I’m an experienced Web site designer who loves lean HTML and happy clients. When I'm not doing pure design for sites, I specialize in building sites that include a Content Management System (CMS). My clients can update their Web sites at any time.
Problematic montage for the main nav but I love the idea and, overall, this is a nice straightforward portfolio site.

Interesting one page site with rollover info panel.

Gorgeous detailing throughout. Love all those textures—the masking tape, the cloth, the leathers, the wall and floor—and the earthy color scheme with multiple neutrals and that splash of green. A Wordpress-driven site that really doesn't feel bloggy.

Super solid grid and limited color scheme really make this site stand out. Love the way they've adjusted the photos to maintain the color scheme. Love the scale of the photos, etc.

Love the black and green, scale of the photos. Love the navigation system: non-standard so they've locked it down and it doesn't take long to come to grips with it. Logical IA and consistent page structure. Feels distinctly different from other sites but it's still usable and even pleasant.

Neat, polished, expensive and utterly rubbish Web site. In fairness to the designers, whatever was left of their souls before they took on the project may have been eaten by their clients' board members.
The Flash work is nice but takes four and a half days to load. What's the key information you want me to scan? What's the next action? Because there seem to be fifty possible actions, all of them more or less equally important. Maybe that rich white corporate guy can help sort it out.
This is a site that really wants to be interactive, but it's just a shallow brochure site.

Nice simple home page for a a social network app. Grid could be tighter.

I'm not usually a fan of panels but this works really well, with its super-consistent layout across the pages, fine attention to detail, and nice imagery. I like the way that green panel on the right stays in that same spot on every page—giving crucial information to visitors no matter which page they visit first on the site.

PROS: Beautiful use of gray and pink, succinct global nav, restrained use of modern tech.
CONS: Those 1,2,3,4 tabs are too subtle for most users to see and use. The diagonal-running surface doesn't convince (but is necessary for tiling). Can't think who the "Resources for Designers" and "Recommended Books" panels are aimed at.
