A simply gorgeous site for an interactive designer. I love the way the gallery elements come to life as you scroll over them. The interactive nature of this designers work comes across through the use of subtle but effective animations.

A strong portfolio site for a company that specialises in branding and identities. I like the intuitive layout, the whole site is organised around the grid structure. The darker background colour allows the designs in the gallery to hold your attention and draw you in.

It's somehow very appropriate and right that the site for Mint Themes is as fresh and clean as its WordPress themes aim to be. The use of textures and buttons is great, the details really adding to the site as a whole.

Sideshow is a funktastic portfolio theme for the artsy fartsy with a built-in Tumblr style blogging system. It’s simple, to the point, and does little to distract viewers away from your work but everything to showcase it – exactly how a portfolio should function.

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 fascinating site that immediately draws you in with its initial drastic minimalism. I love the way the navigation works, taking you carefully through an explanation of the site. The use of typography and design really helps to set the bar for this site.

A fantastic site for a company that sells gift cards. I simply adore the illustrative style and use of bold and striking icons. The concept is neatly and concisely explained, something that is often sorely missing.

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!

A stunning site that draws you in immediately through sheer intrigue. I love the use of typography and the strong and consistent colours and design. The dramatic emboldening effect that scrolling over text has gives you a strange sense of power.

A gorgeous example of a fashion site, Twelve Saturdays makes good use of typography and intuitive design. The only issue for me is the way the footer keeps running away from you!
