Wine Sisterhood

Here's an excellent site that's all about wine. I love the illustrative style and the effective use of imagery.

Cellcode

A simply superb site for a multi-platform software development company. I love the way they've taken the metro-style interface as an inspiration - the coloured blocks make a great impact.

Mailboxing

An awesome site for an iOS game that makes an immediate impact due to the effortless character of the web design. The typography and graphic illustrations work to draw any visitor in.

Last Game

Here we have an interesting site that uses vertical scrolling to draw you in and whet your appetite.

ShopLocket

A strong site that aims to introduce you to a new way to implement selling through your site. I like the strong vertical layout that takes you through the key things you need to know, and the consistent use of iconography.

A great design portfolio site that makes an immediate impact. I really like the strong use of images to give you a taste of the abilities of this designer. The intuitive layout simply and easily leads people through the site.

Pandr

A beautifully crafted site for a web design and development agency. I love the illustrative style and attention to detail, the little graphics and icons help to really engage with visitors. I particularly like the use of typeface and consistent application of colour throughout the site, it gives a strong sense of coherence.

Free Faces

A beautifully designed site that's simply a way for this particular designer to share some of his favourite free fonts with the world. I love the use of typography and emphatic use of colour, it looks just gorgeous.

Sprout

A simple but effective site for a company that purports to be able to grow your business online. I like the trail that you follow through the various stages of description. The use of colour is good, the green helping to make a strong statement.

Made by Chipmunk

An incredibly vibrant and colourful site for a graphic designer. It makes an immediate statement about the personality of the designer and the style of his work. I love the simple and clean design of the portfolio gallery, it works well in contrast to the rest of the site.

Inservio

This site features some really stellar illustration work. I love the color palette, character design and simple messaging. Be sure to stop by the site and have a look around.

Ian Mintz

The watercolor illustration of clouds on this site is quite beautiful and interestingly combined with origami birds for an altogether unique look. I like the single-page nature of the site and how the content for other pages scrolls in via jQuery instead of additional page loads.

This beautiful site design combines bold colors, excellent illustrations and perfect typography to create a really stunning effect. I love the green theme with the growing plants and really find the site to be attractive from top to bottom.

Mealeo

Mealo is a food ordering website with an awesomely clean and original design. The site is an elegant mix of fun and professional design that makes it immediately clear what the site does.

Bam Creative

A relatively simple design that makes a few really bold statements. I love the huge bomb, the bright background color repeated in important places around the site, and the peeling labels.

Spoon Juice

Spoon Juice is a beautiful iPhone developer website with a dark background containing a subtle spectrum, nice glowing typography and great icon design. The animations on the main slider are also really excellent. Each panel expands as you click on it and the icon within enlarges with a smooth effect.

Anderbose

Anderbose is the personal portfolio of Brad Haynes. I love the dark theme, lighting effects, and clean grid layout displayed here. The node-based content works really well in this context.
