It’ quite an idea to customize standard buttons (mail, Skype,credential) by adding an element of the logo (in this case the letter F).

A beautiful bouncing on Idea Foundry web site, a company that deals with training in information technology.

Thinkingjuice, advertising English, takes up the idea of using sliding panels vertical for its sidebar (already seen on Apple web site).  Compared to Apple’simplementation, I like that the triggering event is the click on the arrow (and not the mouse over): on the other hand I appreciate Apple’s transition speed which is a little bit [...]

I have a passion for non-conventional listings and grids based on squared (or nearly) patterns: Method web site grid, a communication agency specialized in creating unique brand experience, is one of my favorites.

Purplerockscissors website is clear, consistent and show an interesting use of Futura ExtraBold.  For those who want to build a sliding portfolio, I recomend this example, where all is well calibrated and the tab “view now” lays on the bottom right, without spoiling the cleanliness of the whole.

I really like Razorbraille web site: for now I wanted to show you the frogs jumping on the main menu, look at you and fall down when you move the mouse over a tab.  Genius!
