Sites of the Week #1

I’m proud to introduce a new series of articles which feature my weekly selection of websites. This list will include websites with stunning designs, cool animations and effects as well as useful applications. In this week’s collection, we will see Jan Ploch’s online portfolio, Wanderfly, Cuban Council and others.

 

Jan Ploch’s Online Portfolio

This is the Online Porfolio of Jan Ploch, a German web-designer. Features a very interesting and original “filling bottle” effect and uses a nice vertical navigation.

 

Wanderfly

Wanderfly is a highly customizable recomendation engine that simply answers this basic question: “Where can I go?”. The suggestions are displayed based on budget and interests such as “beach”, “snow”, “singles”, “romance”, and “art”.  It suggests more than 1200 destinations worldwide and matches them with flights, hotels and thousands of activities with the help of partners like Expedia, Foursquare, Nile Guide, Yelp and Lonely Planet.

 

Cuban Council

Cuban Council is a development and branding service company with locations in San Francisco and New York. These guys created the well known Facebook logo!

 

Pea Soup Andersen’s Inn

This is a really nice looking website about a hotel in California. It has a good design, nice pictures and it’s very user friendly.

 

Atebits

This is the homepage of some Apple-related applications. Its beautiful icons  and sophisticated design allows Atebits to be in this week’s list of websites.

Did you find a really amazing website showing a new concept, an original design or a brand new feature? Are you the owner of a website that offers new solutions? Send me the URL via email  (blogtonyjesuscom)   or Twitter and tell me why you think it should be posted here.
