I love simple and to the point layouts like these. I also believe that this site probably "speaks" to clients about as good as one could. Check out they way they display and write about the work, very smart.

Pretty cool look to this website, it's soft and open feeling. I also really love the placement of the hamburger icon inside the top left corner of that darker shade/color box. It draws my eye there almost instantly.

I love the play between the symmetrical and asymmetrical elements to this layout. It's full of little visual widgets and things to draw your eye around the page. I also really dig the menu design, having it open like it does really felt unique and memorable to me as a...
Spire
There are some really intricate interactions at play on this site. I like the little toggle areas where you can view multiple types of content in the spot on the page, as well as the side scrolling section. It plays into the target audience a bit too I believe. The...
Studio South
Beautifully designed minimalist website for Studio South. I love the strict grid layout and great photography of the work. Interesting approach to display the hamburger menu even though the main nav is "open" when you view it on mobile screen width.

Beautiful illustration work and coloring make this site sign. It has a very nice core to the design in that the grid and breaks are solidly built. Match some good typography and subtle photography treatment and it's pretty sweet. With talented illustrator John...
Kyle Decker
Oh man, I luuurve this website. It's simple and minimal and it's deep at the same time. I love the case studies that he's built out for each project. That's how it's done!
Septimo
The strict "blocky" grid in this design is pretty cool. It's been done before and fairly straightforward but when used in this context it feels fresh and unique almost. I dig the fixed left nav too. Check the different screen width design changes out as well.
Tapwater
I like the way this site layout feels almost like a new conceptual approach, much like the app seems to be. I dig the meta-ness of this. I like a lot about how they've managed the design across screen widths, and if you scale the page down in your browser the way the...
LOGIKSTUDIO
Love this, it's chock full of little fun interactions really selling that this guy can create what he says he can create. I also really like that it's grayscale. @BerndHacker

Technically the site is a bit slow to load and chrome choked on it a bit after a while for me personally but I love the visual design of this website. The colors are very stylish and really convey the vibe they want, I also really dig the parallax feel to some of the...
SFCD
Simple and bold, that's often what I like! I love this site design tremendously. Just the layout alone makes you keep scrolling down the page, the way it keeps showing work in non-centered or standard ways. Smart, simple and in the end elegant. Submitted by: Anton...

Stax Museum
Another very well done website by the folks at Simplefocus. I really love the navigation design. It's straight forward, not boring and looks nice and remains that way no matter what screen width you experience it on. There are also some really cool little interactions...

What a fun website design. It has bold graphic visuals and really conveys some character. I like the little interaction elements too. I'd love to try the food!
Classic Cars on the Big Screen
There's no reason to show you guys this site except that it's totally badass fun. I spent a good 15 minutes on this page just looking at the cars and remembering the movies. Oh it's a fun layout too and put together very well in the end. Over the years, certain cars...
Webomedia
Pretty cool animations triggered as you scroll down the page, I dig the way that lends to the story of what these guys do. It's clever. I also dig the overall vibe of the site and how it plays with this type of animation technique.
Maison Bernard
Very unique looking website here. I really dig the asymmetry to the layout and the overall vibe. The slight parallax image treatment on the header area as you scroll for the first bit is superb. From the Designer: The Maison Bernard is one of the most beautiful...
Tubatomic
Pretty cool approach to use images to create the mood and vibe for the Tubatomic site. Love the coloring and gradient of the hamburger box / menu. Also like how they bring that style of coloring to their work - like the Chattanooga FC video. Good vibes. @tubatomic
Graphek
Man, what a cool interaction/animation on that header/logo. I LOVE how it moves into the fixed state and the logo "transforms" a bit. That's memorable and first class awesome stuff. The rest of the website is superbly designed as well, which really sells the message...
Durkan Group
I like how they homepage is like a big splash page, but instead of being just a hero image and some useless "welcome" copy, they've incorporated direct links and images to their case studies. What I don't like is how that's echoed in the "projects" section which is...
This Was My Best
Tons of animation and interaction work within this website design. It's a portfolio website so the designer has chose to show off some skill and man it shows. I'm not a fan of "scroll jacking" but in this case it kind of works, since he's showing off sections like he...
Renato Castelo Branco
Great minimal portfolio site for Renato Castelo Branco. I really like the simple grid layout and bold coloring to help you follow along super quick and focus on the imagery. Clean, clear and concise design always wins.
Benny Gold
After reviewing Camp Woodward's site last week - and having to buy new truck's for my son's skateboard this week - I'm in a skateboarding mood. Benny Gold's site is a good place to start. Great site - little bit of flat(ish) details - little bit of real. Like the...
Northlandscapes
A beautiful website design, not just because of the photography though. The layout is really smart and well stacked playing well off the photography. I like the sections and how they break up well as you scroll down the page and the interactions echo the layout and...

Camp Woodward
My wife and daughter have spent the week at summer camp - Camp Woodward to be exact. If you're a 7 to 18 year old skateboarder, gymnast, cheerleader, or videographer - this place is nirvana. They've had a great week, and figured this would be my little thank you to...
Republic Wireless
The Republic Wireless site is very simple - their tagline is "Beautifully Simple" - so I guess that's appropriate. Think it's interesting how they go on the Home page from a kind of flat design, and transition into real images towards the bottom. And really like that...
TACO Web Design Studio
I really like the fixed elements on this website. The left nav and the header & footer area are cleverly done. It really feels like a unique layout, even though it's not really in the long term scheme of things. Great work here. From the Designer: A minimal...
