smashingmagazine.com — The following list bucks tradition by not being tied to one particular theme; although, as you?ll see, there are subtle threads running through them. While excellent, none of these designs are perfect, and I?ve pointed out room for improvement we can learn from.

Is your life all about whining about Digg's frontpage and writing in all caps?

You must be a great lover.Ok, sorry, that was a bit harsh but my point is straight business is too lifeless and emotionless for every site and every task. I like it when a site design tries to engage my emotional side as well. Operative part here is "as well". Absence of function negates any attempts.

Creative user interfaces are fine, but it's just as terrible and boring to create "mystery meat" navigation, like some of these examples. I don't want to have to go searching through your stupid arcane and 'creative' website just to find the button that links to your portfolio. If I have to spend an overly long time trying to find stuff, I'm gonna say to hell with your website - no matter how pretty it is.Then again, maybe I'm just an old man set in his ways.

creative != good UI

Most of his work aren't actual clients but projects for school.Also the fact that this site is about 3 years old implies he doesn't have anything new.You can feel better now.

Exactly, barely any of those sites, as good-looking as they are, have innovative user interfaces at all.

I personally like the design, it's for sure a good part of a page. Fact is that with web 2.0 is intended a page oriented to the functionality/usability and not to the presentation.
