Scriptmatix is a software company specializing in business solutions. The layered website showcase is attractive and I like the typefaces that were used. The large red button is a bit awkwardly placed but stands out well and successfully grabs your attention.

A nice minimalist design with lots of gray and white, thick but subtle borders, and really excellent typography throughout. In addition to the strong use of fonts throughout the design, the artist has built and impressive typographic portrait of himself.

The layout could admittedly use a little work on this site, but i really like some of the features of the design. The icons in the top right are simple and effective, the images have a nice sliding effect on hover, and the boxes of content near the bottom of the page are very well designed.

This single page portfolio does an excellent job of organizing important information into a visual hierarchy that would be effective for potential employers and clients. The design is light and airy, with a nice CSS3 letterpress effect on the headline and a thick white border providing strong contrast between the photos and background.

I really like the letterpressed typography and mixture of soft and bold colors in this site. The brightly colored thumbnails have a nice rounded corner border and turn grayscale when you hover over them. If you stop by the site, be sure to check out the nice graphic in the footer. Another great feature is the "back to top" button that stays with you as you scroll.

Bright colors, nice typography and plenty of whitespace are the primary design features that stand out here. I really like the simple, stepped sticky note idea. These also feature a nice page curl rollover on hover.

It is a completely original graphic that really makes the site memorable. Other nice touches include the slowly changing customer testimonials in the top right and the subtle background gradient.

The portfolio of Charlie Gentle, a Web Developer working in Nottingham, UK. The dark background contrasts nicely with the large white typography and the white sketchy elements. I am a sucker for side scrolling sites so this one gets a bonus for using this method. Also, as you scroll through the site, the bokeh at the top is animated with a 3D parallax effect that is just excellent.
