We are pleased to announce that the website we built for musician Mina Chang (minachang.com) has been nominated for Site of the Year at CSS Creme. The site was built entirely in WordPress and was a last-second project, so that makes us extra happy that it’s getting the great responses from the design community.

Oh, and, of course, be sure to support us and cast your vote!

Of course, there are inspirational design galleries online. But I’ve found that when I am designing for one medium, it is more useful to look at inspiration in other mediums. For example, if one is designing a website, it would be more beneficial to go outside for a walk, or go to an art museum, than to look at a website design gallery.

It’s one thing for us to say that we make beautiful websites that our clients fall in love with, but it’s another thing entirely when we get to hear other people say it. Of course, it’s not always so easy to pass that along to our readers – however, today we have had the honor of receiving a fantastic design critique from wecritiquedesigns.com.

We’ve been listed on several design galleries (such as thebestdesigns.com and cssheaven.com) and even favorited on many, featured on some, and chosen as an “editor’s pick” on w3csites.com (a site that only accepts your design if all of your files validate completely). We were even featured in an article about lighting effects on Smashing Magazine, which was pretty exciting in and of itself.

But none have brought me the sheer joy that this review brought me. It is expertly written and just to see that people really do “get” the design and why it is the way it is, well, that just makes all of the hard work worth it.

The Camp Creative Group are a design agency who live by the moto “Fall in love with your design” and it is their very own website that I have fallen in love with.

We normally don’t give things away for free, so when we do, it’s probably a good idea to jump on it! We’ve created seventeen iPhone backgrounds for you to use. A couple of them are art created by us, while others are photos from various places, including Hawaii. All rights to the images belong to the photographer: myself. Feel free to download them for your iPhone or iPod touch! Read the rest of this entry »
