Tijuana Flats

I cannot decide if this site is hideous or beautiful, but it is certainly unique! The out of control illustrations cover every inch of the long homepage and the head of the monster at the top pops off and stays with you as you scroll!

Volusion

This friendly looking site features a rich primary color palette and a very web 2.0 feel. The sketches over the photograph make the space more inviting and lighthearted and the use of icons really helps break up the content into manageable chucnks.

Owen Shifflett

A really great looking portfolio page with super thin typography, a subtle background texture and even a little bit of humor. I love the contrast of the yellow on the black. These two colors always make a bold statement when combined and the result here is a fairly classy theme.

Mealeo

Mealo is a food ordering website with an awesomely clean and original design. The site is an elegant mix of fun and professional design that makes it immediately clear what the site does.

Agile Style

An interesting take on the grid-based portfolio. I like the hover effects and the scattered client quotes. Those really help to provide comfort for potential clients who might be wary about hiring a designer they are not familiar with.

Theme Exchange

Theme Exchange is a a new site featuring and selling Magento themes. The design is nice and simple with four rounded-corner containment boxes for the content. The layout is super clean and uses bright colors to pull your attention to all the right places.

Elegant Web

Elegant Web is a web and logo design agancy. This site features a great old world look with rough paper textures and slab serif typography.

Wolf CMS

The website for Wolf CMS, a freely downloadable content management system. I love the contrasting light and dark earthy colors, subtle single pixel strokes and nice background gradient.

James Childers

The online portfolio of designer James Childers. This site features an strongly textured background and muted content and a perfect color scheme. All of this lends to the faded look that the designer is going for. As you hover over the images, their opacity slowly transitions to 100%.

Made By Rocket

This design features a large slideshow as the primary visual. The bright colors stand out really well against the muted gray background. Notice that the little text above the slideshow has a letterpress effect but still remains live. An excellent use of CSS to create traditional Photoshop text effects.

Anderbose

Anderbose is the personal portfolio of Brad Haynes. I love the dark theme, lighting effects, and clean grid layout displayed here. The node-based content works really well in this context.
