Pancake is a way to receive and track payments and project deliverables. The cartoony illustration style is fun and the bright colors work well together. The overall design is quite clean with plenty of white space.

UpHype is an interesting service where users make unique offers for how they can promote your business. The design is colorful and fun and highlights the rather bizarre nature of the idea.

Photographer sites are best when the designer lets the photos speak for themselves by making them the largest element on the page. This designer definitely got it right. The classy minimalist design really helps highlight the work o display.

This site uses a large jQuery slider and lots of icons to create a strong visual message. The pops of color around the page really help draw your eyes to the important elements.

An interesting site that uses a sewing metaphor for graphic design services. Vector Stories uses old style sketches and grungy paper textures to achieve a believable aged look.

This site uses a completely unique 3D design concept. The design is based heavily on hard edges and cube-like shapes. The overall effect is quite attractive.

I am almost always surprised to find a physical product website that I actually like. This great looking e-commerce site uses great looking design elements, a bright and attractive color scheme and nice typography to sell electric bicycles.

This site features a very thin layout with an extremely linear progression. Each portfolio piece is displayed one right after the other with a quick button to return to the top. The page is simple but effective and the work on display is quite beautiful.

This site features a very textured design with some aged paper and other rough areas and stains. As you scroll down you will see some nice faux water color effects and illustrations.

The poster theme for this site feels really unique and is extremely well done. The key here is large overstated graphical items that come together in a very non-linear way.

This is an extremely attractive site when you view it in its entirety. The architecture theme is masterfully done and I love the use of bright colors mixed with an otherwise dully gray theme.

A really nice photo-centric design with beautiful graphics and an awesome color palette. I really like the double column layout and strokes in the actual blog area, it is a fairly typical layout but looks particularly attractive here.

A very simple and clean design with just a touch of silliness with the gecko peeking over the fold. Scroll down to the area near the footer. I like the large screenshot with comments and the nice button design in this area.

It is nice to see a designer put a lot of thought towards aesthetics on a site for a local business. I like the use of shiny red elements scattered throughout the page and the modular structure of the information.

A dark and dramatic theme that uses faux lighting effects and wooden textures to add visual interest. The crazy footer design is a particularly nice and almost hidden touch. Be sure to visit the site and scroll all the way down to check it out.

This site uses a very simple layout to pull off a classy and minimal portfolio. The biggest section on the page is the work sample slider which really gives emphasis to the talent of the designer and therefore highlights the product for sale.

This site presents an interesting mix of grunge textures and modern design elements. I love the shadows under the portfolio items and the faux sticker look.

The messy desk look has sort of been done to death but this site pulls it off much better than most. The wooden texture is really well done and the all the Photoshop work is quite impressive. The bottom portion has some nice shadow effects you should check out as well.

This site uses dark colors and grunge textures to set a young and edgy vibe. I particularly liked the hover effect on the navigation area. It stretches all the way to the top and is sort of a faux lighting illusion.

Looking great in black, this site features a simple artwork display area with a welcome message. There is lots of subtle texture work here that really brings a finished look to the site.
