Stylin: SlideDeck

Dave Burke — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 06:10:43 GMT

Big fonts, fat horizontals, distinct content areas, smart contact form in footer with an “About Us” as well. Killer Slider featured, which is the site product, so they do a good job in highlighting it (though the asking price of $299 seems a little high to me…) Link to SlideDeck | View all Stylin Sites Read More......(read more)

Stylin: Sun Magazine

Dave Burke — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 06:03:37 GMT

You don’t need a lot of colors to be colorful or a balance of light and dark to project depth. Simple and accessible. Link to Sun Magazine | View all Stylin Sites Read More......(read more)

Stylin: Dan Conaway

Dave Burke — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 05:51:09 GMT

The domain name for this fellow’s advertising site is wakesomebodyup.com. The distinctive graphics certainly achieves that. Even includes a “Dan wuz here” on weathered oak. Link to Dan Conaway | View all Stylin Sites Read More......(read more)

Stylin: Trent Cruising

Dave Burke — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 05:44:16 GMT

Very blue, but it’s a riverboat cruise, after all. It works. Like the footer boundary graphic. Clear call to action in the [very blue] banner. Link to Trent Cruising | View all Stylin Sites Read More......(read more)

Dave Burke — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 05:36:33 GMT

Stylin: Pixelcraft

Dave Burke — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 05:13:42 GMT

This layout is so darn clean. Best viewed up close. Slick slider. I like the “Currently Working On…” idea. Link to Pixel Craft | View all Stylin Sites Read More......(read more)

Stylin: Textpattern CMS

Dave Burke — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 06:31:55 GMT

Dave Burke — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 05:54:52 GMT

Stylin: SlickPlan Faq

Dave Burke — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 05:48:24 GMT

This layout is so colorful and clean. I particularly like the Faq page shown below. I like the display of questions at left with the answers appearing at right replacing the black-n-white video of Elvis Presley. The only thing that would have made this page more interesting is if it was an actual Elvis video. I don’t get have it’s a video image but no video. Still Stylin.

Stylin: Sketchen

Dave Burke — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 05:41:58 GMT

Sketchen is a creative design and development agency. Their creativity shows on these pages. I like the larger images and sweet, content-rich sliders. Like the consistent use of dashes for content area borders. It’s always smart to provide English and Spanish versions at the click of a button as this site does with top-of-page tabs. Overall this site is for business but inviting and almost playful. Link to Sketchen | View all Stylin Sites Read More......(read more)

Stylin: Adventure Time

Dave Burke — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:22:21 GMT

Super stylish background, borders and page elements. Increases confidence to make a purchase with a site layout as pretty as this and with as much attention to detail. Good balance among page content dimensions. On the UN-stylin side, there’s a spider dropdown animation that’s stupid as hell in my opinion.

Stylin: Wild Wings Safaris

Dave Burke — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:07:37 GMT

The low contrast between headers/footers and the body is what I liked about this. Link to Wild Wings Safaris | View all Stylin Sites Read More......(read more)
