Pie in the Sky
I just ran across Pie in the Sky yesterday and have to say that everything is perfect here. You’ve got great photography, great layout, crisp easy to read copy and on top of that the logo is slick! It was designed by a local agency.

The authors of Solution Watch bring us unFortunate, an online fortune cookie fortune generator. Don’t miss the hall-of-fame, where the best fortune cookie fortunes (I love saying that) are listed.
Union Coffee Roasters
Sites like Union Coffee Roasters appear to have fallen by the wayside for some reason. I think the trend is away from mostly graphical sites. My eye is drawn to the really strong use of a grid in this layout.
Smith Optics
Smith Optics uses some funky type treatments, a brave typeface for the navigation, and lots of bright colors. Cool!
Palm Products
I really dig the Palm Products page.
Wilshire Blvd.
Curating the City: Wilshire Blvd. is an interesting site. Underneath this beautiful site is some code that isn’t the prettiest I have ever seen but it’s worth passing along.
Lacoste
I found the Lacoste site rather different. It is painfully overdone with simple animations and blends and if you removed them would make the site so much better. Problems: Hard to navigate, big buttons that have graphics but mean nothing, and not enough product is shown.

How is it that you always find these beautiful websites before I do? What’s your secret?
Connections James, connections. Hahaha. j/k
Actually, not many people know this and I’ll let you in on a secret. There’s a small troup of midget albinos in Iceland that send me links to web sites that are cool. I pay them with goats and sometimes shipments of goat cheese.
Shhh… I think it’s against 9rules rules but since nobody knows what the rules are (and those that know don’t talk about them) I can’t be sure.
I just saw this website somewhere. I think it might have been the Create magazine. I like the use of white space, but I think the interior pages could have been built better. The content feels pretty cramped and they keep using Italics/BoldItalics which isn’t very legible. Overall though, 8/10.
