10 best-designed websites in the world

• This is our pick of 10 outstanding web
  sites. It's personal preference, and you don't
  have to agree, but we'll try to explain why these
  designs are great.

www.apple.com

• Apple is the best example of striking the balance
  of simplicity (white space, strong type) with
  rich imagery sensitively-applied.
• It's also a big, varied, constantly-new site with
  loads of content, which always feels easy
  enjoyable to navigate.
• For solving the numerous demands on the UI so
  elegantly, this is, in my opinion, the
  best-designed web site in the world today.

www.mozilla.com

• Clear, open, fresh, simple. When you arrive at
  this site, you're under no doubt what the site
  does, or where to start looking for what you
  want. The design is positive and happy. A winner.

www. iconbuffet.com

• The site sells icons, so it lets the icons rule,
  showing its wares from the first page.
• The colours and typography are solid strong,
  projecting a trustworthy brand while not getting
  in the way of the proposition.

• Why We Whisper - restoring our right to say it's
  wrong is a book about freedom of speech in the
  USA, written by Senator Jim DeMint and J. David
  Woodward.
• The page design is a great example of
  pixel-saving in action, with very little
  complexity going into the page background
  (chrome), leaving room for large, clear type. I
  love the flourished rules between the quotes.
• If I have one criticism, the pgae doesn't tell
  you up-front what it's about.. relying on prior
  knowledge or even reading, which may be a lot to
  ask.
• Another very worthy simple impacting book site
  is Gangs of America.com, book by Ted Nace.

• The guy's an illustrator, so his site has to
• Show his work
• Be interesting and characterful
• It does both these things really well!
• The graphic design is designed around Alex's
  work, with intelligent typography and just enough
  pixels used to give the site background its
  tattered, rich vibe.
• I love the way his portfolio page uses gradients
  to suggest the work in a print context.

• Another icon maker, doing bigger, richer icons,
  so the the site showcases them bigger richer.
• Bold, flattish colour creates a strong first
  impression and still lets the product stand out.

• Tony Yoo's collection of recommended web
  resources is a great example of strong graphic
  elements balancing to make a site that's bold and
  easy to use.
• Big text, simple nav, high usability, all wrapped
  in strong colour and finished off with nice
  graphical touches.

• Another illustrator's site (Kevin Cornell). What
  can I say about this that I didn't say about Alex
  Dukal's site?
• It embodies the essence of Kevin's style, and -
  if you look - does an excellent job of filling
  the space with content, needing almost no page
  furniture at all.
• Count how many things on the page are both
  navigation and content. Everything has had the
  touch of the illustrator's brush, so the site is
  just saturated with his talent.

• Dan Cederholm's personal wine review project
  provides a neat, cleanly-designed interface,
  featuring an intelligent colour scheme and
  fantastic simple logo.
• Easy to use and fun to browse. This site strikes
  the balance just right.

• Oh so 2.0, but I just love it. You know what gets
  me every time? Acres of balanced white space,
  easy-read text and cute content graphics
  combining to tell a simple story. First-rate.
