Every week, I collect some of the best websites in my bookmarks based on the following criteria:

• UX
• Use of brand elements
• Visual Hierarchy
• Content Structure
• Uniqueness

10) fal.ai

Loved the illustrations and the incorporation of brand elements here. I think this is what happens when you have a client who’s willing to let you do your thing. Kudos to Adam Ho for this brand and site.

9) matrix.vc

Another Adam Ho banger. Much simpler VC site but still great for the same reasons as above: unique incorporation of brand elements. Anyone can make a simple minimal site, but the real struggle is adding personality to the site while doing so.

8) https://buildingbok.com

Great colour palette and I like the block UI which feels in-line with the visual identity. I like when the layout feels like it’s custom designed for the brand and messaging.

7) https://stripe.press/boom

Crazy site by the Stripe Press crew. Experimental and really honing into that grunge, tech, multi-media design style. Also, sick scroll animations. I feel like this site could have been more branded and have more layout variation but still a super solid effort by the team.

6) trippin.world

Simple blog that I actually wanted to read. Great filters and usable site, even on mobile.

5) replo.app

Biased since this site was designed by our studio. A big refresh for the folks at Replo and a big task for us to bring it together. We basically redid their visual identity as a part of this revamp and had a lot of fun with it.

4) poolside.ai

Great little elements and details on this site. They did the whole “new school B2B SaaS” style but made it fun and unique.

3) kathairos.com

A more standard site but I appreciate the use of 3D elements, gradients, and unique layouts. I think it’s a great way of showing information and nothing feels like its done just for the sake of it. Use of layout feels intentional.

2) paradigm.xyz

Banger redesign. I love the use of ascii art and the little animation details. Great, simple redesign with a lot of personality. I think it’s hard to fuck up a site like this since the brand is really well degiend but I like the way they approached the design.

1. rosenorgrove.com

Great layout, good use of typography and unique visual layout. I like the animations across the site and it feels like it’s implemeted consistently everywhere.

That’s all. I do this kind of post on my X account every week:
