Frontend 2011
An appropriately designed site for a front-end developers conference, I like the consistent theme and use of typography. The caricatures of the speakers are a novel way to add illustrative interest.

Saathiva Creations
A solid and clean site for a web development agency that makes a strong first impression. The use of white space and straight lines makes a good statement. The large slider gives a snapshot of all of the aspects of the agency and everything that they can help you with.

A beautifully clean and stylish site for a company that provides CMS for web designers. I love the gorgeous details such as the ribbon effect on the navigation bar. The colour scheme is interesting but not overwhelming, while the icons and layout explain the concept perfectly.

Garnish
Garnish is a clean-cut, straight to the point, simple to use portfolio theme. The uncluttered, one-page, ajax-powered portfolio is perfect for placing your most important work directly in front of your potential clients. If you have ever used a “coming soon” page in place of your portfolio on account of being too busy, Garnish is for you. It’s simple, convenient and to the point. If you’re the modifying type, it’s a pretty decent blank canvas too!

Postscript 5
A brutally clean site for a seasoned graphic designer. The layout is intuitive but could use more interesting details. I do, however, like the restrained monochrome social networking icons.
