Brokedesign
An outstanding design portfolio site. Immediately draws your attention to the dramatic design in the centre and leads you to enquire further. The use of polaroids as thumbnails is great and I also like the contrast of the bright primary colours with the black and white interface of the site.

A great looking post card site. The images have a delightful hand-drawn feel and really grab your attention. One design element that really appeals to me is the use of custom drawn Facebook and Twitter badges.

Tumblr (iPhone)
The Tumblr App for iPhone is a simple and straightforward way to manage your site on the go and its interface is perfect for just that. Its iPhone consistent UI is great and the use of only three tabs further increases its usability.

Squarespace (iPhone)
Squarespace for the iPhone has an undeniably stylish interface that uses custom icons to great success! I particularly like the consistent use of white, greys, and black throughout the App.

Picto Foundry
This site has a clear three column layout and uses colours very effectively in order to draw your attention to its icon and button packages. I like that the Picto Foundry site gradually guides you down the page as it goes into more detail about its packages.

An incredibly bright software site that makes a massive impact. The orange logo really grabs your attention while the text concisely conveys its message.

Viccolla
A ridiculously minimalistic site with a centred logo and a clear description of the company. The logo is a great focal point and the simple layout guides users straight to the portfolio and testimonials.

Homepage Helden
A clear and stylish corporate web design with excellent custom icons and an animated header. I like the clean layout of the site and its colour swatch. The animated white dots (while essentially superfluous) are a nice detail.

Sir Chesterfield
This furniture site is minimal but extremely effective. The custom typeface is perfectly fitting for the company while the dark background adds an element of class to the whole site. I particularly like the high quality photographs of the sofas.

Monterail
A great neutral design with subtle colour accents. I particularly like the dramatic focal image. In addition, the typeface fits the overall design and the text keeps its explanation concise.

InfinVision
A fantastically original site with really unique typographical illustrations and a really refreshing layout. Be sure to scroll to the bottom and have a look at the footer for even more design goodness.

A really love the design of this page. The gallery steals the show and features two different sliding animations running in different directions. The piece of word art under the headline is quite attractive as well.

A great looking page that has been overrun with illustrated vines. I like the navigation icons and the footer design. Definitely a great web page!

Proxart
This design style is fairly trendy right now and I am beginning to see it more and more. The basic premise is a very modular, grid layout with large squares placed over a beautiful photographic background. The end product is really nice.

The header on this site steals the show. It features a great cityscape photo with an animated transition. Notice how the text on the photographic background has been treated. It is not easy to place text over such a busy photo but this solution is both easy and attractive.

Webportio
This site offers free Adobe Fireworks resources for designers. The site has a fairly simple design, but the layout and colors are really nice and it does not look like your typical downloads site.

This great design features lots of big, bold elements that are really quite stunning. The most impressive feature here is how well the design automatically reflows itself when you narrow the browser window size. Some of the best fluid layout work I have seen!

This site features an excellently executed retro theme that is both fun and gorgeous. I love the use of colors and illustrations combined with the detailed stroke work on the edges.
