Each of your points here are really impressive and the sample designs you have used are professionally great. For me, I like Andrew’s design, it is simple yet catchy.

Each of the designs you discussed are a piece in themselves…every design imprints their beauty on the viewers’ mind and are the one which every viewer would like to admire… it’s difficult to choose but I really liked the Wufoo, Adiirockstar and the Squared eye design…

Wufoo is a GREAT design, even with so many colors it looks good. And their copy is also good the tagline explains what the site does and clearly highlights the benefits.

I am not sure I like the design for pixelight. Thanks for sharing these cool examples.

Great post. I absolutely love the site with the whale on it. Awesome looking and very easy on the eyes. Very clever wording throughout too :]

Good designs are tough to find. Designs should be such that they catch the eye of the visitor.

Sheer inspiration for a true designer…that’s what I would say at least! Wish I could have had one of those classy designs as a template of my site:)

It is necessary to make such an site which will attract many visitors and will force them to visit again and again. Nice post and I agree with “Match Tutor” that you do a lot of work on your post before putting them.

I am sure that this post is giving inspiration for many people. I do believe that the primary objective of design is communication…

Two thumbs up for you…!

All the themes are equally beautiful. I am finding it very difficult to choose the best one from this.

I have always been a firm believer of the quote “1st impression is the last impression”. This is very true in most cases. You need to present your site in such a manner that it will grab the attention of of the visitor and the visitor should feel not like leaving your site. For that you need not have a very designing site.. all you need is good content. just work hard and you will get it.

I completely agree with the aspect which relates to how many color schemes should be used when designing a web page. If you use more color combinations the attractions will be going down.

Like you said your site should do two things, give visitors what they want while upholding your goals. This seems easy, but it is much easier said than done. Nice article, regards!

The last design (the whale bit) is a bit cluttered and unintuitive, pleasant to the eye as it may be. Otherwise, this is a great writeup. I remembered lots of the tricks of the trade from back when I was a web designer :)

Great write up Charity! You listed some excellent points and lovely examples. I really admire the typographical hierarchy Envato created with the AppStorm site. It’s so easy to look at! Definitely something to strive for.
