Revo--A great interface and clean layout make this site a pleasure to navigate through.
The Davelockwood Daily--This site successfully taps into the power of the metaphor. Simple and small, yet suggestive and powerful.
Killersites--This ultra-clean site is constructed by David Siegel, author of Creating Killer Web Sites. Siegel's site boasts an interesting look, gives excellent navigational clues, and successfully accommodates changing information.
Spiegel--The wonderful graphics suggest this company knows and respects its audience.
Garden.com--Despite all the clutter, this site touts some fantastic features, most notably "Design a Garden" and "Select a Plant." They give you a tool you want to use and will no doubt find invaluable. Then they ask, "By the way, wanna buy it?" How can you resist? It's brilliant.
Amazon.com--Amazon books does an excellent job of incorporating people's feedback on books they've read and building a "reading" community. Plus, they have a great model for Push. We know it works--we've bought books because of it!
PBS Hong Kong '97--This site is nice and clean, is easily updated, and offers interesting content to boot. It's also one of the few websites that features a high-tech toy (Java script rollovers) without being clunky or messy.
Campbell's Soup--The designers have done a smashing job of capturing the look and feel of this household brand. We also liked the recipes--and what a coincidence--you need to buy some cans of soup to make them!
Honda--Check out the feature in which you select the paint color. What more can we say?
Salon Magazine--This highly usable site is not overly impressive at first. But the more you use it, the more you like it. (It goes way beyond the wow factor.) And to us, that defines good design.
