Helmetgirl
A fascinating site for a web designer and illustrator that's sure to divide opinion. The layout is intriguing but doesn't make good use of the screen real estate, I'm not convinced. The illustrations, however, are great at making an impact and holding the attention of visitors.

A great site for a creative and graphic design studio. The bold use of colour helps it to make an impact, while the repeated use of the logo cements it in your mind. I particularly like how intuitive and straightforward the site is.

Wells Riley
A striking home site for a graphic designer. I think the decision to keep the text at an absolute minimum unless the user requests it works really well here. Using switches helps to make it an immersive experience and further intrigue any prospective clients, although it may also put some off.

IWANNABEADESIGNER
A striking site for a user interface and front-end developer. The large slider makes an immediate impact and immerses any visitors into the work of the designer. I like the restrained use of text, such as the bullet point list, as it helps a visitor to grasp the point of the site quickly.

A bold HTML5 site for a web designer that has clearly had a lot of attention given to it. I like impact that the header makes and clear way the site leads you through. A good example of a how a single column layout can work.

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.

Intuition HQ (New)
A clear and useable site for a website testing company. It\'s not essential for a site that is more functional (like this one) to be pretty, but it\'s still worth the effort. The colour palette is plain but works and it must be said that the layout and use of typeface is good.
