A great site for a design agency that draws you in with its bright use of colours. I like the illustrations and graphic styling of the site, it gives an idea of the style of the designers. The simple five-slide gallery slider works well to showcase recent work.

Gadget-o
An awesome site that showcases fascinating high quality gadgets. The use of photography is excellent, as is the uncluttered nature of the site. I particularly like the concept that the page should scroll sideways, it's novel and adds an interesting twist to the gallery format.

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.

The designer whose site this is purports to make websites that \'function\' & \'sparkle\' and this one certainly does! The bold focal graphic and luxurious use of space combine and make it a joy to look around. I particularly like the way the site gradually draws you down the page.

Volusion
This friendly looking site features a rich primary color palette and a very web 2.0 feel. The sketches over the photograph make the space more inviting and lighthearted and the use of icons really helps break up the content into manageable chucnks.

Pancake is a way to receive and track payments and project deliverables. The cartoony illustration style is fun and the bright colors work well together. The overall design is quite clean with plenty of white space.

Agile Style
An interesting take on the grid-based portfolio. I like the hover effects and the scattered client quotes. Those really help to provide comfort for potential clients who might be wary about hiring a designer they are not familiar with.
