When you click on the huge button on the top of Why Every One Loves Tumblr page, you’ll see a big check list menu appearing with four differente choices.
This is a peculiar way to navigate between section that I’ve seen only here but I think that may possibly turn out useful in many other situations.
A nice idea for Clearleft, a web agency specialized in user centered design: a web site menu made of numbered cards that makes a not so subtle suggestions to methods applied in Information Architecture.
You can create an effective callout box simply by breaking layout grid, playing a bit with typography or/and colours and nothing more.
As you can see from the pic, here you are an elegant way to create associating annotations, mostly seen on newspapers but that works superbly on websites as well.
A nice monochrome footer from laFraise, a t-shirt competition website. We love this wintry, cold blue footer with warm mouse over effects and we must admit that the shopping section is very tempting.
Très joli.
Here you are a spectacular background image, with a nocturnal imaginary from Pixlogic, a web design company: every major “fragment” of this impressive collage moves in the opposite direction of your mouse, with a quite enjoyable and memorable effect.
Two things at the same time: a nice, fresh web logo and an inspiring logo collection from Jordan Gray’s portfolio. Here you are more infos about Jordan:

Being a gifted illustrator really comes in handy when you have to enlighten your website’s footer and yes, you got me, this post was just a lame pretext for showing you Loscoloresolvidados‘ illustrations.
PS: You can find really nice desktop wallpaper as well!
Giveusalift is the name of WRVS‘ website.
WRVS is a national charity that thinks every older person in Britain has the right to live the life they want.
Despite this serious mission, the website is really cool, with lots of nice graphics solutions and this absolutely funny 400 error message. It’s true, sense of humour never ages!
Glossy buttons age it’s not over yet and so we quite enjoyed Madsen Cycles ecommerce buttons because they really stand out in opposition to the overall layout minimalism.
Our attention was grabbed by a clever fonts comparison system in MyFonts‘ website: using a little sliding widget in the left sidebar, you can browse through thousands items, comparing the A glyph of available typefaces. You can get a more detailed preview of your type by simply hovering over the letter with your mouse.
A shiny circular peeling badge with a white dashed outline. Nice idea for highlighting your website interface.
Kiehl’s online store is one of the most accurate and fully equipped ecommerce website I’ve ever seen.
You can find:
a neatly separated sign in area;
a global website navigation;
a products tabbed navigation;
a simple breadcrumb trail;
a facet navigation duplicated: on the top as drop down menu, on the left as checkbox choices;
detailed product listing with quick shop (it [...]
A heavily, in a positive way, styled footer and a fascinating tropical imagery from Komodo Media ’s website.
