A co-worker asked what I considered to be really well designed on the web (or something to that effect) and I’ve been giving a lot of thought to that lately, as I haven’t really recall being blown away by anything recently. (That’s not to say that I’m not totally jazzed by a lot of the developments happening, like stuff happening with web services, dom-related stuff, I just strictly talking web design-wise). I couldn’t think of much, but I’ve made a little list of what I consider to be kick ass web design (accounting for visual, interaction, usability, technical and/or conceptual aspects), which I’ll probably add stuff onto as I think of…
- Kicksology.net – I saw this a few months ago. It’s really nice and clean. Later found out it was designed by 37signals, not surprising. I really like their stuff.
- IHT – I first noticed the IHT’s redesign in the beginning of last year (by John Weir; fascinating recent interview here). It definitely stands the test of time. The more I think about it, the more amazed I am by it, both in design, concept, and technical construction. That it was done pretty much singlehandedly is really a testament to John’s mad skillz. Hmm, have I gushed enough?
- I’ll think of more, I’m sure…
