Following on from part 1, 26 more talented designers submit there favorite websites that they designed for clients, themselves or for experimental purposes.
Elio Rivero, ILoveColors
“For the design, I wanted something grungy and colorful, since colors conveys a lot of mixed emotions. I wanted something that looked like you could touch it instead of something artificial.”
Swizec, Swizec
“[...] I believe that I nontheless managed to convey what I wanted – a sense of what I think like, that is to say, I wanted to convey a sense of logical disorder and randomness sprinkled with “pretty” and only really understandable by the mind’s owner. The colour palette was intentionally taken straight from my idea notebook.”
Leigh Taylor, LeighTaylor.co.uk
“This website was creative development when researching the field of high-end car websites. Particularly focusing on combining buying/selling and up to date news.”
Tom Wittlin, Higher Sites Unlimited
“Cuddledry are makers of a very specific baby bathing towel that you wear round your neck and literally cuddle the baby dry when you pull it out of the bath. They asked me to create a new look corporate website which moved away from their rather dull their existing site.”
Jonathan Patterson, JonathanPatterson.com
“The site is designed for quick access to view any of the projects. This is especially important when it comes to potential clients or employers visiting the site. Sometimes they don’t have more than 5 minutes to look through everything so I wanted to make the projects extremely easy to access.”
Justin DiMucci
“This is a site for an interior design firm in NH, MA, They wanted a clean elegant website focusing on their work but still drawing in the users attention.”
Mike Mella
“Canadian Diabetes Association site for the Diabetes Awareness Month campaign.”

Harry Roberts, CSSWizardry
“… a Christmas site whereby kids can write, print, then mail their letters to Mr Claus. It’s made with perfect, validate Strict xHTML. It’s a complete ‘for the sake of it’ project – we make no ad revenue or anything.”
Liz Fulghum
“I used to work for a screen printing company and once I left to move on to other things, I put together this site. It’s my most out of the box design I’ve done, and I find it ironic how you can discover a greater passion for something once you leave it behind.”
Liz Andrade, CMD+Shift Design
“This restaurant is all about “sophisticated comfort” and I wanted the site design to have that feel as well. The clean modern look paired with the killer photography done for this site makes it an all time favorite from my arsenal! (and the foods pretty tasty too!)”
Coby Heise, Creation By Design
“I was inspired mostly by the pictures used in the project that showcase the beauty of Honduras and the Caribbean Ocean. I wanted to make the site especially focus on those pictures to convey the reality of just how nice an area it is down there.”
Clay Schossow, New Media Campaigns
“The AG wanted something that had a new look and distinguished him from other constituent sites around the country – the use of bright colors, images, and modern design elements truly distinguish this site from other government agencies around the nation.”
Phillip Yang, Bestcovery
“Inspiration came from numerous review sites providing user averages and scores to give you the best pick. But tired of advertisers and a lack of a clear expert, we decided it was best to recruit experts and launch a site geared towards experts to provide advice for a variety of topics and products.”
Anca Foster, Visual Dexterity / Human Rights Action Center
“One Day for Human Rights” was inspired by Blog Action Day. The response that they’ve had to their movement is impressive. It gave us hope that people do care about other people and are ready to take action” — Don’t forget to blog, podcast or videocast yourself on December 10th!
Adam Dras, crisp
“A personal portfolio of a web/graphic designer Adam Dras. I tried to keep it as simple as possible and original.”
Tim Murren, Murren Design
“My graphic design related portfolio website that I created to apply for jobs. I wanted the viewer to get the complete experience of viewing my portfolio even if they are across the country from me; basic and clean design.”
David Hund, Valued Standards
“… it ‘communicates’ a ‘friendly professionalism’. My intention has been to communicate my views: that good web design is/should be ‘true craftsmanship’. [...] Our first priority should be to clearly communicate to our target audience.”
Franki Durbin
Niki Brown, DesignO’Blog
“I designed Bananas & Coffee as a means to keep track of my potassium and caffeine consumption, and to experiment with data and how it is displayed on the web.”
Bernardo Raposo, Now I Know
“This is a website design for a Portuguese wine seller. It’s intended to simulate a wine magazine/catalogue with some distinguishing elements like the business card format menu or the folded page footer.”
Kelly Diaz, Blast Advanced Media
“This website was designed for a personal trainer who specializes in outdoor personal training and boot camps. The earth-toned color palette and rough edges were inspired by the outdoors. I wanted the website to have a natural look and feel so I steered away from common web 2.0 elements.”
Kenroy George, illumstudios
“This site was for an event planner in Bermuda who wanted to build its online presence. They wanted a header that doubled as a slideshow do there needed to be a way to navigate the site without reloading everything and restarting the slide. It was designed using flash, xhtml, css and javascript.”
Calvin Lee, Mayhem Studios
“It’s an off shoot of my Mayhem Studios Brand. I wanted a similar yet different look. Anything that I design, I like it to be very clean and simple. The most import thing is the content. I design around it so that the design is not overpowering but both are in balanced.”
John Leschinski, Leschinski Design
“This website was for Drew Wininger’s Off-Off-Broadway one man show about his personal battle with depression. The concept behind it was to keep it as clean as possible, to give it a clinical feel, but not to overdo the medical theme associated with the show.”
[...] Yet again, I asked my friends on Twitter and readers if they would be interested in submitting their favorite website they designed for a client, themselves or as an experiment. Since the submissions received was well beyond what I’d initially expected (53 to be exact!), I will be breaking this post into a 2 part series — so make sure you subscribe or check back in 24 hours so you don’t miss part 2!
