The colors and swirly artwork on this site are a perfect visual suggestion of coffee and the photographic elements and textures have been skillfully combined in Photoshop. Overall, it is a nice looking site that feels unique while remaining easy to use.

This site design is an awesome combination of color, texture and photography. Notice that the design is not just attractive but highly functional. The restaurant hours are placed right on the homepage because they are probably one of the main reasons people stop by the site.

I like the boldness of the design here with the huge letters and colored circle. The single page format is nice as well, as you click to each section you can see that it was given as much attention and thought as the first.

This site uses an awesome argyle patter in conjunction with a perfect color scheme and some subtle textures. I love the bold script font used here and the fixed background that makes the content seem to float on scroll.

This site uses a giant iPad to display the designer portfolio. To mimic the functionality of the real iPad, you click and swipe to advance to the next image; a clever idea!

This is a beautiful site with a blurry photographic background and lots of contrast. Notice how the designer uses eye contact to draw you in and keeps you interested with large, stunning numbers about the project.

This site features a flying sea turtle island with a windmill on its back. How cool is that? In addition to this crazy graphic, I like the textured background and use of all caps in the headers.

This site reminds of the first hints of minimalism in the 90s. I like the bold contrast and variation between the thick and thin lines. The modular format is interesting too and can be rearranged to your preferences.

This page is both incredibly fun and incredibly beautiful. The textures, color and illustrations are all perfectly executed and the tiki theme is hilarious. I love the Twitter bird with the mask and the little animated guys at the bottom of the page.

The design above is a really great looking under construction page from the awesome designer Claudiu Cioba. I love the typography and the use of circles in the design. The overall effect is classy but in an aged sort of way.

This site has a ton of detail work that is really nice. There are lots of subtle effects in textures, strokes, shadows and points of color that really finish off the design nicely.

A nice bold design with lots of big elements. Normally I would not be crazy about using all caps through the entire site but it works well here with the bold condensed font.
