sewanee.edu
I'm just focusing on Sewanee's homepage here but it is doing something a lot of other schools wish they could do, keeping it simple. It's true it's probably able to do this because it's a lot smaller but it still seems to focus on the right audiences rather than crowd ... More -
webdesignerwall.com
The redesign of Web Designer Wall makes great use of the ideas behind responsive web design (media queries). I also love the fixed navigation section on the far left column. The striking background illustrations the site was first known for have been minimized a good bit, while i do miss ... More -
adaptivepath.com
Redesign for Adaptive Path's 10 year anniversary. Well they redesign every so often anyways, 10 years is a great reason though. In typical Adaptive Path style, the site design is simple, effective and highly usable. There's even some nifty little surprises in it if you're watching. I really dig the ... More -

I like the stark graphic feel to this design, the strong lines and strong colors set a nice tone. I also really dig how the slideshow is used like a presentation. That's kind of a smart way to present your info like this. The website is generally really clean and ... More -

Cool non-standard looking website design. I love the multi grid layout and also the asymmetrical look comes off great with the heavy images vs. the thinner columns of images/text. The red really just explodes out of the background and gives is some really great graphical impact. I do think some ... More -

NIce blog design that takes on the traditional 2 column design and gives it depth and detail. I like the background texture and the small overlapping and 3D like details. It's subtle and doesn't hit you over the head but the design has a nice sense of craftsmanship. My favorite ... More -

The personal site of David DeSandro, it's wonderful. I love how the experience is like a playground for us web designers, you can spend a lot of time looking through things on his website and get caught up in many different types of subjects. The layout is interesting, the details ... More -
sxsw.squarespace.com
This SXSW micro-site for Squarespace is exquisit. The design is sharp and enjoyable, the detail is superb as well. I love that skull icon - I really hope that thing was made into t-shirts, it'd be a shame if it wasn't. I love how it's a simple single page too, ... More -
tedxportland.com
Really awesome effect with the single page scrolling design, the way the 'XRD' scrolls between the other versions of it to make that kind of vertical parallax effect/animation is pretty sweet. When you click a nav element or scroll the page for the first time, there's actually a little bit ... More -
Chat Session with Ryan Carson
I've been a fan of the web design blog thinkvitamin.com for a long time, it has some of the best content and is typically one of the top places on the web to stay up to date with what's going on in our industry. The man and company behind that ... More
