Beautiful, Clean, Inspirational Single Page Design

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

tanyamerone

Tanya Merone’s website is definitely inspirational. It sits all on one page and uses the A NAME tags for navigation. The design is very clean, simple and beautiful. I love the simplicity of the some-what narrow column, the nice little navigation buttons at the top and the section separators with the small details like the small arrow at the right side. The light blue floral background is cute and along with the logo, the colors on the website and the photo of Tanya, sets up the simple, professional and easy to work with attitude of the person behind the site.

Corrugated Board & Sharpie Design

Friday, June 5th, 2009

LOL!! It’s a simple looking corrugated board and Sharpie design that makes you want to burst out laughing. If you scroll down, you will realize that this is a professional design firm’s website. The elements on a page are perfectly laid out and are easy to read. The hand-drawn design at the bottom, in the footer is awesome looking.

If I understood the language that this website is in, I’d have a lot easier time navigating through it. But design is sweet looking and pretty entertaining.

Simple And Beautiful Website Design

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

bebberdesign

Here’s a site belongs to Tony Bebber of Denver Colorado based Bebber Design. I love the color scheme he’s using on this site, Brown, Dark Blue and White. The website look so clean, lots of white space, shades of gray here and there. I like how the top of the page has shadows running from the top and then fade into white. The nice navigation buttons at the top are slick looking and little brown section tabs look nice with the reflective effect. The header/logo banner at the top of the page looks very clean and professional. Also check out his Twitter feed bird, that is a funniest looking Twitter bird I’ve seen yet.

The Most Unique Website Design!

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

This website was submitted to WDI through the Submit Site button. I receive a lot of websites submitted through there that are good looking but rarely do I get something inspiring and something that really makes me say, “Wow, this one is cool”.

ThiagoCanudi.com.br is the most unique website design that I’ve seen in a while and it did exactly that, I actually said, “Wow, this one’s cool”, I was very excited to see it. This website is designed to look like a flattened out packaging box. To navigate to the next page you click a link and it will scroll the page right anfd left until it gets to the requested page. I have seen websites that scroll right and left for navigation but this one is different, there is actually a real purpose for scrolling. I love the bright colors used and the graphical elements like the boxy lettering and the logo. The way the website is structured is very unique and it shows the designer’s level of skill and talent.

Here is the whole website, there is only 4 pages but they are done very well. I’m posting this one in the Best websites of 2009! Go take a look and scroll through it to appreciate.

Beautiful, Clean Website Design & An Awesome Tool

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

First about the website it self, it is very clean and organized. plenty of “white space” to make everything easy to read and see. Cool concept on the header illustrating what they do. Simple design for the body of the page and a nice clean footer. I like this because it is very easy to look at and you can tell what the purpose of the site is and what they do within seconds of arriving.

The service this website offers is pretty cool, as the name says, they stitch multiple feeds together into one feed organized chronologically.

The administration area is still kind of clunky. When you make a change or an update you need to refresh the page to see the changes. Looks like it uses AJAX to update everything but it does not refresh the results after for some reason.

Once you get over the technical issues on the admin side the feed works excellent and can be used just fine. I say this is an awesome tool and hope they fix the admin side issues soon.

Sweet Redesign of Weberica

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

weberica

I’ve featured Weberica here before with their original design (above), and yesterday I found out that they have redesigned the site and below is what it looks like.

weberica2

If you look at the new design without knowing what it looked like before, I think it looks awesome, some new styles, a little on the grunge side with some elegant elements. I like the rough water color background up at the header area.

Personally, I think I liked the old design a little better. In my opinion (and I know, opinions are like arm pits – everyone’s got two), elegant looking website design always wins over grunge style. Especially when a website’s identity, look has been established with an elegant and clean design and then it changes to a grunge, modern look.

Bottom line, I like both designs, old and new but if I had to choose which one the site looks better with, I’d say the old one.

Another Cool Portfolio Presentation

Monday, April 20th, 2009

rareform

Being able to effectively show your past work on a website is essential to getting new clients. Having a resume that talks about the ears of experience and all the exciting stuff is not enough, you’ve got to show examples. This is probably the most important part of a portfolio website.

RareformBranding.com does a very good job at showing their work. It is up front and center as you enter their site. nice slide show grabs your attention and takes you through the most important pieces. Within the first 20 seconds you already know what this company can do for you and what kind of work you can expect.

My Web Design Site, FlyNewMedia.com, Gets Re-Designed

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Yep, it’s never good enough when it comes to my own website. I think this is re-design number 3 or 4. I finally got the logo to look awesome, if I may say so myself. :)

I wanted this design to look clean and simple while bringing more of me onto the homepage, to make it personal. The idea was to make the visitor feel like I was right there, available for them right now. I built in the little “I am available right now” indicator that is powered by Twitter. I can send a tweet from my cell phone and update where I am available at that time – “Twitter” if I am at the computer and available to answer right away, “Cell phone” if I am away from the computer but answering the cell phone or “Email” if I am not available – which is rare.

Most websites have a personal disconnect between the website and the company or the human that represents it, this is why I wanted to make this site’s visitors feel like I am right here sitting and waiting for them to contact me.

I’d love some feedback – comments, criticism, ideas.
Please leave your comments below.

Thanks!

Amazingly Beautiful & Super Efficient Website Design

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

MightyLeaf.com is going to be filed into the Best Of 2009 category. I can’t stop starring at it… The design of the site as a whole, then the details – photography work is just stunning, the navigation is very clean and efficient, the logo fits perfectly. This website is truly is a piece of art.

Check out the navigation, it sits there quietly, out of the way while you are not using it, then when you need to find something just hover over the main categories buttons at the top and a smorgasbord of choices come popping out, so much to choose from!

Also the sub-navigation buttons placed nicely under the main navigation is another level of choices to pick from. In all, they have eliminated many extra clicks for a visitor, turning many of then from just visitors to customers.
