Another great Norwegian site design was just released. I find this design to be a great accomplishment, as they've managed to make it memorable while at the same time making the text very easily readable. They've also done some great content and design decisions that I think will provide them with a lot of new clients. Unfortunately, this site is in Norwegian only. Simple, beautiful and effective.

This Norwegian site for a small jazz festival taking place in Ålesund later this year is a powerful example of an outstanding single page design. I love the job We Make has done with this. And I love the fact that a site like this doesn't need to have a huge hierarchy of pages.

Carbonmade has just received an amazing makeover. The pages have basically changed into a bunch of super beautiful illustrated posters. And for some reason they've managed to do this while at the same time making the site extremely responsive. And who doesn't want to sign up for a service where the login button says "Moustache!"?

Basically, this site is outstanding because of the choice of technology. I would not have posted this site here on Styleboost had it been made with Flash. That is not to say it's a bad or boring design. It's not. I like it a lot. But it's also a design that is made in the spirit of a lot of traditional portfolio sites made with Flash, if you catch my drift. And I'm sure a lot of webdesigners will be interested in seeing how this has been implemented using CSS, HTML and JavaScript. Kudos to Appear.

I'm selling colors, the tagline for Adhemas Batista's portfolio site is very fitting. His work makes powerful use of bold colors often combined with abstract or almost psychedelic shapes and imagery. I've been so lucky to have had the joy of relying on his services a few years ago, and can attest to his mad skills. His portfolio was last showcased here on Styleboost in 2006, but was recently redesigned.

Despite discovering this site through Smashing Magazine's Showcase of Web Design In Germany, I find this Swiss site to to be quite a beauty. There are so many details, and the changeable background color is a nice touch.

This concept behind this website is very simple and quite obvious. I think the fact that it's so obvious in combination with the implementation makes this a really great site. Impressive for sure.

I think this one's some months old, but I can't understand why I haven't posted it here on Styleboost until now. Strange. As a matter of fact, this site is very detailed and oozes of highly skilled craftsmanship. It's hard to describe how well done all the graphics are. This one you just have to experience for yourself.

Swedish Television recently launched their web based TV site with help from Doberman. SVT Play is the mothership of SVT's Public Service initiative to reach out to its audience on the web. At SVT Play, you can lean back and enjoy the show you missed yesterday, and find new interesting entertainment. Too bad the site (and the shows) are in Swedish only, because this is one sweet piece of work. I hope others take notice and learn a thing or two about great user experiences from SVT Play.

The 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast is a project that will publish one podcast per day, for all 365 days of 2009. The podcast episodes are written, recorded and produced by people around the world. They definitely did something extra with the design of this one-year blog. It's very unusual for science related sites to look this good.
