CleanSpace

CleanSpace is a flexible and powerful WordPress theme with a clear and modern feel which is easy to setup with many built in features. I like the intuitive layout and the lack of any distracting sidebars or features.

Midnight Oil

Are you building an awesome site? Midnight Oil is a professional online under construction/coming soon template. It'll help to build some suspense for the final reveal!

Snappr

A bright and engaging site for a service that allows you to upload photos to TwitPic from your mobile. The simplicity and intuitive layout of the site is effective at getting clear information to visitors about the service.

Octavo Designs

A site for a creative design solutions company that makes use of a fascinating navigational concept. It reads left to right, but across the entire site! I like the design elements and engaging navigation, it helps to intrigue the visitor.

Defringe

A very stripped back and clean design blog. I like the clear use of the two column layout and the muted colours of the background and text. I particularly like the use of yellow as the highlight colour.

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!

ForwardSlash Designs

A brilliant site for a graphic and web design studio. The slideshow of portfolio designs acts as a great focal point. The logo is well sized and works well against within the overall layout.

Damn Good

This busy but attractive website has a layered feel that brings a lot of depth to the design. There is some really nice illustration work on display and the glossy buttons near the bottom are a nice touch.

Grey Ang

This site uses a bold color spectrum and some nice but subtle particle animations in the background. I like the simplicity of the typography-centric design and how the content fades out and in when you switch pages.

Sheena Oosten

A beautiful site with big, bold graphics that really scream for attention. I love the giant floating slideshow with its harsh shadow and the clean three column layout for the info beneath it.

Forun Brafitec 2010

This page features a noisy textured background with a dramatic vignette that is ideally suited to draw your attention toward the big photographs in the center. The typography on the page is quite nice and worth noting as well.
