An excellent portfolio site that immediately draws you in! The use of a gallery as the central focus works and brings colour and life to the site. I particularly like the little details that make all the difference. Details such as the arrows that guide you in and the ripped effect of the gallery items.

A company site that makes an immediate impact. The use of colour is interesting and the luxurious use of space is compelling! It can be surprisingly effective not to bombard visitors with excessive content.

Although only really a section of a blog this is a site that has to be seen to be understood. It\'s just an awesome example of brilliant web design that captures your imagination! I love how with every inch it draws you in and demands that you delve further!

Bento is personal database management in true Mac style. Filemaker really stepped up and addressed the complicated nature of their apps and made Bento both beautiful and simple to use. The sheer array of options for customisation is awesome!

A beautiful site for a handmade clothing company that uses photography extremely effectively! I love the hand-drawn logo and the lightness of the site.

An excellent site for a web design company that adequately showcases its ability to create beautiful graphics and websites. The use of a portfolio slideshow is a common but effective tool for holding the visitors attention! I love the portrayal of the simple company logo on a scrap of notepaper!

A beautiful site that collects together free and premium photoshop brushes. The background is subtle yet gorgeous, while the use of a gallery is excellent and really grabs your attention! I absolutely love the care that has gone into the logo design!

A clear and useable site for a website testing company. It\'s not essential for a site that is more functional (like this one) to be pretty, but it\'s still worth the effort. The colour palette is plain but works and it must be said that the layout and use of typeface is good.

An interesting site for a web portfolio. The graphic on the right is intriguing and certainly makes an impact but the overall spacing feels slightly off - the redundant gap beneath the header is screaming for attention! Overall, the black and silver approach is stylish but could benefit from some colour.

An excellent site for a web designer! I love the slideshow of graphic illustrations and their sense of humour. Great use of colour throughout and immediately interesting for visitors!

I\'m in two minds about this site. I like the simplistic header and the contrasting use of orange against the white of the background, but the central slideshow doesn\'t quite fit with the overall design. Having a showcase of your company\'s portfolio is an effective way to hold a visitors attention but in this example it almost stands out too much!

A straightforward but undeniably effective portfolio for a web designer. The intuitive header is good and I like the size and readability of the main typeface. The coffee mug and cookie design is a nice touch and adds interest to the focal area of the site.

A wed design site that makes a stunning, and immediate, impact! The central logo grabs your attention while the important content falls effectively into a relatively common layout. I particularly like the supreme attention to graphical detail.
Posted in Web Design → DesignA beautifully minimal site for a web design and development company. The brutally sparing use of content allows the viewer to immediately take in the fundamentals of the site. I really like the use of brushstroke colour at the bottom, waves in an ocean of colour.

A simple but effective portfolio site. The design showcase in the centre works well, as does the gallery section below. I like the uncluttered nature of the site and the manageable content.

The header of this site just hits you in the face as it appears! It makes an awesome statement and urges you to look further. I love the overall feel of this site and the use of typefaces to highlight important content.

Pulse News fo iPad sports what can only be described as a gorgeous interface. The use of neutrals and a light blue allows the photographs to take centre stage. I particularly like the transparency used throughout and the clear icons and typeface used.

For a site dedicated to classic movies this hits the mark perfectly! The subtle detail is excellent, as is the colour palette. The consistency throughout the site is good as is the use of a star ratings system is muted colours.

An excellent site for an antiques seller. The use of neutral colours allows the slideshow of fascinating antiques to flourish. The central logo is perfect and makes a good statement. It\'s also worth noting that the site continues to fascinate as you move downwards - using antique photography and simple descriptive text.

A great design site that makes an instant impact! The use of colour is subtle but effective while the overall feel of the site really works. The Twitter, Facebook, and Blog links are great, as is the company logo!
