All web designers want their work to be distinguished from the rest by its certain creative style. The challenge occurs every time is that an acceptable compromise – from one point of view, their product should be designed according to all requirements, to be functional and customized. From another aspect, it should be creative and original enough without copying elements from other sites.

In this post, we tried to collect several truly outstanding designs. We’ll support our choice with short explanations what indeed makes these web sites so good and remarkable. We hope that our brief revue will be useful for you in you work/web sites.

Less = more

Design simple web sites. It’s just too easy and seductive to fill a web site with a lot of information. Don’t be afraid of space on a page. People often ask questions why a web page has a lot of empty space but when it comes to discuss print design nobody asks this. Because everybody knows that empty space gives a feeling of organization and legibility. That’s why a web page should be designed with more empty space to be able to breathe.

Besides, a designer should select the colours carefully. Then, the site will have remarkable impact. The examples we have prove the beautiful use of colour and space.

Images and Typography

Prove your creativity with images and typography. Think of a web site as a poster or a book. It will help you to distance your site from the thousands of “Web 2.0″ style clone sites. No doubt, you’ll be impressed by RVLT site below. It’s in flash but it’ it’s truly impressing. Even the way the page loading is breathtaking.

The fact that you don’t want to use Flash for SEO sake, doesn’t mean that one can’t create just as impressive and effective site designs using just HTML and CSS.

Stand against the Net trends

Представените в статията дизайни на уеб сайтове 24 Ways и Clap Clap показва как уеб сайтовете могат да бъдат красиви, като същевременно с това се различават коренно от съвременните тенденции в Мрежата.

Web design is suffocating in proven trends: Gradients, subtle 3D effects, shadows, glows, textures. They all have a place but if you really want to stand out from the crowd do something different. Avoid the modern trends, experiment and maybe even set trends!

In the post you can see the web sites of 24 Ways and Clap Clap which show beautiful a web site can be even though they don’t follow the current Net trends.

Pay attention to the details

One magic that will help your site stand out from the crowd is your attention to detail. A great example of such designer attitude is the site of Elliot Jay Stocks, Boutique Cycles and Checkland Kindleysides.
