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.

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.

A great site for an online shoe store. I love the impact that the pixelated full screen video makes when you first visit the site. The icons and illustrations work well to make a statement about the style of the company.
