that it's 90% copy as you first load the thing then the layout of the elements are unique. I like the mouse over effect on the main images as you move around on the page too.
Superbly crafted interactions and typography for the web here. I really enjoyed scrolling through this section and reading through it. They enabled timed load-ins and animations but didn't hamper my ability to scroll and read.
I love, love, love that header/hero area background. I dig the way the rest of the page loads for you too. It's just a simple portfolio/resume website and it's just that, simple. But still powerful feeling.
I really like the open feel to this design. The typography and the way it interacts with the white space is also pretty nice in that it feels vibrant and not just minimal. Love the colors and implied simplicity behind the visual layout too.
Cool portfolio design from Laura Boast of LJB Studio out of Manchester (UK), built by Nine Sixty. One thing I really like is how the home page has no nav in order to draw more attention the work in the slideshow - but nav comes up in the sticky header when you dive...
Good, clean, functional site from Raluca Comanescu out of of Romania for her Unfold Ateier site. It has a ton of detail on the content side, and I like the fact that there are different types of nav for a lot of content, instead of doing some type of filtered masonry...

Way to pull a user in to your site - great video backgrounds - great pop to the rest of the site too - love this site from ISL out of DC! From the Designer: This website was a labor of loved, designed and developed over 6 months. We're a digital agency in Washington,...
Super sleek grid based layout. I love that he's using the grid visually and structurally. I also love the way it plays with the typography and then the interactions feel perfectly placed. The layout of the work samples get kind of tedious as you scroll down the page,...
Ian Williams out of Virginia - love it. I've seen other sites like this- "looks" liked stripped out design - but they've been pretty, well not good. Ian's is an excellent example of how to. It's different without being over the top - and works well too. But WTFreak...
Good quick design from LHV Studios out of Germany - looks to be an iOS app company. Detail is in the product pages - good stuff. Comedy in the copy the Beer "game" - I think this game is probably only legal in Germany... funny though. From the Designer: Website to...
Well - we're back to a product that as we say around here "me want." Sweet looking backpack for active types / surfers especially - from Tails & Whales out of Portugal. Like the look and feel as you scroll down - good water associations for their potential customers...
Well - I guess I found something cool, and non-cracked-out-candy-crushed to let my kids look at on my phone: WonderBox, an educational app made by Duck Duck Moose out of San Francisco. Looking forward to the app - but the site is pretty good too. It's bright, and...
Qostr out of Arkansas, was built by Matchstick Studio (well Qostr was, not Arkansas...sorry) - thought this was a pretty cool concept - and can see the applications for the product and platform for photographers / artists / weddings / etc. It's been awhile since we've...
I like the simplicity in the grid for this ecommerce site. It's clean and simple and driven by the photography. I really like the way the main navigation is displayed open when you load it up on the mobile site width like that too. Smart stuff.
This is a bright and lively site from David's Tea out of Quebec. It's incredibly detailed throughout the shopping part of the site - it looks like hundreds of items on the site - and all are beautifully done. My wife is a huge fan of Rooibos Chai - looks like it's...
Great clean site from emota out of San Diego (made by Bumbli also out of San Diego). They do video - and it's pretty powerful stuff. Good use of actual client work for the video background to draw you into the site, and good use of it in the case studies too....
It's not often you see a website that really matches the physical location that it's representing quite like this site does. Based on the pictures I really feel like the vibe of the space and the vibe of the website design and layout matches fairly asynchronously....
Cool app website, it's fairly typical in that it's a single(ish) page however it has plenty of great imagery and shows off what the app does quite nicely. You can almost decide before downloading the app if you'll dig it or not, so that's a huge win for the website...
Super fun design, over the top and I love it. The embedded background video is just stunning and really pulls me into wanting more. So give me more already...

Nice upscale look for the Gillemore Gin's website. I like the black/dark vibe, it really aides to the uniqueness of what the product looks like. Along side the slightly non-traditional feeling nav in the left hand side tray pattern the approach matches the look &...
