  1. I just wanna ask/discuss , is those effect need to create one by one? for example, if a website has 10 difference custom animate effect, we need to write each one by one? which mean if we wanna make and sell as template(just wanna ask, not plan to rip-off or whatsoever), that mean our buyer will have hard to to tweak the effect/layout of the template?

    and how about the responsive, just disable if view on iphone? and how those effect look on 27inch imac, i use my macbook to make it small with pinch out the screen, it look weird thought.

  2. Lotta Nieminen makes “flipping” through her portfolio a clean dream! I love the idea of using effects in minimal design; surprising and fresh.

    Thanks for the round up,

  3. Nice to see some unique ideas that SPACHO site is pretty neat, love the scrolling effect on the bottle.

  4. It really was a very inspirational post. I was looking for such web Design. As i’m a new designer and i keep searching for help. Thanks for sharing

  5. I’d love to see a tutorial here on how to create the kind of single-page layout Joint is using, so I wouldn’t feel guilty about doing something just like it…

  6. Awesome collection of new tech websites with good graphics and animation combination.

  7. How to design such interactive themes i am just started web designing what should i learn to develop sites like this !!! HELP SOMEONE !!!

  8. Great designs, seems scrolling is hot topic for a while now. Most visually intressting is SPACHO for sure. The Scroll/Rotating bottle is pretty genius, fresh colors and looks like a great advertisement. The best and clear portfolio presentation I’d say Adam Couloumbe. The most funny and daring is Joint with their ‘joints’ all over the world, I wish them the best of luck.

    Others like Babel and Skype should also be mentioned for design and atmosphere. Great list, but these are my picks.

  9. Amazing. Thanks for this collection. Rule of three shows how beautiful a design concept can be — without color and without photography! Truly amazing!
