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.

Simple and beautiful portfolio from a small four person design agency based in Los Angeles, California. What strikes me about this site is their style that manages to wonderfully unite analog and digital visuals, as well as the fact that every single page looks elegantly crafted. Not world changing, but truly impressive nonetheless. Via The Fox is Black.

It has taken a few years, but the world class Swedish digital agency Doberman has finally come around to creating a proper website for themselves. Even though I think they should have dropped the "Tweets and blog feeds" from the home page, as this basically only serves to clutter their message, this is only nitpicking from my side. The project presentations and the other various sections of the site combine function and form with great success.

I've fallen in love with Kerem's brilliant work lately. Not to mention that his portfolio site is top notch in all aspects as well. Large, crisp product photos while keeping everything to the point just adds to the fact that this guy is world class. No-frills and beautiful stuff all over. BTW Kerem's an Interface Designer at Fitbit.

Historically I've found it difficult to find truly spectacular portfolio sites online. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. This week, for some reason, I've discovered two such sites. Put simply, the Kyan portfolio site is close to perfection in my book. They've gone for an ambitious, quite content heavy approach, and they've succeeded with flying colors. The combination of canvas animations, subtle details, beautiful typography, great content strategy work and incredible illustrations make for one of the boldest and most memorable portfolios in a long time. The homepage slider is just plain fantastic.

Goodie! One of my favorite Norwegian design studios finally moved away from their old portfolio built with Flash. This new site clearly shows how well these designers understand the web, not only technology-wise but also the UX. This is probably one of my favorite site designs in a while. Just check out the beautiful typography and grid. The slide-in search box is also an exquisite touch.

Slick and to-the-point portfolio site for Swedish interface designer Farzad Ban. I love how he basically displays 2 sentences, 8 projects and 3 basic calls to action. Nothing overly fancy but it's very easy to digest and looks great.

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.

SWE is a creative Swedish agency with a nice little portfolio. The site is laid out with a very clear grid. It's atypical and it works well, though some of the transitions get a bit old (i.e. slow) after a few clicks. I really like how the site relies on typography throughout the design.

Another goodie I found in Rebekah Cox's latest design inspiration post. I think this portfolio site can best be described as elegant, shiny, slick and subtle — or something along those lines. The most impressive parts of the site are the homepage and the Flight Card presentation. Also, pay attention to the quality of the user interfaces in their apps.
