seattlecidercompany.com

Product View on Scroll

I love brands like this. The site does a great job using design and front-end technologies to highlight the product and the process. The brand colors and type are also really sharp.


westinfinds.com

Homepage

Awesome big photography, but the way the site works and the search structure is pretty click.

Search bar, centered in the middle of the page

It allows you to navigate and discover different hotels and offerings by stepping through decisions. How they set up the layout of each decision is very creative as well.

Specific Selection

sebastiangraz.com

Homepage

First off the logo is legit. The website is clean from the jump. Like the bold type that appears at the beginning of each page.

Project Thumbnails w/ Category types

The category structure on each thumbnail also help guides navigation to each page based on the type of work that was done on the project.

fullenglish.com

The site’s illustration is amazing. Bold lines and colors paint a picture of the agency and its services. Like how they keep the navigation close to the mouse so you don’t have to move far to scroll down the page.

Full Service View

Responsive view works well too.

lottanieminen.com

Homepage, Graphic Design View

The layout is welcoming as soon as you hit the site. Love to alternative navigation anchored to the left and the right and the transition between each view is very smooth. She has also done a great job with the metadata that accompany each element of the page.

About View

booksatwork.org

Homepage

Illustrations cool, but what really surprised me was how they used the book illustrations to highlight books that they worked with and provide a slick popup to provide more details. This functionality doesn’t skip a beat on mobile either.
