A more than essential ecommerce layout from Berg & Berg, a website selling basically accessories for men and women. We loved the use of a monospaced font for highlighting the navigation link in the product fact sheet and the fancy shopping bag in the top left corner.
A nice example of minimalist cascading menu from Kemado Records, an indipendent American record label based in New York City.
A nice and quite unique perspective form taken from Breezi’s splash page, an ongoing web application developed by Freshout: it’s funny that, when you click on the sign up button, you almost smash it to the picture plane.
Contrary to the actual webdesign trend of overbearing footers, crammed with links and sometimes not very pertinent references, Fridgework shows us the beauty of a simple five words ending (and a strategically set back-to-top button) .
Have you ever thought about displaying your resume as statistical data, shaped as nice infographics?
Well, Oli Gosling, web developer based in Bristol, did it with beautiful and memorable results.

We are proud to introduce you this funny, vintage cartoon illustration from its 404 error page.
A nice call-out box and its mouse over effect (on the left) from Stanley Solutions’ website, which is a copywriting and editing company based in India. We liked the read on tab stiking out at the bottom.
