Website Design Examples

Styleboost
A collection of links to elegantly designed websites.

Coolhomepages.com
The name says it all. This is a must visit site.

Flowsim
A really cool site offered in Swedish and English versions. The site also provides good tutorials, demonstrating that a site that teaches does not have to be ugly or dull.

Andy Foulds' Design
A most innovative and artistic site of a commercial web designer. Visit it and play with all the interactions.

A European cultural news site offering happenings, features, interviews,and comment on art and archaeology, music of many kinds, international cuisine, business, technology, and more. Delivered in English, French, and German.

Paul Saffo's
A deceptively simple looking site. I think, however, it is one of the best sites I have ever seen in terms of design. (For those of us interested in web writing and issues, Saffo's essays are the real plus of the site.)

Art Center College of Design
Located in Southern California this is another classy site.

Growing up Digerate
Another student example on the Cyber Artssite.

PoemsThatGo
The site takes full advantage of the possibilities the web provides and is well designed. Sites like this are the future of art and writing.

BitStreams
This site is so cool it is difficult to describe. Just visit the site.

MyTinyGarden
The site is a bit graphics intensive, so visit it from fast connections. It is worth the extra wait.

Extreme Alaska
