The new Teehan+Lax website is gorgeous. Not only that, but it's also very refreshing to see someone rethinking the function and layout of the front page of their portfolio site. The site is clean and functionalistic, and seems clearly inspired by a mobile first approach. It's also sprinkled with lots of great details all over, so you need to browse around for a bit to discover everything they have done with this. Make sure that you also read Geoff and Jon's wonderfully candid story of their company.

Work is a world class branding and product design team located in the heart of Oslo. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that they are passionate about their work. They also have the skills and resources to do incredible work for their clients. The site is clean and elegant throughout. My favorite part is how well they communicate their work through the use of big photos, their love for their craft, as well as the fact that they're in it for the long haul.

SDG is one of Norway's premiere design agencies. They focus on corporate identity, packaging design and interactive design, and consistently produce top quality work. Finally this is reflected through their own website as well. Check it out, because this is good stuff!

The recent acquisition of ReadWriteWeb by Say Media has resulted in a wonderful redesign and rebranding into what is now known as ReadWrite. I must admit that I love the design. Rarely has a news site felt this fresh and modern. Three thumbs up for the parallax-ish scrolling technique. For more info, Fake Steve Jobs aka Dan Lyons, the new editor-in-chief of ReadWrite, has a good writeup about the new site and concept. Via Martin Berglund.

The Next Web recently gave their site a nice big responsive overhaul. The result is one of the prettier news sites around. However, what I find more interesting are the moves they've made to make their content more easily accessible. Specifically I'm thinking of the now very simple main navigation, the big type, the well organized homepage, the clean article layouts, and so on. Main main takeaway from the redesign is that they tried — and succeeded — to make the site less overwhelming. This is something that very few news sites dare to do.

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.

Oliver Reichenstein's Information Architects is probably one of the world's most highly respected digital design agencies. With an impressive portfolio and a tendency to be among those who set the agenda when it comes to the most interesting design trends and debates, it's no suprise that they've done something truly inspiring and experimental when it comes to their own site. My favorite detail in the new design appears next to the scroll bar if you start scrolling in the blog.

Google Ventures got a beautiful new site a little while back. The fact that they fixed the header in the background is probably my favorite part of this site. The site was designed by the Google Ventures design studio. Via Dribbble.

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.
