• Media 64

  I’m going to be honest with you, the first things I noticed about Media 64 are the problems that I thought it would create. First instance being that some of the text in the header images are actually images. However, after disabling styling and images I found that ... More

• Nice Design

  Nice Designs is nice! (Yes I am aware of how lame that was.) It is a design which is a mixture of a big noticeable header, unique and easy-to-use [tag]tabbed menu[/tag], the [tag]Fixed Position[/tag] property which degrades nicely in those browser who do not accept it, and of course bold ...

• Dress For Dialogue

  Dress For Dialogue feels like a classic layout, yet it incorporates a modern twist. Using a background color not often seen and white as the foreground color; this design takes a chance. However the selection of colors have managed to pay off. Aside from choice colors, this site does something ... More

• Jake Tracey

  I take a bad rap just about every time I do this. And if you’re not fond of it, I’ll let you know that I am not happy of listing a site that has been mentioned and showcased elsewhere. However, if there is something I dislike even more than ... More

• LifeHut

  LifeHut's design is as great as its content. For example, I guess I've been mowing the lawn improperly (not at all). Now thanks to LifeHut when it finally rains and the grass isn't so dead, I might be able to have a lawn that resembles one. However, it's not ... More

• Lillja

  Lillja may live up to one of my stereotypes of [tag]Band Site[/tag]s -- they all have black backgrounds -- but that’s where it ends. I usually stereotype the sites of band by putting them in the category of: ugly, awful, inaccessible, unusable and overall garbage. Lillja’s site is none of ... More
