Handdy
An excellent example of a site for an app developer. I really like the intuitive layout and clear use of text, while the hand-drawn social icons work great.

Saint Luke
A strong example of a rigid grid layout that works perfectly as the landing page for an artist management agency. I like the bold use of imagery and the strict use of black and white for the rest of the text and navigation, it gives extra weight to the photographs.

Cultural Solutions
A brilliant HTML5 site for a creative and cultural consultancy. I simply love the colours used for the background and the way it adapts as you move down the site. The information is all clearly displayed and the site just flows.

A fascinating portfolio site for a photographer and web designer. I find the use of green and yellow an interesting combination. The cutout effect on the separate grids works well to add some character to a standard gallery format.

Landshare
An inspirational site that aims to connect growers to people with land to share! The use of colour here is excellent and really draws your eye to where it needs to be. I love how within seconds you understand the Landshare concept without even trying - a great sign of clever web design! I particularly like the Landshare logo and encouraging members ticker!

The watercolor illustration of clouds on this site is quite beautiful and interestingly combined with origami birds for an altogether unique look. I like the single-page nature of the site and how the content for other pages scrolls in via jQuery instead of additional page loads.

BarleyPop
BarleyPop is a beer review blog for the sophisticated drinker. The header of this site is simply fantastic and really makes the blog seem high quality regardless of what content lies below.

Grid Based Web Design
This is a custom-design blog post from Design Informer. I really like the retro colors and typography at work here. The headline specifically is just excellent.
