Superb collection, thanks for sharing….
Wow! As I had been following your roundups for the past year, and even though I’ve seen these websites, it is still so inspiring and empowering to see them all together as they are in this post!
Thanks a lot Chris!
just wanna to say :
AMAZING
:)
nice collection Chris!
Thank you for including me :)
Thanks for including me as well! Flattery will get you everywhere…
Wow what a collection!…. A lot of these sites are still new to me as I’ve only been around here for a few months. Very inspirational, thanks for all the work you put in to compiling these lists.
Awesome inspiration :) Some great websites were designed this past year!!
Great showcase of Designs
Amazing…
Thanks XD
good collection
Woah, awesome collection – tons of inspiration to be had from these sites. Great to see so many sites employing original fonts too…
Lovely the new fresh feel of some of the designs in this years new crop of hotness!
Excellent collection! I love how some have the vintage look and have old photos.
Wow, what a year it was. Great collection!
Thanks a lot for mentioning http://coolendar.com, have a great holiday! ;)
GREAT list of talent! Thanks for sharing!
Wow! that is a lot ………
Thanks from Singapore
nice collection and i wish to suggest mine to
http://magpielabs.co.uk
Amazing list, thanks for including Rype Arts!
Excuse me while I drool. *wipes lip* This list is dope!
Nice Collection Chris… Hope to see posts like this in the new year !!
Keep them coming !
Stunning collection Chris! If I had to pick my favorite, it would be New Adventures in Web Design. The little effect they added with the shapes on each page is awesome.
I wish I knew how to do something like that.
Great list, how come http://www.skittles.com missed this? Or is it from 2009 #kindaforgot
There are a few great sites listed but many are average. The best of 2010?.. I don’t think so.
This just confirms that I’m a developer, not a designer… nice list!
Nice list! Thanks God that the Web is bigger than us… Design and WebDesign is something very, very particular… sometimes even selfish and egocentric. It is good to have so many examples of art and usable things. Congratulations!!!
Thank you so much for including our site http://ideaware.co on this list!
Solid compilation!
Wow, thanks for including Lift in the list! Much appreciated!
Thank you for listing us on your website. We appreciate it and look forward to creating more cool stuff in 2011.
Chris, thank you for including <a href="http://www.dawghousedesignstudio.com"> on this list :)
Thanks, very inspirational!
Excellent round-up. Worth a bookmark for sure!
Good man! :-)
Great! They all look exactly the same.
Impressive list.
https://www.amoderneden.com/ is my favourite.
They could all have been made in the last 5 years. Sadly, there is nothing original in that bunch :(
Sad that 75% of these are for the sites of designers/web-dev shops. Would love if actual clients wanted new and innovative designs.
Next time, I would love to see a list of websites that are not portfolio websites or selling apps. I want to see how talented designers come up with solutions in meeting the demands and requirements of large content-driven or community-building websites. It’s understandably easier to create beautiful websites when a designer only has one objective to consider and has the liberty to control every aspect of the site. It’s considerably easier to design a beautiful website that has 10-20 pages than a website that has high traffic volume and update frequency. Your list is great, nonetheless.
Amazing showcase, so inspired!
I don’t see any "best website design" here…
Awesome List. 2010 brought some slick designs to the world. Thanks for your awesome post this year Chris
Great roundup of the year Chris and thanks again for including our humble site, there truly are some awesome sites in there.
Have a look at http://www.frei-berlin.tv as well – it´s worth appearing in this list :-)
This is a great collection of site design!
Great collection. (:
There is some wonderful work here, but I notice that most of them isn’t work for clients… just portfolios and studios?
Shouldn’t this contain quite a lot more work that’s been produced for the clients of those companies?
Great collection! I especially enjoyed the Foundation Six Web Design Studio website. Great use of typography. Clean and simple design, and most importantly easy for the viewer to navigate!
Thanks for the post!
