A simply gorgeous site for a one day event for web designers and developers, that offers the opportunity to meet up with industry friends and peers, and have a day of adventure out in the countryside. I really like the graphical style and simple use of animations and typography.

A simple but effective portfolio for a small design studio. I really like the space in the header section, it contrasts well with the grid layout of the gallery. I really like the way the neutral colours allows the previous work to make an impact.

An unerringly bright and vibrant site for a sunglasses retailer. The colourful and carefree nature of the images can't fail to make a strong impact. I really like the extensive gallery layout of the rest of the site, the ability to scroll through all the items without changing page is a good touch.

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.

Born in the Barn
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 well structured and intuitive portfolio site for a web designer. I like the use of colour and motion that the arrow elements give the site. The gallery is simple but functional, with colour fading in as you scroll over an entry.

egopop
A fascinating site for a creative studio that, for better or worse, makes a strong statement. At least the navigation is simple and concise. The vivid colours and childlike graphics are engaging but may put some people off.

Tinkering Monkey
A great, and gorgeous, site for a pair of designers and their woodworking studio. I love the custom typeface and consistent use of colour. I like that the gallery of pieces doesn't use borders, it helps the products to make their own impact.

Mostly Serious
A clean and clear portfolio site for a web design agency. I like the simple background and intuitive layout, although there is perhaps a little too much space between the logo and the 'Work' section. I like that the purpose of the site is immediately clear.

The typefaces used here are what make this site. As a site for a creative web development agency it's effective at getting across its design philosophy. I particularly like the subtle use of colour and straightforward gallery of previous work.

A brilliant and superbly effective site for a sporting club in the British West Indies. The large photographic slideshow can't fail to make an immediate impression! The site navigation is stylish but reserved, helping to keep the stunning visuals at centre stage.
