Squeeze Creative
An immediately intriguing site for a creative design agency. In this instance I really like the use of a static left sidebar, it allows consistently intuitive navigation of the site. The area of black space on the right seems a little pointless and negatively affects the weighting of the layout. The focal slideshow, however, is great and works hard to hold your attention!

A great site for a freelance designer that is a good example if a single column design. The header works really well to hold your attention, as does the focal text and graphic. The gallery is a nice touch and allows any prospective clients to immediately get a taste for his design style and philosophy.

Zoo
An excellent portfolio site for HTML 5 web designer. The gallery is great, I particularly enjoy the way each previous project springs to life as you scroll over it! However, for me it\'s the details throughout that make this site, the icons, buttons, typefaces, and backgrounds.

If I Build It
An awesome and immediately striking site for a solo web developer and designer! I love the slogan and the effective use of text in the header. The use of a single highlight colour works really well here, the yellow details help to hold a visitor\'s attention without bombarding them.

A brutally simple site for a DJ that uses a single photograph as its only focal point. The photograph is striking and works hard to draw you in! I like the minimal amount of text and the simple icon design.

A slightly clumsy yet intriguing site for a social experiment. The use of illustrations throughout is good and works well to keep a visitor reading! The simple colours are great but the layout isn\'t very clear and could benefit from some more tweaking!

DesignsVault
A clear and intuitively designed gallery and marketplace for CSS designs. The attention to detail and awareness of texture is great! I find the simple use of a fading background and single typeface allows the designs in the gallery to grab your attention!

A slightly fussy yet engaging site for a mobile applications designer. The use of illustration is good and helps to hold your attention, but the layout lacks some consistency. I particularly like the subtly fading background.
