Amit Khera is a freelance professional from New Delhi, India. His creative comes mostly from nature, which you can see in his designs.

His own website is very simple, with a large tree on the right to picture his affinity with nature. On top of his content wrapper he made a few silhouettes of sheep and trees. Furthermore a very simple and effective portfolio.

Ecomoves consists of “environmentally responsible furniture removal specialists”, and is based the UK. Not a common sight, a website for such a hands-on company, but they made quite an impression.

The site is fresh and bright, with a lot of whitespace to create room. The delicate use of gradients in contents boxes, and well chosen colors make this design very appealing. Next to that they only used icons where appropiate to illustrate or strengthen their services. Very well done.

Chris K. Jennings works as a UI Designer and Developer at Scrapblog in Miami, and has setup his blog to write about his “adventures and achievements” in freelance development.

His blog looks very fresh, with the use of what I call “spring colors”; bright and happy. The navigation is setup with vertical tabs at the top, and make it easy to navigate through the site. Check out his website, he has a catchy writing style.

NewWorkCity.com.au is about Parramatta, the geographic, commercial and cultural capital of Western Sydney, Australia. The page is used to promote the employment opportunities over there, and let the people know more in general about Parramatta.

A sky-blue background, with several elements of our earthy planet create a vibrant picture. This image is the base of the entire website, and Flash takes care of the rest; animations between pages and content. The entire website is created in Flash, and creates a pretty solid multimedia experience.

A more classical design today: Bird-Malaysia.com. The site is developed by Stampede Design and is setup for bird watchers (or birders).

A big header with a quality photo is used to create a good impression. The rest of the site is well laid out, and gives a feel of luxury. The combination of gold letters on a dark green background contributes to this effect a lot. Also the effect of high quality images is very noticeable.
