Aribeo
A wonderful portfolio site for a creative freelancer! I love that the sidebar remains stationary while you scroll through the gallery to the \'about me\' section. The minimalism of this design is great and perfectly adorned with little handwritten comments and doodles.

Dotvita
Dotvita aims to \'make ideas aerodynamic\' and their site perfectly reflects this by following an airline theme. I love the gorgeous layout and beautiful use of icons and little details. The slightly abstract header instantly intrigues any visitor to the site and makes you want to investigate further!

The first thing that hits you here is the striking header! It\'s brave to use so much space on a single image but it really works here. The contrast between the light header and dark grey background of the rest of the site is really effective, as is the consistent use of the same design ideas!

Zoo
An excellent portfolio site for HTML 5 web designer. The gallery is great, I particularly enjoy the way each previous project springs to life as you scroll over it! However, for me it\'s the details throughout that make this site, the icons, buttons, typefaces, and backgrounds.

An extremely classy site for a stylish club. I love the stripped back design and use of a single colour photograph as the focal point! That the vital links are shown on the left hand side rather than in a header is a nice touch!

Print Handbook
A brilliant site design that features some really nice detail. The coloured \'buy it\' buttons are great, as is the execution of the three column approach! I love the fresh approach to layout shown here, the site guides you left to right across the columns rather than straight down the page.

An awesome and immediately striking site for a solo web developer and designer! I love the slogan and the effective use of text in the header. The use of a single highlight colour works really well here, the yellow details help to hold a visitor\'s attention without bombarding them.

Kappa Creative
A clean and professional site for a design and development company. The use of a gallery to showcase previous projects always works well and this is no exception! The little details really make this design, the boxed text in the gallery and the subtle integration of the twitter logo!
