A beautiful site that makes incredible use of typefaces. The uncluttered single column approach works really well here, you can't help but scroll to the bottom. I particularly like that you can roll back the top layer of text, it's a very nice touch.

Here is an example of a seriously bold site for a creative team. The use of red and black is striking and makes an immediate statement. I particularly like the attention to detail and photographic slideshow of previous projects.

An awesome site for a design agency that features a huge slideshow of previous projects. The slideshow is very effective at immersing the casual visitor to the site, while the simple yet brilliant concept of the three circles works well to get the identity of the company across. Some of the images are particularly striking!

This is a fantastic site for a jewellery designer! I love the impact of the header and use of high quality photographs to capture the beauty of the diamonds. The way the body of the site scrolls upwards while the header remains works well here, while I particularly like the transparency of the logo.

A striking home site for a graphic designer. I think the decision to keep the text at an absolute minimum unless the user requests it works really well here. Using switches helps to make it an immersive experience and further intrigue any prospective clients, although it may also put some off.

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.

A striking site for a user interface and front-end developer. The large slider makes an immediate impact and immerses any visitors into the work of the designer. I like the restrained use of text, such as the bullet point list, as it helps a visitor to grasp the point of the site quickly.

An awesome portfolio site for a freelance designer. The unique approach to layout here is fascinating and works well to get visitors engaged. The entertaining, and slightly tongue in cheek, tagline makes an immediate impact.

A clean and stylish site for a North London based hairdressers. I like the use of a monochrome scheme for the background, it really helps the photographs to make an impact. I particularly like the intuitive design and how easy it is to grasp what the site is for.

A fascinating site for a graphic/web designer. It manages to make you genuinely feel like he's sitting right in front of you. I like the simplicity of the site although some of the sporadic aspects, the 'Like' box for example, can make it feel a little messy.

I love how striking the graphic style of this site is. It can't fail to draw you in and further intrigue your creative mind. The typeface is excellent and really makes a strong statement alongside the unique, and surreal, illustrations.

An absurdly restrained and minimal site for a digital marketing company. I like the choice that was made to have the homepage kept as simple as possible, you can immediately see what the company does and then click through for more information.

This site can't fail to make an immediate impact! I love the vibrant colours and how the subtle transitory movement of the grey circles in the background make a user feel connected. The restrained use of text and striking central image help to make this an instantly interesting site.

A stylish personal blog and portfolio for a web designer and developer. I like the boldness of the background colour, the circular headshot, and the intuitive layout. It's always good when you can garner what the site is for in a couple of seconds!

A beautiful, and creative, site for an architectural studio. I love the restrained approach and use of text justification as a feature. The gallery of previous projects works extremely well to give a brief idea of philosophy and style.

A great site for a self confessed 'curious designer'. I really like the framing of the body of the site by a textured header and footer, they add interest but keep the content uncluttered. Using a small gallery of recent projects is a great way to add life to any design based site and immediately draws in any visitors.

A brilliantly stylish and simple site a pair of industrial product, graphic, and space designers. I love the simple monochrome approach and stylised sketch as the focal point. The restrained home page works well with only three of their most recent works being shown in the gallery section.

An almost surprisingly bright and vibrant site for a design agency. The use of colour and graphical detail is fascinating and really helps to draw you into the site. It might divide opinion but it won't fail to make an impact!

A beautifully minimalistic site for a furniture designer. I love the straightforward use of photography and the way in which the site allows the furniture to make an impact. The purity of the site is almost striking and appeals immediately due to its clean and intuitive layout.
