iamwebdesign
A solid site for a web design and development agency that has an interesting and unique header. I really like the form of the header and the fading white spots. I also like the way the gallery fills the width of the screen.

Supporting Handmade
A great site that exists to support handmade products, however they're made. I really like the gift tag gallery that simply immerses you in gorgeous handmade designs.

Naranjo Gallery
A brilliant example of a grid design as a web layout. I love the minimal navigation and the size of the blocks. I particularly like the attention paid to type and the interaction of the gallery.

Yin & Yang
Yin & Yang is a light, minimalistic, simple to use portfolio theme. Quick to setup and easy to customize, thanks to the powerful admin panel, and the detailed documentation, Yin & Yang is the perfect theme for showcasing your most important work directly in front of your potential clients.

What The Fox?
A site for a clothing company that immediately grabs your attention, mostly through its stark use of colour and bold text. I have to say that it breaks a cardinal sin of web design, however, by forcing sound effects down your throat...

Outbox
This is a site that makes an immediate impact through the use of type, and a lack of alternative focal points. The strong landing page allows people a simple way into the site and encourages them to delve deeper.

Shoaib Hafeez
A relatively functional site for a web designer that uses a rather nifty gallery structure. I like the character of the site, the ideas of the designer come across very clearly. It also makes it very simple to view particular portfolio designs.

Margo Stilley
An almost ridiculously basic site that serves as a homepage for an actor. The bonus of having a site this plain is that the navigation is clear, as are the contact details. I rather like the simple nature of the single still photograph, it actually helps this site to stick in your mind.

Watracz
A simple but perfectly apt site for a web designer that makes great use of a single colour to highlight important elements. I actually quite like the footer, and the mini gallery of featured stock files that resides there.

A clean and effective site for a web designer, that makes great use of a rather intriguing graphic on the landing page. I like the restrained use of colour throughout, it helps to showcase the designs more clearly.

Altered Landscape
A gorgeous and dramatic site for a collaborative photography project. Altered Landscape is a project where photographers can share their personal vision of landscapes altered by human. The minimal layout and entirely restrained use of colour makes for a stunning site.

Philip Readman Design
A simply stunning site for a graphic and web designer. I love the power that this grid layout has, each individual piece stands out and makes an impact. The minimal background and navigation helps to put the focus solely on the work being displayed.

Big Bite Creative
A solid and well crafted site for a web design agency that makes good use of typography and graphic elements to make an impact. I particularly like the consistent design of the slider and the bold impression it makes.

HACKAFONE
An extremely weird, yet supremely fascinating site that really grabs your attention. I actually quite like the business and oddity of the central design, you can't say this site doesn't have character!

Muchbeta
A stylish and intriguing site for a company that provides corporate web solutions. I really like the restrained use of colour and the fascinating display of stats and figures. The leather sofa makes a really strong statement.

Citizen Relations
A solid site for a PR agency that uses a strong colour palette to make a statement. I particularly like the effective use of red on black and the typography of the logo.

All About James
A stunning site for a designer that is striking on first glance! The juxtaposition between the dark header section and the lighter gallery portion of the site works really well. I'm particularly fond of the implementation of the gallery section.

1000psd
A simple but clean site that gives access to free photoshop files, perfect for any budding designer to play around with. I like the rigid grid structure in this instance, it makes a strong statement.

Vuzum
A clean and functional site for a web design studio. I like the use of a slider to show previous examples of work, and the subtle background colours. The navigation is intuitive, while the site gives you a good idea of what the company does.

In Motion
I really like the layout and design of this particular site, especially the illustration on the left that only becomes entirely clear after you realise it's a site for a mobile massage company. The colour palette is great, while the iconography makes a real statement.
