North Kingdom are probably most famous for their incredible Flash campaign sites. At least that's how I got to know them. Their own portfolio site, however, is built with HTML5, CSS and JavaScript with wonderful results. It's a lightweight, easily navigated portfolio type site that's a pleasure to use. It's beautiful and highly usable without being flashy (no pun intended).

After reading about Why Tumblr is kicking Posterous's ass, I think it's time to post one of Tumblr's beautiful subprojects. BTW Tumblr even has ASCII art in their markup.

One of my all time favorite web designers finally steps out of the dark caverns of Facebook and into the daylight to draw some fresh air - and at the same time manage to redesign his personal site. All I can say, is wow. I am left speechless by the way he has turned his site around. The individual background images of the blog posts/articles combined with the stripped down interface make for one of the best blog designs I've ever seen. Rob also use's Typekit with great success.

Frank Chimero is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Missouri. Frank also runs a blog called Questionable Characters with the esteemed Ben Barry. Frank's site is an example to follow. It's basically a combination of static pages (Home & Profile), Tumblr based pages (Blog & Ethos) and a Cargo based Work section. I love how he's mixed all these together and made it so beautiful and readable.

Pictory is a great project with an incredible design. This is one of those site designs I'd love to call my own. It's big, beautiful, boxy and bold, and still manages to break out of its own constraints. Simply stunning. Via @chrismessina.

Great use of colors and geometric illustrations/graphs. Very clean and elegant solution which leaves attention to the contents. All in all, very nice but not spectacular. Via Drawar.

Slovenian Sara Tušar Suhadolc is a webdesigner at Innovatif who has worked on projects for clients such as Volkswagen, McDonalds, Mercator, Mobitel and many others. Sara specializes in semantic (X)HTML, handcrafted CSS, web typography, newsletter design and occasional Flash animation. I love the illustrations, the colors and all the details (e.g. the clickable monsters).

I think Ben Bodien's words describe this site and its designer, Mike Kus, perfectly: "That @mikekus is getting too good at this event site designing stuff. He must be stopped."

Daniel Burka has finally launched something new after joining Tiny Speck. In his own words, he's been "warming up to RGBA, rounded corners, minor transforms, and advanced selectors more and more". This may be a simple one-page site without any fancy bells and whistles, but it's a slick one at that.

In the same fashion as JasonSanta Maria, YaronSchoen and Dustin Curtis, Trent Walton individually designs every single blog post/article he writes. Beautiful and inspirational. Now all I need to do, is turn my simple tumblelog into something beautiful, personal and intelligent. Via @paravelinc.
