Brother Jones Art

This site is awesome. I really like how clean the home page is, and how the theme continues throughout the pages. The navigation is super easy and straightforward, as well. The content of the site is basically these three brothers and their artwork and blogs. They share tips and examples of what they do, as well as things that are going on in their lives.

Clever Design

This is a website for a clever designer. The home page is simple and clean, but it almost seems too empty. The drop-down navigation is rather cool, but overall, I don't like this site as much as the other ones. Still, I do think that it is an excellent simple site. The color scheme is all blue, which can get a little boring, but it also adds unity.

Dennis Jones Art

Dennis Jones is one of the Jones brothers from the above site. His personal webpage is also awesome. I like the banners that change at the top of the pages. The navigations is also pretty easy. I really like the graphics on this site, too.

The Hidden Frame

I really like the navigation on this site, and how it all ties in with its theme. It is a little slow to get around on, though, and everything seems to be animated. My favorite page is the video page because of how real it looks.

Jason MRAZ

I have no idea who this guy is, but I like the "journally" look of his webpage. It reminds me of someone's personal scrapbook. The oddly-shaped pictures add interest. I also like how the picture at the top of each page has the page name in a different and new way. I think this site is well organized.

Andyco

I really like how this home page looks. Black and white and blue. Very nice and clean. But then, you get to the rest of the website, and its not so cool. Its still organized relatively well, but its definately not clean or simple anymore. (Incidentally, this is a parody site about large companies.)

Interllectual

This website is someone's personal blog where they talk about things such as animals, music, and web standards. I like it because you can change the color scheme of the entire site by picking different animals. I think that is awesome. However, I only find 2 animals, so I don't quite know what is up with that.

Dogfish Media

This would be the website that I like the least out of all the ones I picked. It was okay at first, but, after having seen many other sites that are much more successful, I don't like this one as much. I hate when webpages try stuffing all of their text into a small space -- making it necessary to use scrolling inside the text box! The navigation was also a little confusing.

Jrojr

I really like the color scheme and the graphics on this website. The navigation is pretty easy, which is always nice. I like the right hand column that has more navigation links on the side. This site is very unified -- it is all in the same style, which is nice, but can get a little boring after a while. The content on the pages changes, but the overall setup is the same. Depending on how you look at it and what you are trying to do, this could be a positive or a negative thing.

Nick Finck

I like this website because of how it looks, and because it is relatively simple. I like the consistent theme throughout the pages, and the colors that were chosen. The white text on a black background is really nice, and the yellow adds a touch of color to make it more interesting. This site is complete, and very informative.

Trinet

This is a website whos original language is Hrvatski. Thankfully, it also comes in English. I like the color coding and how it there is no need for scrolling around on the home page. All the links are nicely organized and it is pretty easy to find your way around. I also like how there is not only a color for the different aspects of their company, but also a graphic.

xyennyx

I think my favorite thing about this website is its navigation. I like how the different categories expand. I also like the way that the artwork galleries are organized. It has a sort of journally look throughout the site, which makes sense because it basically is some girls personal stuff.

Emotions by Mike

Mike is a freelance web designer, and this is his site. It is very nice and simple, but it almost seems a little too empty. It is not extremely informative either. Maybe Mike is a minimalist... Anyway, I like the thumbnail links, and how the "next" and "back" buttons (>>> , <<<) fit very nicely with the page.

Styleboost

This site is organized into nice little boxes, but these boxes aren't boring. I like the way that it is organized, with the headings vertically on the side. I also like how the page is pretty much shades of grey, with the thumbnails in color. This website is basically just a place with links to other cool-looking or interesting websites.

Live 8 Live

I like the background for this website. It isn't too busy but it isn't boring either. The crowd of hands at the bottom add interest and make even more sense when you know what the site is about. I also really like the guitar graphic on the left. The tabbed navigation is also really nice -- I like how what is in the tabbed area changes, but the rest of the page is consistent throught the site.

JC Penney

J C Penney's website is organized very nicely. They have a lot of things to link to, but it is all done in an organized way. I like how they use the exact same layout for many of their pages, but since it is different material it doesn't get boring. Its easy to read and understand, and it is very complete.
