  Wow, these are truly awesome web designs! I loved all of them but my favourite is Josh Tilton’s

  Nice designs but most of this sites fails at one point: the interface design is more important than the content, sometimes that’s not a big trouble but a lot of times it is!
  Of course, clients love eyecatching layouts!

• 9 Lucinda Thompson Jul 1, 2008 at 8:52 am

  What a great list of sites! I don’t think I could pick a favourite, thanks for bringing them to my attention!

  Steven,

  My favorite by far is the Basmati Tree site, as far as looks go. My sentimental fave is Tennessee Education, because that education sites are usually horrid. It is really well-done. Good for them!

  Regards,

  Kelly

  Glen,
  Thanks for the suggestion. I like it.

  Marcel,
  I agree that there are other factors more important than design. Still, I find these types of sites to bring out a bit more creativity when I’m working on ideas for a site.

• 17 Shanna Jul 1, 2008 at 8:25 pm

  another nice set Steven! There are some a-m-a-z-i-n-g sites here!!

  every freaking website is notepaper, stick-it notes, tape, pencil, grunge, stickers, sketch, labels, random stuff. Hah.

• 19 Mihen Jul 1, 2008 at 9:26 pm

  oh and paperclips, industrial paper clips, pens, highlighters, torn paper, paper pieces, paper, paper and more paper!

  Is anyone original anymore?

• 20 Mia Jul 1, 2008 at 11:23 pm

  Love it. Thanks for the inspiration. I’m needing to redesign my blog and this is a fabulous post.

  Mihen,
  You forgot about coffee cups, they’re everywhere too. There’s always going to be some trends that a lot of people are using in their design. That doesn’t mean they can’t display some creativity. I think it’s ironic that you didn’t leave a link to your own site with your comments - that’s usually how it is with people that rip on the work of others.

• 22 Dubai Travel Guide Jul 2, 2008 at 12:32 pm

  NJ Rebel seems to be the best…nice selection of sites

• 23 Business Valuation Jul 2, 2008 at 2:06 pm

  Those are great sites that really show of artistic value. Thank you for sharing.

• 24 Mothership Jul 2, 2008 at 4:36 pm

  Thank you for the list - another one for the bookmark folder.

  toucouleur.fr has an incredible depth of field in the header - brilliant. I normally dislike busy designs but when designed and executed to this level, it’s a different story.

• 25 Yossarian Jul 2, 2008 at 4:58 pm

  That Toucouleur one is crazy, I love it.

• 26 Mothership Jul 2, 2008 at 7:19 pm

  It is. It appears crazy and carefree, but the attention to detail is astounding; even extending to the tabs at the top.

  Thanks for posting my site!

  The Tennessee series of websites is easily one of my favorites… hands down. I don’t think that any other state puts that type of effort into online marketing like they do.
