Recipe sites have this tendency to cram so much stuff on their pages that instead of being helpful, they get in the way of finding the perfect dish for that meal you’re planning. These sites, however, are redefining the culinary experience by providing beautifully-designed and user-friendly experiences on the web, and hopefully in your kitchen. [...]
Aside from creating brilliantly art-directed articles that push the limits in with the latest HTML and CSS features, David DeSandro is redefining at least two classic site features at the same time with his Portfolio page: The portfolio format. Most portfolios consist of image thumbnails with either short or detailed descriptions about each project undertaken. [...]
Indie music site Pitchfork will launch a music web TV channel (or whatever you want to call it) on April 7. The splash page for this channel is great:
Read/WriteWeb is a great site, content-wise, I read it from time to time – I especially like Marshall Kirkpatrick’s writing style. Actually, all sites in the RWW Network, being Last100 and AltSearchEngine, as well as the podcast Read/WriteTalk, all reek of quality. That’s nice. What’s not as nice is the design the flagship site, Read/WriteWeb [...]
With all the sidebar (and footer) bashing I’ve been doing lately, I thought I’d share a nice sidebar design with you, and tell you why I like it. Enter Blog Perfume, which has a decent design overall, clean and sober, yet modern and with things happening. I’m no fan of the header, the background makes [...]
Sometimes design is funny. Or, at the very least, commentary on said design is funny. Check these out, in case you missed them. NYT on Windows Vista David Pogue in a YouTube clip explaining (sarcastically, in case you miss it) that Windows Vista is nothing like Mac OS X. Ignore the flurry of useless comments [...]
They are all the rage right now. Everybody uses them. They are being blogged about every day. Hell, people feature them in their sidebar! I am of course referring to those incomprehensible “update” services. Twitter and Pownce are the major players in this market; the two real powers. One the established giant (if such a [...]
Two of the best looking websites recently changed their look. Devlounge and Ordered List have been leaders in the blogging community for some time. But that is not all they have in common; they are also both 9Rules defectors. However, I do not want to dwell on that, because it will only lead to trouble. [...]
The layout of a design leads the reader through a web page. It guides your eyes down a page and hopefully you end up at the content. The question is, how long does or should it take for you to get to the content? Well, to a degree, this should depend on the type of [...]
When Skysports launched their redesign 2 weeks ago, they’ve forgotten one thing. The new CSS-based design is visually appealing, and contains everything one expects from a modern news portal. Enough of whitespace, integrated social bookmarking links and comments. But it lacks in one area: usability. While the page height has been drastically reduced all over [...]
