Bells and whistles don’t always get your point across. Sometimes, simplicity and ease of use is key.

great!
Great Designs man, just to correct you, there’s a typing mistake for “Mooty” accidentally written as “Motty” in the title.
Just got a load of ideas by just scanning through this page,
and here is one more nice design (though not exceptional ): http://www.dynamicguru.com/mujtaba/
This is great!
Great list!. Juan Diego Velasco site is beautifull, great work for everyone
I would love to retire to that Serj Island, looks beautiful!
Thanks for featuring me with all of the other nice designs! Appreciated.
Great list and awesome sites.
This is a good list! I got inspired by a few of the designs here and will hopefully try and re-design my site early next year to make a top 30 list like this.
Truly nice work on some of them.
Sorry, but I do not think that this is such a cool, super, amazing ,great…whatever… list of great designs as many of you are saying.
I’m wondering why author pick just these pages, but anyway at least it is good way to make promo for some pages, as author say: “Most of these are relatively new” – so let’s make some promo LOL
please do not kill me for this comment
Some really impressive stuff here… lists like this are very humbling!
Thank you for featuring my blog!
I like the Brooklyn Fare for the simplicity of the design, the Feed Stitch for the header and colours used and then Creative People just because the imagery is awesome and completely random.
Great list.
Hi, thanks to put our website.
hoping like to all of you.
Atte tanq.
Such a diverse collection of different techniques and methods for web design. Some seem too simple and too focused on advertising rather than presenting a visually pleasing, easily usable website. Overall, great work.
Very Nice Collection Guys
I really enjoyed this list! Gave me some awesome ideas for my next project. The one that I thought was quite awesome was the animation for the Food, Inc. site. Does anyone know how they probably did that animation?
It’s made with JavaScript if you check out the sourcecode.
Wow, thanks for the mention and link to my lil’ portfolio, I am truly honored to be listed amongst these very inspirational designs. Its also been great to browse around some of the sites & portfolios that I had not seen before!
I’m more of a lurker than a commenter, so I’ll take the opportunity to say this: I have frequented the tuts sites for some time now, I really think the creators and writers here do awesome work so please keep doing what you do
Not bad.
Great-thanx so much for this superb overview!
I’m inspired! but I can’t even copy even the worst one in the list! hehe! but i’m inspired!
Amazing collection here. Ive bookmarked and shared
Thanks for sharing these quality post.
What I hate about these kind of collections is that almost all of the sites are for designers or design agencies. Most of this stuff doesn’t work in the real world and does not work for business.
They are pretty, I’ll say that.
Just stumbled across this site by Twitter. Most of these designs are awesome. Thanks for this great collection!
Nice work for all of them
Owltastic. It’s just too pretty to not be listed here. http://owltastic.com
