My Website Bites
A nice looking site that is oddly enough all about ugly websites. The design is fairly simple but the color scheme is quite nice and the photography used in the slideshow is humorously appropriate.

Honda
Normally I hate car company websites but this one features a really sharp design that is completely clutter free and quite modern looking. The large photos really speak volumes about the products and grab your attentions and the bold red pulls you down to where there is more information.

A fun looking design with bright colors and custom illustrations. I like the use of the MacBook to hold the image gallery as well as the implementation of Museo through @font-face.

Redup
This site features a great looking modern design with nice illustrations and attractive typography. The rocket ship creates a strong focal element which is then flanked by two clearly written mission statements. Definitely some great work!

Captovate
This site features beautifully rich graphics, solid icon design and attractive custom fonts. I especially like that the slideshow at the top takes up the full browser width. That is a neat trick that I do not often see!

This is a very simple site with two key design elements: typography and color. The type choices are really quite nice, I like the inset letterpress look. The colors are mostly uniform but still quite bright and friendly.

Reportage Photography
Photographer sites are best when the designer lets the photos speak for themselves by making them the largest element on the page. This designer definitely got it right. The classy minimalist design really helps highlight the work o display.

An interesting site that uses a sewing metaphor for graphic design services. Vector Stories uses old style sketches and grungy paper textures to achieve a believable aged look.
