Bitfoundry
A gorgeous site for a web design studio. I love the use of typography and dramatic, and large, slogan. The slogan works really well to draw people in, as does the slider of recent projects.

Bjarke Clauson-Kaas
A well structured and intuitive portfolio site for a web designer. I like the use of colour and motion that the arrow elements give the site. The gallery is simple but functional, with colour fading in as you scroll over an entry.

Mind Epic
A great site for an agency specialising in web and mobile design. There is good use of typeface and illustrations/diagrams throughout. I particularly like the consistent colour palette, it helps to unify the content of the site.

Above the Fold
A brilliant site for a book on design! Admittedly it would look bad if the site for a book by a web designer was shoddy, but this is a delight. I love the static header and consistent use of colours and design elements.

Archibald Studio
An interesting site for a design studio based in Strasbourg that uses some great illustration to draw you in! The spacing is good as is the overall layout. I like the clean design and simple use of colour, it doesn\'t bombard your senses!

The PSD Slicers
A straightforward site that aids you in converting PSD\'s to HTML and CSS. The layout and design is adequate for a primarily functional site and does make good use of graphic illustrations. Good use of a solid typeface goes a long way towards holding a visitors attention!

Casa Laura
A beautiful site for a bed and breakfast. The use of a three photograph slideshow works well as a focal point while the remainder of the site exudes class and style. I particularly like the nice touches of detail and typeface used.

Boque
A brilliant layout for a photography site that uses a relatively dark brown palette which draws attention to the photographs. I particularly like the space given to the header.

Kenne Deine Rechte
A nice, clean design with bright pops of color in all the right places. I really like the interesting abstract shapes in the logo. They feel like 3D objects that Picasso created or something. An interesting effect!

Alertful
Alertful is a simple and free service that sends you friendly reminders for anything you need to remember. The page is cleverly designed with sticky notes and a friendly illustrated character.

Sign Relation
I chose this site pretty much based solely on the header. It is a colorful, attractive and crazy piece of typographic art that really sets a unique stage for the rest of the site.

NZ By Bike
Stop by this page and see the unique sketchy 3D style they have going on with the text and boxes of content. The page does a great job of organizing a ton of content in a really attractive manner.

Icon Moon
A great looking page that serves as the portfolio for an icon designer. I like the cloud theme, the smooth slider and how the moon in the logo changes to a house on hover. Lots of great design work here.

Web Station Inc
I loved this site instantly because it did not look like anything that I have seen before. The design is quite original and attractive and makes great use of color, texture and lighting effects.

ShelfLuv
This site builds a selection of books for you instantly as you type in a query. The design is very much like that of the Apple iBooks interface with a nice wooden bookshelf that displays cover art, often with a Kindle peeking out from behind the book.

Leslee Mitchell
This site is an absolutely beautiful photography blog with an awesome collection of work and a brilliant layout. The little graphical banners and the old-style typography really finish of the design and give it a classy feel.

The Bridal Boutique
This site features a really clean and professional design and plenty of high quality photography. I really like the navigation area with the pop out hover effects. The lightly textured background is also a nice touch.

Mix & Mash
This site has a wonderfully unique design that plays heavily on the title and uses a ribbon coming out of a blender as a banner for text. I love the color scheme, original concept and slight background animations.

VReplay
This simple but stunning web page uses high contrast graphics and deep colors to grab your attention. The hot air balloon is a nice touch and I love that big headline with heavily recessed type.

Awesome JS
This site features an excellent retro illustration theme that really makes for a beautiful page. I also really like the choice of fonts used throughout the site. They are both highly readable and quite attractive.
