Evernote.com

Free utility site with membership features.

Trevorexter.com

Enter the Exter, decent blog site of a mellow cello fellow,
with the highlights done in yellow.

Rawkes.com

Design shop and blog home of Rob Hawkes - Web Designer and Mission Control.

Awesome random images load on the homepage, click refresh a few times to load some other backgrounds. I wonder if the designer has a print background, these beautiful webpage spreads could easily be published in high-gloss magazine layouts. I want to explore this site some more!

Oh this is swee-ee-t, the backgrounds are fixed in place while clicking a link slides the foreground content up and down via a new javascript library maybe.

I am loving this one! My only slight critique is I don’t see a link after visiting the page sections, to click to go back to the top menu.

This one appeals to my inner architect geek. Maybe it’s just because Mike Brady, the widowed architect of “The Brady Bunch” was just so cool? Lovely architect drawings and the graphic backgrounds & color scheme are a great design “blueprint” of understated design elegance.

Thanks for the write-up of welcomebrand and kind words Ty!

Just to answer your questions, I’ve got no print background at all, I just don’t like clutter on websites so I try to make the layouts as clean and minimal as possible.

The random backgrounds are via a simple css/php replacement script by a designer Dan Philibin here: http://danphilibin.com/short-and-sweet-randomness-and-css/

Thanks again for the link
