jz reviews a bunchload of interactive ad agency websites. definitely of interest to anyone redesigning their company website. *cough* *cough* also of amusement, jz snuck in a link to praystation in the article.

speaking of cool business sites, i find myself liking vir2l’s site a lot, despite it’s crappy usability (what good is a next generation ecommerce site if you can’t bookmark pages?).they have some really spiffy designer’s working there, and great eye candy, at least. i can admire it, but i don’t think i could in good conscience ever ape that kind of web design style. (and i’m too immersed in backend schtuff to go balls to the wall on any clientside design right now, but i definitely need to get back in the swing of following the latest trends in web design).
