Two Create is an award winning multidisciplinary design agency offering a full range of client services from art direction, branding, spatial and product design to packaging and print. I love the refined elegance of this clean and simple portfolio. The site was designed by Sam Dallyn.

Etch is a small digital design & development agency located in Kent, UK. I think this is an incredible site with regards to elegantly and effectively explaining what they are all about. They come off as high quality and all around nice folks.

Ditto is a beautifully designed online shop for buying designer eyewear. Make sure to check out the "Recommendations" feature, as it is both technologically and ux-wise a wonderfully implemented tool. The site would be great even if it wasn't for this single feature. Also, I'm loving the addition of the little "$" icons as an incentive to lure new users in to engage with the site.

Momentum is a three person web studio based in the UK. Their portfolio site is very slick, to say the least. I especially love how they've added a frame around the site on bigger screens, but at the same time have avoided this on smaller screens.

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.

A wonderful example of how to make a minimalist website that truly puts the contents front and center. What really struck me with this one is the monochromatic interface combined with such great typography, margins and use of whitespace. Love the dark textured, left-hand sidebar.

This Brit has been one of the most influential web designers over the past couple of years as far as pushing for more visually powerful and unusual layouts go. Some of his previous works are truly masterpieces in their own right. When most of the really exciting interface designs lately have been apps, Mike has kept on designing more traditional websites, but at the same time making these really exciting and dazzling at the same time. You should follow Mike on Twitter.

Edward Hann's single page portfolio is an example of paying attention to all the little details. My favorite part of this one is how he has laid out the images of his work.

"A unique and affordable web design conference in the heart of England" is a tagline that I'm finding it very easy to like. What's even better, the conference site is yummy and features some great CSS3 features.

Un.titled has done a great job with the Meos site. I'm very impressed with how they manage to combine straightforward techniques and very few effects into such a brilliant piece of design. Excellent layout and use of images. Also, love the subnavigation.
