I'll second that! Doesn't matter that I won't get any votes - it's the taking part that counts! Right, now to hunt through and the painful process of figuring-out who to vote for! Good luck everyone.
:clapping:

Right, I went for Cabbagination coz I love the grass at the bottom! (oh, and it validates!)

Voted Cababge myself.

Wizely would have got it...your logo is quality! But your body text feels like its sitting in a sea of white space! Narrowing the width of the content white bg and you'd have a CSS Mania site easily.

Now you tell me! :acute: But it does say website of the month and not home page of the month! :pp
As the site grows the home page will be getting a 'sidebar' but for now the content gets the focus because if I can't draw people through to the rest of the site with my copy then I shouldn't be a copywriter! Looking at Google Analytics, the 'funnels' I've set-up are getting good 'conversion rates' so my subtle 'nudging' of visitors is working. I know we don't usually discuss what a site's supposed to do or look at the copy, but that's what my site is all about - I'm not selling design skills!
I'm just happy to have got on the shortlist - voted for Cabbage! :D

Wow! Some non-portfolio sites for a change - good work people. Still too many portfolio sites for my liking (that is my opinion like it or lump it). Maybe we should re-name the competition to "Portfolio Site of the Month"?

Anyway rant over, I like Wizely's effort. The whole site feels consistent and offers a clear message.

I think you must have a DNS issue, I can see the site fine. Try changing your DNS servers to those on openDNS (go to the site and follow the instructions). If it works then your ISP has a problem and you might like to let them know.

I'd just like to point-out that so many of you are breaking the rules of the competition:

Voting on Websites
1. You can vote on only 1 website per month. Choose wisely!

I'm willing to overlook the spelling error in my name, but it's a shame that so many of you have voted for other sites!!!! :rofl:
Thanks to those who have stuck to the rules!
