    Some of the designs don’t match my taste. Number 44 for example, the brown design of Quo Consulting has neither a good color, nor do I like the color-in-color approach.

    On the other hand, other designs listed here are stunning.

    One note, your screenshot of Elixir didn’t quite finish loading it seems (the middle image is not complete).

    I stopped paying attention after I saw that 7 out of the first 10 sites had that horrible Web 2.0-licious lime green color (or some variant of it) as a key element.

    Seriously, why does every site these days have to use that? It’s painful.

    What is not mentioned is that a fairly large number of these sites appear to have been built using the Apple “easy-peasy” web templates accompanying it’s very low-end iWeb web-page editor that ships for free with the Mac. So if this is good design, the folks at Apple should get the award for at least a third of these sites. :-)

    I’m noticing a theme here:
    - large blocks of solid color
    - repeating header bars of color
    - tons of “dead” space around text and images
    - cutesy iconography with gradient textures

    I think that sums up the graphical style of Web 2.0

    Don’t forget that beauty is only screen-deep. To point out a few not-so-well-formed examples: #1 and #9 uses some span spacers. Hello, what’s the point of using CSS if there are going to be spacer elements? And both #1 and #2 uses strict XHTML but still serves it as faux-XHTML _AND_ uses an XML prolog (what’s the point?). Don’t try viewing source for #18, it is pure horror. #19 is a nice bowl of Dreamweaver tag soup; #20 is a lighter serving.

    I strongly agree with Jeff’s comment here.

    The designs are indeed beautiful in their own way though as some have said very similar in nature, style and even content to a certain degree. While I personally still like the style of using soft features, rounded edges, subtle gradients and the like it would be nice to see something not so common. For example when I first saw the electric pulp site I thought, hey, that’s beautiful, but different.

    On site #10, revyver.com, the author calls himself “an award-winning designer and blogger with a knack for business” and says that he wants to “provide compelling and unique design that ultimately helps your bottom line”. He then proceeds to tell the reader that if they are using IE to view his site, then they have come to the wrong place.

    Great list. The only problem I had with it was Bistrian Iosip’s blog (http://blog.bistrianiosip.com). If you read a few paragraph’s of Bistrian’s blog, it sounds like it was written by a 10 year old… not a good thing for a blog. I know these sites are being listed for their visual appeal, but if attention to detail was also listed as one of the criteria, and that should include grammar.

    While 1-4 of these are really unique, all the others, while attractive, also seem expected and cliche.

    Can I have a bigger screenshot of that smashlab page of last year (solid-and-serious-designs-20). That looks really awsome.

    They have changed their page design this year.

    Keep putting up and we ll keep looking up.

    Whatever methods we use to teach skills and knowledge at the professional stage involve us in many assumptions about how we learn professional skills, knowledge and values, what we learn and why, and what we expect students and trainees to do with that learning. ,
