Volunteer Louisiana
A simply gorgeous site for a volunteering charity for Louisiana. I really like the combination of photographic elements with graphic design. My one complaint is that the static header is quite large and obscures a significant proportion of the content proper.

Joel and Janna
A simple but beautifully crafted site that subtly draws you in. I love the art on the cover of the EP and the use of photography. The simple music player is a nice touch, as are the social connection links.

StartingBloc Needs You
A truly awesome site that's designed to raise money and donations for Startingbloc. I love the unique navigation and layout, it's got to be experienced to be understood! The attention to typography and design is just brilliant.

Kings of Mambo
I like the black background that has been used for the site of this creative design studio, it allows the colourful designs to make an impact. The uneven grid layout is effective at grabbing your attention, while the interesting logo further intrigues visitors.

CAGE
An intriguing design site that allows you to showcase your work and get feedback from the community. I like some of the touted features, the ability to tag a section of a design with a comment is a particular favourite.

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.

DropIn
A simple site for a piece of software that works as an in-tray for your Dropbox. I like the simple but memorable graphics and the restrained use of text. The blue colour helps to link it to the service that it's complementing.

Graphical Ink
A clean and intuitive site for a web design agency. I like the straightforward layout and use of typeface. The little details are what help this site stand out from the rest.

Imitation In Web Design
A fascinating design centred page that brings up some important points for the web design industry. I really like the overall style of the site and the quirky graphic illustrations. The colours work really well and show a clear knack for good design, the content is calm and accurately portrays the feeling of losing a design to unscrupulous designers (?).

Anderson de Paulo
A fascinating design site for a designer that can't fail to make an instant impact. The colours are so vivid they immediately intrigue and capture your attention. Whether you like the design or not, you can't help but look.

Bronco
A bright and bold site for web design and marketing agency. The use of icons and illustration throughout really helps to give the site character, it makes a statement about the company itself. The intuitive layout is great and helps to guide you through the page, you can immediately tell what it is the company does.

Turks & Caicos Sporting Club
A brilliant and superbly effective site for a sporting club in the British West Indies. The large photographic slideshow can't fail to make an immediate impression! The site navigation is stylish but reserved, helping to keep the stunning visuals at centre stage.

Ray Cheung
The fascinating personal site of an online entrepreneur! The overall design, of pages on a wood effect background, works well to grab and hold your attention. The use of icons is great and complements the relatively intuitive layout of the site.

Center Of Attention
This gorgeous site is dedicated to the artwork, graphics and logos of record center labels. I love the minimal layout and the way the record collection is thrust immediately into the limelight! The header typeface is excellent and superbly striking while the overall design lends itself perfectly to enjoyable browsing!

The Queenstown Trail
A straightforward but effective site for The Queenstown Trail. The use of photography is excellent and really works to grab your attention. The clear typeface makes the site easily accessible while the trail sign adds a nice touch of character!

Bento for Mac
Bento is personal database management in true Mac style. Filemaker really stepped up and addressed the complicated nature of their apps and made Bento both beautiful and simple to use. The sheer array of options for customisation is awesome!

Netzbewegung
I\'m in two minds about this site. I like the simplistic header and the contrasting use of orange against the white of the background, but the central slideshow doesn\'t quite fit with the overall design. Having a showcase of your company\'s portfolio is an effective way to hold a visitors attention but in this example it almost stands out too much!

Ogvidius
A simple but effective portfolio site. The design showcase in the centre works well, as does the gallery section below. I like the uncluttered nature of the site and the manageable content.

Pulse News Reader for iPad
Pulse News fo iPad sports what can only be described as a gorgeous interface. The use of neutrals and a light blue allows the photographs to take centre stage. I particularly like the transparency used throughout and the clear icons and typeface used.

Kreeate
A great portfolio site that effectively uses coloured borders to grab your attention. The logo is simple but is recognisable and makes a good statement. I particularly like the fun central illustration.
