Sweet Websites

I love this design of posted note. It has been my favorite now for months. I spent hours on it and I learned a lot in the process, but I haven't reached guru status yet.

Check out these two sites:

http://deeplyshallow.com/

http://www.designshack.co.uk

Look at them! They are soo cool and if you peruse Design Shack then you will leave feeling miserable because your site isn't as cool as some of these.

What I don't understand is HOW!! HOW ARE THEY DOING THIS!!! Their understanding of CSS is unbelievable! I am going to go home and bite my pillow!

Let's just hope the pillow doesn't bite back.

Out of the two, I liked Deeply Shallow best. Very nicely laid out.

Cheers for the link, the re-design of Design Shack took a while. However, I'm always happy to bow to a better design and I'd agree with fred that Deeply Shallow is excellent. Glad you found Design Shack inspiring!

Hey, David visited Posted Note! Cool. I like both of these sites, but the elements used in Design Shack are some that I have never seen and they blow me away. The color usage and the layout is unbelievable. Did you do it? Or did you have it done? Either way, hats off to you guys!

Cheers!

We did it ourselves, with the main graphic provided by Veerle. Was certainly good fun! Another new project I have on the go is www.ourstockworks.com. It's much more impressive than Design Shack :-p

Yes, ourstockworks is very nice as well. Love the Flash at the top. I might have to start taking pictures so I can use your service! Very cool.

Some people get the gift of substance. Others get the gift of dazzle. A few lucky bastards get both. Why is my site so lame? -> Probably because I did the design and it sucks royally.

I'm still in awe of you, Eddie. I just don't have the flare for design. Kudos to you, bro.

This is why I'm having you do my design - 'cause I know nothing about nothing when it comes this.

Eddo, these ARE great finds. I like the "simple" layout of deeplyshallow. It's very clean.

But I looooove design shack. I like the colors used and interesting layout of its content.

How do you find these sites?

Hey, you won a design award for my site! You'll be able to pull that stuff off soon enough.
