Bleed has been one of the most important Norwegian design agencies of the past decade or so. They have always been a little bit too experimental and non-functionalist in their style for my taste, but their recent portfolio redesign is a great upgrade. This is top notch design and beautiful stuff with more than enough attention being paid to making it accessible and easily browsable — without making it boring.

One of the most obvious sites that should already have been posted here on Styleboost in 2012. It is a beautifully designed guide book from MailChimp. Check it out if you haven't already done so.

I love how clean this website feels. The timeline on the home page is a very nice touch, but my favorite part about the site is the design of the blog. Both the list view and the articles are exquisitely designed and implemented. All in all this is a very nice portfolio site.

A refreshing editorial home page layout that manages to stand out while at the same time feeling intuitive enough to quickly find quality content. The typography is killer, too. Sadly, some of the subpages deserve a little bit more attention to details. Still a wonderful site, though.

SDG is one of Norway's premiere design agencies. They focus on corporate identity, packaging design and interactive design, and consistently produce top quality work. Finally this is reflected through their own website as well. Check it out, because this is good stuff!

One of the cleanest and most elegant teaser sites I've ever seen — for any kind of product or service. Everything feels just right. It could easily have been just another clean site, but the details like the little animations, the subtle color variations and the photography make sure that this doesn't happen. Via @rovdyr.

This small single page website was designed by @jackdecaluwe, a Belgian designer based in Sydney, Australia. I love the visual style, which is in large part shaped by the illustrative style and the strict use of a single purple color. Simply a very nice little site.

Everpix is one of those services that I really hope will succeed despite that I'm not currently subscribing to the photo management tool myself. However, I have been beta testing it a while back, and I must say it's an exquisitely designed service. The landing page is also a great example of the quality of the design, so check it out if you're not already signed up for Everpix.

Medium is the hot new venture from The Obvious Corporation. In fact, they are attempting to redefine online publishing as a system optimized for quality, rather than popularity. This, of course, is music to my ears. Make sure to read Ev Williams' post about the reasoning behind Medium.

The recent acquisition of ReadWriteWeb by Say Media has resulted in a wonderful redesign and rebranding into what is now known as ReadWrite. I must admit that I love the design. Rarely has a news site felt this fresh and modern. Three thumbs up for the parallax-ish scrolling technique. For more info, Fake Steve Jobs aka Dan Lyons, the new editor-in-chief of ReadWrite, has a good writeup about the new site and concept. Via Martin Berglund.
