"Time tracking rethought." With a tagline like that, I expect a lot from a service like this. After trying it out for a little while (not nearly enough), my impression is that this is a solid service both functionality-wise and design-wise. I'm an avid user of Tick, but the delicious design of Freckle makes me wish that the Tick team gives the site a similar realignment in the future. Freckle has an exquisite color scheme, elegant interface interactivity details (js) and oozes of love. What a refreshing site. Even if you're not interested in a Time tracking app, you should sign up for a free account just to play with the interface.

Campaign Monitor is a "100% Rebrandable email marketing software just for designers". The man himself, Jesse Bennett-Chamberlain, has designed the new site, which I must admit is an instant favorite. All the graphics are great, the layout is very clean, and it is superbly easy to navigate. Jesse is not reinventing the wheel, but instead going for perfection. And he succeeds with style.

Tim Van Damme’s brand new online presence is dead simple. So simple, in fact, that I dare call it genious. Its design is razor sharp. This is exactly what I need for myself. Via Twitter.

If you're wondering what this service does, Syncplicity makes sure you always have the files you need at your fingertips, anytime, anywhere. I'm a devoted SugarSync user myself, but I like this site design. It's pretty straightforward, but the colors work wonders and I like the way they've implemented the individual page headers/navigation "ribbons" (not sure what to call it). The "Tour" is also a good example to follow.

Kyan is a creative web design/development from the UK. Their site features some of the most delicate little graphics and a great color scheme. What's not to like about this accessible site. I really wish I had this one in my own portfolio. Too bad I don't. Via Six Revisions.

Another Norwegian only site, this time for a two person creative web/photo/print agency. I like the little details, and some of the work in their portfolio is outstanding.

Time for another Norwegian studio portfolio. This time it's a digital advertising/production agency located in Oslo. I came across this as Magne Hage, a childhood friend of mine from Skien, sent me a tip about the new site. Magne is their 3D animator, and as far as I can tell, a truly skilled one at that, too. I really like the way The Voyagers are focussing on creating a story and "universe" around their portfolio. It works very well, even though I think they're using a bit too much Flash when they shouldn't.

The personal blog of two Norwegian students currently attending Sweden's world renowned Hyper Island. This kind of stuff makes me proud of saying that I'm Norwegian. Truly one of a kind. The use of illustrations in the design works perfectly, and the colors are priceless. All I can say is AWESOM-O.

Matt Hamm is a Freelance Web Designer from Farnham, Surrey, UK. The welcome illustration, combined with the color scheme made this one stand out from the crowd, imho.
