MailChimp – Usability at its very best

With it’s funky post monkey mascot, the MailChimp website puts a smile on your face whenever you visit.

Not only do MailChimp paint a pretty picture but their website and online service is one of the easiest and best I have used.  The front of house design is simple, informational and markets the service clearly to encourage sign up (not just because it is free!).

Once signed up, MailChimp’s user interface guides you through every step of the process so well I could hardly fault it.

It really does lead the way in web application interface design and worth a look if you’re a web designer.

Proving Brown works on screen

My first impression when I think of brown as a primary website colour is… “Er, that is going to be a bit drab”. Noe Design Studio have fired some life back into the earthy colour for me though.

I love the simplicity of the website design with the menu and sprectrum cloud in the header.

I bookmarked this Warren Buckley’s website a while back and have been back various times for inspiration.  I think the more organic photo background websites are becoming alot more popular.  Just bring on the death of IE6 so we can have transparency in comfort.
