K&L Wine Merchants
At first glance this site seems rather plain, but it's really deep and does a good job of offering up a lot of information in a pleasing, non-cluttered way. Oh, and check out the $13,000 bottle of wine! -
SiteGuys
Ok, so there could probably be a site devoted to nothing but coding services, but this one has a bit of a different take on it. They take a more full-featured approach into site management, which I think is actually a better sell than simply coding designs. As such, their ... More -
WP Coders
Another in the entry of the slice and dice your design services, this one focuses just on WordPress installations, which honestly, given the mess (and that's being charitable) that WordPress under the hood is, I would probably recommend to anybody let somebody else do it for you.

I really like the clean look of this website, the blue and gray colors really go well together, very minimalist. -
Janic Design
This is another one of those long page designs, but truly done well. The way each portfolio item is displayed with it's "meta" info out to the left is smart. The colors mesh well and work to highlight the work that's being shown instead of overpower it. -
Jeremy Cowart
Holy crap is all I can really say about this guy's photography. The site is really slick and well done, but the photography is just amazing. -
Indie Labs
Indie Labs are the guys behind Big Cartel, which is a really cool site for setting up simple stores for ordinary people. The site has a great mixture of simplicity and humor. The way the blog is presented on the home page is compact and clever. It's very hard to ... More
