The guys at LayerVault have created one of the best examples of a beautifully designed flat interfaces I've ever encountered. If you haven't already, you really should check out LayerVault. Make sure to have a look at their blog, their designer news service and their open source projects as well.

It's refreshing to see someone approach blog design with such a different mindset as Tobias van Schneider and Stephen Burgess did with Minimal Monkey. It's especially nice when the result is something so superb as this. Make sure you don't miss this one. Via Dribbble.

It's refreshing to see such a stripped down portfolio site as Awkward. You may have heard of their baby, Shipment, which is a similarly beautiful web app. Awkward is minimal, flat, full of white space and definitely not awkward. Hot stuff!

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.

If you haven't heard of Daniel Källbom yet, now is the time. He has mad skills, he works on wonderfully disruptive projects and he has a phenomenal portfolio. If you like Daniel's work, you should also check his brother's portfolio.

As Styleboost has been on hiatus for the past few months, there's quite a backlog of sites that should have been posted here a long time ago. Disqus is one such site. This is perhaps one of the most interesting experiments I've ever encountered when it comes to homepage designs. The interactive Disqus demo prominently placed in the center of the homepage just immediately pulls the user in. Not only is it a powerful visual cue, but it also quickly manages to show off the tool that is Disqus. Would be very interesting to see how well this converts new sign-ups for them.

A few weeks ago Microsoft launched a completely revamped responsive homepage design. To get the quality they wanted, they decided to hire Paravel to help them out. And what a move that was. The result couldn't have been any better. And as Nishant Kothary, project lead at Microsoft, pointed out, even John Gruber gave it two thumbs up. Trent Walton has written a post about the design process.

This one here is simply a small and incredibly beautiful iOS app teaser page. The colors, illustrations and subtle animations do wonders to show off the potential of this game.

Wantful is basically a service for buying + sending gifts to friends and loved ones — with a twist. I really think the Facebook integration in the form when you first try the service is brilliant way of getting new users to sign up. Also, make sure that you go through the process of specifying your friend's interests at least once. It's remarkably well done.
