The watercolor illustration of clouds on this site is quite beautiful and interestingly combined with origami birds for an altogether unique look. I like the single-page nature of the site and how the content for other pages scrolls in via jQuery instead of additional page loads.

WP Ninja
WP Ninja has a fun ninja theme that is carried out well in illustrations throughout the site. The homepage has a ton of content but it is organized quite well and flows in a logical fashion. Not an easy task but pulled off nicely here.

AKA Acid
This awesome site uses a heavy dose of beautiful 3D modeling to create immersive and fantastical scenes on every page. I love the treatment of typography throughout the site and the modeling is really excellent.

Squarefour
Squarefour is a web development agency based in New Orleans. Their site is attractive and makes great use of both textures and typography. The slightly graphical dividing lines are a nice touch as well.

CreativeSwitch
A great looking site with a fun robot theme. I like that the background image is fixed while the artwork scrolls. I also like the custom illustrations and bold high contrast color scheme.

UpHype
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.

Theory Design
Theory Design is the online portfolio of Ryan McCaster, a designer from Vancouver. The rough texture watercolor background is the star of this site, perfectly accented by all of the inset letterpress effects on the graphical elements.

Baker Associates
One of the nicer and more unique corporate sites I have seen in a long time. I love the look and feel of this site. The layout, colors, typography and photography all flow really well together.

Cromulent Design
This site features a bright green background and funny illustrated characters hanging upside down from the top of the screen. If you visit the site, be sure to scroll down to the well designed footer featuring a tree and some Twitter birds.

Web Crafter
This page features a simple but effective gallery of images with a nice rounded corner effect. The solid black background really makes the images stand out nicely and sets the stage for the spotlight effect with the logo at the top.
