Please post links to some nice looking sites that don't use flash or anything like that... I am just trying to get inspired!
 
http://www.macrabbit.com/ is a nice, clean site. I really like their design (and software).

http://www.paularms.com/ is, oh wow! He redesigned, what the h*ll! I was shocked to see a redesign Paul, but it looks fabulous!

I'd like to throw in my site just for kicks, it's in my sig and is going to be slightly modified in a little under two weeks.

http://www.alistapart.com/ not only for their articles, but I do like their design.

The CSS Zen Garden (http://www.csszengarden.com/) has some pretty cool designs, take a look over there.

I think that's all for now, I'll post more when I find them.

I designed the following site for a friend of mine who runs a corporate promotional merchandise business and wanted a site to help her - in her own words - "stand out from the crowd".

I used Photoshop, spliced up and optimised in ImageReady and then coded in Dreamweaver.

PS: I'm not a professional by any means, but I'm pleased with the end result and my friend has had a lot of positive feedback since the site was relaunched.

A few sites that I really like...

Yea, the site looks amazing! It's really simple and easy to navigate. I'm kinda new to CSS scripts and what-not, and I have a question about your site. I have dial-up, so I get the privilege of watching everything load one piece at a time. :D I saw how that blue/white/blue background loaded under the text... How exactly did you get that to work? I really like it.

Mine's not too bad... Is it? :eek: :rolleyes:

Shameless plug? ;) It looks pretty good, although if I could suggest.. maybe adjust the contrast and brightness of the background image to make the text more visible. Also I noticed the ad on the forum page is quite intrusive, might want to check that out. Otherwise, looks good!

Martagnan

I second the kudos on your redesign, it looks much much better (not that the old one was bad, it was good too). The redesign looks ten fold better, and much more professional. Nice Work!

The other link you had for Martagnan looks great as well. One of these days I'll get my portfolio site finished and post a critique thread. Right now I'm just using my domain for testing, but hope to change that one of these days, time allowing...

Another site I really like is http://evolt.org/ very clean and easily navigable, plus it's got a ton of great info. Although it used to have much more frequent contributions.

If anyone has some good links to Flash based sites I'd be interested to see, as this is something I'm looking to get into.

I'm assuming that it loaded that way because everything is using background images and images just take longer to load than the text.
