A simple but purely effective site for a Dutch street fashion house, specializing in ready-to-wear, decorative arts, books and accessories. I really like the illustrations and intuitive site design, while the large image makes a strong statement.

Born in the Barn
A fascinating site for recruiting new people to The Site Doctor team. I love the concept of this site and the way you can collect your favourite job concepts into a 'hand'. The design is engaging, if a little confusing - playing cards and the barn don't seem to go hand in hand.

Restaurant Porte Sainte Claire Annecy
A brilliant restaurant site that makes an immediate impact. I love the food photography here, it's a difficult thing to get right but the colour and freshness of the food here is clearly evident. The simple central block of information is easy to understand and clear, people often just want the vital details when looking up a restaurant online.

Bärnt & Ärnst
A rather fascinating site for a pair of web developers that is unevenly weighted to the left. While the uneven weight may frustrate some, it also lends the site a unique appeal. I particularly like the gentle colour palette and use of icons throughout.

A stunning site for a kitchen design company! I love the massive photographic slideshow and the incredible impact it has when you first visit the page! The logo is stylish but subtle and works really well on the slightly transparent menu bar.

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.

Bagatelle Records
An immediately intriguing site for a vinyl record shop based in Long Beach. The illustrations work well to hold a visitors attention although there\'s a lot more that could be done with vinyl art. I like the use of typeface and division of the background!

A whole site devoted to a boat! The map based background adds interest while the fundamental content is easily readable and contained with the central boxes. I like the straightforward use of a header for all navigation purposes.

An excellent site for a web design company that adequately showcases its ability to create beautiful graphics and websites. The use of a portfolio slideshow is a common but effective tool for holding the visitors attention! I love the portrayal of the simple company logo on a scrap of notepaper!
