A nice looking site that is oddly enough all about ugly websites. The design is fairly simple but the color scheme is quite nice and the photography used in the slideshow is humorously appropriate.

Normally I hate car company websites but this one features a really sharp design that is completely clutter free and quite modern looking. The large photos really speak volumes about the products and grab your attentions and the bold red pulls you down to where there is more information.

This site is showing off lots of custom typography. The fonts look really great and give the site a unique feel. I alos like how some of the content is fixed while other parts scroll. This is smart, efficient and stylish.

This site features beautifully rich graphics, solid icon design and attractive custom fonts. I especially like that the slideshow at the top takes up the full browser width. That is a neat trick that I do not often see!
