• appboy.com

  I really like the illustration for this site and that Smokey/green background image. The big graphic buttons are very clean and easy to see. The concept of the site is pretty good too, the ideas section had me reading for a while. I especially like the design of the "join" ... More

• envato.com

  Redesigned Envato.com website. Features a static footer with a single page scrolling site. That's pretty trendy right now and seems rather fitting for the parent site for what are arguably some of the best resources on the web. It does hit on just about every trend in current ... More

• Armada Creative

  I like how the imagery and name of this website really go together. The images of the battleships really play off the name and that's kind of clever. I like the "skills" grid design and the amount of info about the designer. I like a lot of personal info ... More

• sxsw.com

  The new SXSW website is extremely vast in it's content, it's probably the largest conference website i've ever spent time on. That said I think it's organized really well. It's also a rather clean design which is always good when you have so much content. The branding is ... More

• Mark Boulton (new)

  The newly re-designed personal site for Mark Boulton. This is a really scaled back blog for what looks like his personal writings and experiments, I love it. I love the simplicity and almost perfect cleanliness to it. I love that it's all set it Georgia and even ... More
