IndyaFusion

The is one of the coolest restaurants I have seen. The way the menus zoom in and out is very captivating and normally it would have been a very cheesy effect, but this looks really classy. The layout of the site is excellent. I like how the entire site just has one background color, but the placement of the spices, adds that extra flavor.

There are a couple of disadvantages to having a flash site though, especially with it being search engine friendly and things like that. I also don't like the pre-loader that they have on the website. It looks very simple and out of place.

Overall I think the website is very strong, at least as far as design goes.

Priceline

The first thing that caught my attention was the center alignment of the website. It is probably the first question I ask about a website, is it center aligned or left aligned. All the other travel websites I visited were left aligned, whereas this site stood out from the crowd. Now obviously, if I was looking for a cheap ticket it wouldn't matter but nevertheless the site looks better in the center.

The site is well arranged with the three levels of navigation, and the ease of use. It doesn't look cluttered and doesn't seem to have bother with beautiful location images to lure customers in. Unfortunately I can't say anything good about William Shatner's face being there.

That being said, I did notice a glitch on the site. Now I don't know if this was intentional or not, but the text seems to be flickering on and off every few sec. Now I am looking at this on a Firefox browser and I do wonder if it has anything to do with that. Maybe its to get the viewers attraction, but I have had the same problem with a site that I built where the CSS and image rollovers seem to have been clashing. Other than that, this is a well designed site.

Museum of Contemporary Art
Sydney Australia

This site boasts a very unique navigation style. I must add, I have never seen this done before. I think the navigation alone simply captures the essence of contemporary design. I have been impressed with a lot of Australian site designs now. They are getting very unique and surprisingly US based website lack the uniqueness aspect. Everyone seems to be interested in the grunge side of web design.

Each menu has a unique color theme to it, and everything, even the logo changes colors when its on that page or on rollover. the design of the site is very well planned for information overload. The busiest pages on the site look very well spaced out. I also love their consistency, especially with using people as a divider between information in the body content itself. Overall this is a fantastic site. The only thing I would have loved to see was a corner showing images of contemporary design featured at the museum.
