New website design showcase
csstux.com — There's a brand new CSS site gallery out that has some great sites. Really good resource for web designers in need of inspiration. Allows start-up sites to get the same attention that the big guys get.

- yourhead, on 10/12/2007, -13/+12The site is looking really great Adam. You've really set the bar high for the other showcase sites. This is really 'best in class.'
- mockstar, on 10/12/2007, -8/+19...but your hosting sucks!
- paroxsitic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9http://duggmirror.com/design/New_website_design_showcase/
- scorpy01, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I picked 4 of the websites at random and ran them through the markup and css validators at the W3C. None validated. The markup had between 12 and 460 errors. The CSS had from one to a dozen errors and all had several warnings.
A gallery that shows how to use CSS should at least validate. Unless you're really pushing the envelope (as in http://www.cssplay.co.uk/index.html) valid markup and css should be a given. - gerkin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Validity should be the _first_ thing tested when showcasing a CSS type site. They don't validate should == they don't get showcased.
And is it just me, or do all those sites look pretty cookie cutter? I selected 4 random ones and they all looked like the same layout with slightly (and I mean slightly) different graphics.
- heckmeck, on 10/12/2007, -7/+6Beautiful showcase for beautiful web pages!
Great work Adam. - g5604, on 10/12/2007, -14/+11is there really a need for yet another css gallery? what does this site do different ? it does not even have a rss feed!
- doodirock2, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Seriouly. Just stop.
- JamFactory, on 10/12/2007, -8/+5Great looking showcase ~ I love it sir!
- jdee, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1its DEAD!!?
- aDub, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Site is down... mirror?
- david76, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6The fact that these sites use CSS has nothing to do with the quality of their designs. That said, it's nice to show people what can be done with CSS.
- wozley, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Damn, I wanted to see it too.
- westwind429, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Dugg to come back to later.
- spect3r, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Everytime a page gets dugg, always remeber that there is ALWAYS a mirror at duggmirror.com
All you have to do is replace digg.com to duggmirror.com
So for this page, it would be:
http://duggmirror.com/design/New_website_design_showcase
Lesson for the day is complete. Yaar.- grrreat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Maybe digg staff should consider adding in the duggmirror links automatically
- atlantisceo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Firefox has a nifty little extension that puts it in for you every time. It requires Greasemonkey, but it is very helpful to me.
- floppyparty, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Cool site, HORRIBLE name.
It should be CSS* Tux
* we really mean Images + Flash.
I've never seen a loading bar built with CSS - keesj, on 11/07/2007, -5/+11Just what we needed, another CSS Showcase website. Showcase websites are so 2005.
- wrongway, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Maybe next time you can do a showcaswe of how to handle traffic.
- vibez, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2http://duggmirror.com/design/New_website_design_showcase
- xxdesmus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Dear god, this is only the 500th "CSS Gallery" ...no digg, not even all that interesting anyways.
- Cl1mh4224rd, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Damnit... I'm seriosuly tempted to create a "CSS Showcase Showcase": a website that showcases all the websites that showcase other websites.
This really is getting kind of ridiculous. - xxdesmus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2lol... that's not a half bad idea.
Ok, really though ...it's just ridiculous at this point. Either do something hugely unique or don't even bother because this is waste of everyone's time at this point.
- Cl1mh4224rd, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Damnit... I'm seriosuly tempted to create a "CSS Showcase Showcase": a website that showcases all the websites that showcase other websites.
- dustjacket, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1101 diggs and down, so much for 2.0
- JesseDidThis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3ya know, there are a lot of these showcase sites, but a lot of them show the same sites. I'm always looking for some wit fresh content.
- sciencebase, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2I wish I had the time to learn how to make the most of CSS, I use it with my site, but it's a real mish-mash of css, tables, spans and other crap. Thankfully, the content is a little better than the underlying structure (I hope!)
http://www.sciencebase.com/breaking_science_news.asp - yongfookathome, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7because we always need yet another CSS showcase site.
with exactly the same functionality as all the others, no less.
Why not try to be more creative (nice domain - do something with it). Commenting systems we have on other CSS showcase sites. Why not make something more applicable to web design? Like what flickr has done with notes - let people highlight certain parts of the screenshot and comment on them. Otherwise you just get a bunch of arbitrary text comments on a separate page that are difficult to relate to the design.- g5604, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2exactly the sentiment i got dugg down for.. well said.
- arkmtech, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Very nice! Another fantastic resource for budding web designers & freelancers to be inspired by.
- dinkumator, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2i love how its yet another CSS design gallery... but on top of that, it lists quite a few sites with flash navigation?? flash is not the same as CSS
- joaob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3found 3 sites with absolutely no CSS on it. So no Digg.
- dmduke, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Perhaps put some link to the css file or some way to help users create something similar? Otherwise, whats the point?
- roguepixel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Sweet yet another CSS gallery, shame the sacrificed thumbnails that can show the actual layout to something that just looks shiny, I'll stick with CSSmania.
- RonnieSan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3My favorite gallery is http://www.webcreme.com. It's updated everyday.
- theotherlight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Good mention, I was just about to post the same thing. Whenever I have designers block, I always go have a gander at webcreme... the stuff there is a little redundant sometimes, but there's bound to be something there that can spring an idea.
- jimyboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.miniajax.com
- paularms, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3wow... looks surprisingly like http://www.cssremix.com
- phill, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2My thoughts exactly. Even the rating stars are similar.
- kriegs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1exactly what I was goin to say.
- torion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5my favorite is http://www.csselite.com
- RidinDirty, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3How is this CSS when most of the sites are flash heavy?
- static_13, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1www.css-galleries.com - has all you need...
css galleries have all the same content and most of it is just LAME!!!
this one has to much glass/aque style... even the thumbail images get one! *****!
plus, when css showcases will learn that people actualy want BIGGER SCREEN IMAGES!!!! like 200px of width and 100 of height, to show more detail...
sometimes i see a thumbail of a site i possible would like to see and then i click on it i get a f**kin pseudo-css site, most of those are made in flash.... no css at all...
it's just wrong! - ThirdPrize, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1You know the CSS heavy sites. They flash up the text first and a couple of seconds later the pretty colours arrive.
- gerkin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3The "featured site" is a joke (or at least I'm hoping it is). It's called jam factory and it's a fixed height of around 500 px, sheesh. I didn't realize that to get your work showcased you had to make such crap. Sure it looks pretty (if you consider neon green pretty). Take a look at their CSS. It doesn't validate and is pretty fugly.
Why oh why is this a "featured site"? hah. credibility-- - smhill, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2It has been done.
It has been done much better.
Missing the basic features that every other lame-ass clone.
CSS != Design in general.
Smells fishy/spammy... some of the sites listed are all related to one on another in some way.
Can mark something as spam and lame? It's too hard to choose.- smhill, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Ok, additional lameness. Most of the "Great site!" comments here are from people who are "showcased" on that site. Digg spam as well.
Way lame.
- smhill, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Ok, additional lameness. Most of the "Great site!" comments here are from people who are "showcased" on that site. Digg spam as well.
- JamFactory, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2"Don't hate the player, hate the game."
I didnt ask to be featured, it was nice that I was chosen. Im re-building the site in CSS and im halfway at the moment so there's no way in hell it'll validate. It's half nice CSS, half evil Tables.
Oh and what the ***** is wrong with a fixed height!? If you dont like it, don't visit it! I'm sure i'll live another day knowing you don't like my stuff. - Vinhdicated, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Everything is so glossy...
- blueangel5383, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1it's not so cool when you name your site css___ and the featured site on there is all table layout........
- DrQuincy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Oh dear, not more, CSS is great, tables should never get used. Don't comment on it if you don't know what you're talking about. I'm pig sick of this CSS band wagon.
- multimago, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This showcase is the best one! simple but very cool!
Great job Adam- multimago, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Many designers like to put very nice sites, this is the good start!
- admartinator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wonderfull showcase with nice sites! That rocks!
- jasonmcintyre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Great look ...
- studiow, on 10/22/2007, -0/+0started to browse this site, i really like it, you did a good job on it!
Keep up the good work!
