This tea resource from Chile is a must for serious brew lovers, as long as you speak the language that is. The photography and typography caught my attention at first, but I also like the logo and the 5 column homepage layout too. I’m gasping.

I love Threadless, their t-shirts are great quality and the designs available are always on-point. The site (like the t-shirts) is a mix of different styles and illustrations, but somehow it all works rather well. This site has been around for a while now and I like the way it has evolved into a properly [...]

I love the simplicity of this Grapevine homepage. The large, chunky font and no nonsense language direct the user down definite paths and the ‘1-2-3′ process on the landing page illustrates their proposition very clearly.

Delete is a full service digital agency who have recently given their website a makeover. Gone is the in-page scrolling, fussy background and extensive use of Flash of their old site (click the v.2 button in their site footer). The new Delete site is cleaner, accessible and far easier to navigate. It lets their work [...]

Sweet! Sucre is selling incredible candy online at www.shopsucre.com. The site uses appetising browns, pinks and greens as a backdrop to wonderfully vivid product photography. Check out their equally beautiful store on the ‘About’ page. They should open a store in London. Soon.

Champion Sound promote their tech services to artists in the music industry. They do this successfully by using minimal technical jargon, grungy illustrations and retro photography. These combine to create a site that should certainly appeal to their target audience. I think their ‘Features’ page rocks hardest… man.

FreshBox deliver farm-fresh fruit and vegetables - they also have a very fresh looking website. I like the simple tabbed navigation, bright photography and the texture used on the background image. The headline font is also pretty tasty. Yum!

The Lippincott website uses a collage of torn and faded retro images with ocre tones to create an antiquated, grungy feel. The typography used across the site is really strong and all the illustrated design elements are beutifully rendered. If only I lived in Wilmington.

Uniqlo is a great store, with an equally good website. I love it when an eCommerce store is a pleasure to use (this doesn’t happen too often!) and Uniqlo is exactly that. A great use of Flash on the homepage entices you into the store, where the products are uncluttered and shown in great detail [...]

Unblab is an application that manages your email inbox - making life easier for busy people. Like the application, the website is also very simple, to the point and uses crisp illustrations with a good amount of white (black) space. Options on the homepage are limited, which cleverly pushes the user to either sign-up or [...]
