The header on this site steals the show. It features a great cityscape photo with an animated transition. Notice how the text on the photographic background has been treated. It is not easy to place text over such a busy photo but this solution is both easy and attractive.

This is a simple but effective blog design with a number of unique ides and nice design touches. The format of the blog stream is refreshingly different than the popular formats on the web today.

This site design is an awesome combination of color, texture and photography. Notice that the design is not just attractive but highly functional. The restaurant hours are placed right on the homepage because they are probably one of the main reasons people stop by the site.

A nice minimal design with a heavy emphasis on the work being displayed. The page was designed using the 960.gs and has a super tight alignment that really gives it that clean and modern feel.

A really nice freelance design portfolio with a solid layout and some fun illustrations. I really appreciate how well thought the entire page is from top to bottom. The area above the footer is just as nice as the header.

Great use of color and texture to create a background with a subtle hint of reality. On a photography site you simply cannot go wrong with a large slideshow front and center. This one showcases her work very well and succeeds in grabbing your attention immediately.

Cathedral City is a website for a popular brand of cheese in Britain. I love the architecture illustrations, fisheye effect and various flying objects buzzing around the page. Overall a very attractive site that proves busy web design does not have to be ugly!
