Here's the portfolio of an Oslo based design agency that unfortunately has only a Norwegian language site. However, it should be pretty straight-forward to navigate for Styleboost's international audience. I love how they've managed to keep it all elegant and spacious while at the same time making use of large, easily legible type. The minimal footer is also a nice touch. As are the colors.

I love everything about Everyday Photos by young Norwegian designer/photographer Kristian Hjelle. It's a clean and simple little photo blog, and it's perfectly executed. Of course it doesn't hurt that the photos are great. With gorgeous typography and every little detail just feeling right, this makes for an outstanding little site. The only thing I miss is keyboard navigation.

This clean new architect portfolio site by Bleed and Værsågod feels close to perfect. The color scheme is subtly brilliant. If I have to nit-pick, I think the people filtering should function on hover instead of click, and the news feed is a wee bit confusing/annoying. Via @tobiasbaeck.

Styleboost regulars Emil Bonsaksen and Anthoni Giskegjerde and the rest of the team at I&M have done a great job with the recent redesign of their website. I really like what the grid, the use of white space and the typography throughout.

Shortcut is one of Norway's leading iOS app development studios. They recently launched their elegantly redesigned portfolio site. My favorite part: The individually customized app presentation pages.

Netlife Research is a UX/UI consultancy based in Oslo, Norway. In the past I've found their work to be more focused on usability, IA & content strategy, rather than aesthetically pleasing designs. And they've been doing a damn fine job with that. But now, with the recent redesign of their own website, they seem to have stepped things up in the aesthetics department as well — in part thanks to some fantastic illustrations by @PabloLobato. They've written a post about the redesign in Norwegian.

Krillbite is an indie game development studio based in Hamar, Norway. My favorite parts about the site are the illustrated details, the typography (even though the body text is a tad tiny), the use of colors, the highlighted navigation items (great touch) and the humor.

@geirarne and @gjermis just launched a super-beautiful redesign of my previous employer @mesen's website. This is so much better than the previous version which I was involved with. The timeline is a great touch and the visual touch they've added to the project photos adds a whole new level to the site. Also love the content strategy and information architecture behind the redesign. Sorry English speakers, this site is in Norwegian only.

An Oslo based app development shop with a very Nordic look. Featuring beautiful mountains, the Northern Lights, lots of snow and great apps. The only thing I'd like to see changed on this site is the typography in the body text.

Finally Grandpeople has a website to match the quality of their illustrations and graphic design work. Simply wonderful.
