Not really a full-fledged site. Merely a holding page teasing us with a new desktop app for web designers. Still, Clearleft decides to throw in some extraordinary alpha png details that make this tiny site a one of a kind that deserves some attention. Try resizing the browser window, and you'll see what I'm talking about. That sweet Gorilla comes courtesy of Jon Hicks. Via SimpleBits.

Toggle is an award winning web, branding and packaging company with a website that makes you say 'yummy!' - at least that was my reaction. The colors are a perfect match, the logo is sharp, the CSS/JS details are great, and the overall friendly presentation is a winner. We should all keep an eye on these folks in the future. I'm sure there will be more wonders created soon.

Made in ENGLAND by Gentlemen is made by Simon Cook who is very proud of his big moustache. This is essentially his blog where he feeds us with fun and interesting stuff, including some wonderful desktop images. The design is highly detailed and the color scheme is to die for. There's a lot that's worth looking at/reading here, too. Make sure to take a look at the favicon in Firefox!

I wonder if this service can keep its promise of helping to create and deliver fantastic email campaigns. But that doesn't really matter when it comes to being listed here on Styleboost. The online home of Mail & go is a true beauty, featuring the same color-scheme as Batman and the elegance of Robin. It simply shows what Mail & go is all about, and it does it with style. It's even got a shiny logo. What's not to love?

Conservation architect Christian Randall just launched his new Flashfolio. This one really stands out in how it relies on photos as navigation on a site for someone who's not primarily a photographer. I like how this is done and I like how the subtle hiding of the left column/navigation. Site by Sam Dallyn.

Web and graphic design freelancer Grace Smith may very well be the first person from Northern Ireland whose work is featured here on Styleboost. The colors are exquisite and then details are delicious. Clean, sharp and with a lot of personality.

Based in the UK, Nik Ainley is a designer, but first of all an illustrator. His insane illustrations are laid out in a H.R. Giger-esque one-page portfolio. In contrast to the plain layout of this site, there's truly a lot going in many of his artworks.

TAK! is a UK based creative team of designers, art directors, programmers, illustrators, photographers and film makers. I immediately fell in love with their portfolio. The colors are yummy. The use of Flash for animated details is exquisite, even though I'm sure a lot of you would prefer that it was done with javascript instead. I disagree, as I find Flash to deliver a smoother experience in situations like this (most of the time, at least). The work on display sure is killer, and the way they've made room for a blog/playground is a great way to do this. I'm also loving the way they're using typography in their designs and on the site itself. Lovely!

This is the official site for BBC Good Food Magazine, where you can search for [quality controlled] recipes. It is not the most creative site I've encountered in my lifetime, but it sure is one of a few information-heavy sites that have a very clear [and beautiful] design profile. The bold use of colors, the great use of photos, the lovely tabs, the graphic details. It all works together to create a great user experience.
