I love the visual profile of Friends of The Web. The color palette reminds me of data centric services and tools like Google. They come across as an agency it'd be fun to work with. The Project Inquiry/General Contact option is also a great touch on the Contact page.

What a thoroughly high quality site this is. The design is inviting and friendly in both language and visual design. To me, it comes across as a great service that hopefully attracts more than a few non-profits. Great job by Dodd, Marshall and Sean!

Nokia rarely does anything that catches my eye. But with the launch of the MeeGo/Qt powered N9 I have realized that the Finnish company is actually able to "get" some of what's wrong with their usual lineup of phones. In fact, what I found most impressive with the launch was the very well done UX Guidelines site. This looks to be a great tool for UX designers looking to build apps for the N9. Well done, Nokia.

There's no denying that Paul Kelley aka Ch3mical has made himself a great single page portfolio site. He pulls it off by combining a straight forward text based presentation with a very clever presentation of external links. Via @ozlarsen.

Here's a goodie. A superbad single page portfolio site that is basically designed as an interactive poster. The typography and colors throughout, as well as the calls to action are all so well designed that you would be stupid not to be impressed. Check it out.

The redesigned online presence of Teehan+Lax here is such a great site in so many ways. For one, even the cutting edge use of the html5 video tag as a background element is elegantly responsive. The site is simple throughout, but this is definitely not "boring" or "cheap" simple. It is a top notch site clearly among the most wonderful of its kind anywhere on the web. Jaw-dropping. Via @mdo.

Rome: "3 Dreams of Black" is an ambitious interactive film made by Chris Milk with help from Google. The project was made as a Chrome experiment to show off the power of WebGL, basically enabling hardware-accelerated 3D graphics in the web browser without a plug-in. It's very impressive technologically and a mesmerizing beauty to behold. And they have done a good job of sharing the code and explaining the basics behind the development.

This one here is definitely no site in its own right. Rather, it's a single page sign up page for the Things Cloud Sync Beta pilot. What makes it worthy of a mention is a combination of the visuals and the CSS animations. Very inspiring. I also want to add how much I love the aesthetics, illustrations and level of details that Cultured Code always puts into their work.

It's not very often that I post a "coming soon" landing page here on Styleboost. This one is worth it, however, as it makes great use of CSS3 animations. Even though intro animations basically at the turn of the millennium, Kickoff shows that they can work in the right context. Well done! Via @jay_hollywood.

Twitter UI designer Mark Otto recently released an add-on pack for LESS that is sure to simplify the development process for a lot of Styleboost's readers. That in itself, however useful, does not make this worthy of posting here. But Mark designed an irresistible site to accompany the software, so now I'm left with no choice but to post it here. You should also follow @mdo on Twitter.
