Quality keeps getting better each month! I won't say who I voted for, but I was very "Wize" with my choice ;)

I liked PeterPearson and Gizmo's sites, but slight usability annoyances with the navigation swayed my decision towards wizely's site, which, overall, I feel is more complete. Well done all!

For me it was close between Peter Pearson and Wizely, out of all of them, they were the only two (of the ones that I liked) that validated properly, so the reason I was swayed towards Wizely was because of the simplicity and therefore the usability of it. The PeterPearson site looks fantastic, and is an amazing website, but I had to choose between the two, and for me function over form is key.

That and the picture of the little girl is really enchanting.

I got it down to Wizely, Peter Pearson, and gman89.... but Wizely just won out, alot of information on the site, but really well presented and thoughtfully laid out, cracking job.

Great sites all.

Good work everyone :)

I went for PeterPearson's design as it's different. Still though, there's some other very good design's there that made it very hard to choose.

Although Peter's was very impressive, I chose Jamesicon's EH Joinery, for it's super-clean layout.

Some of those designs are really impressive.

I know this isn't a review-me thread, but J5-Payne the site is lovely but the home page copy really needs to be looked at! I thought it was better that someone said something... else it's rude like when you've got something stuck between your teeth and no-one bothers to tell you! ;)

PeterPearson for me - not got a lot of time today so with a just a quick looks through that one stoof out the most for me - I like the clever use of [what I presume are] transparent images to create the effect of the moving swirls - nice and simple but very effective.

Good standard all round though.

Step away from the "Edit" Button Sir Wizely! - We all know what happens when you do! - this time you may well end up removing the forum completely!

Didn't take much for Jamesicon to get my vote. Clearly has a good design and layout for purpose plus it works well and has good content. Liked some aspects of Peterpearsons but it lacked clear navigation and had me feeling lost in a site that wasn't self-evident. Horizontal scrolling is too alien on the web, people are used to scrolling up and down; side to side just feels wrong.


Special mention for Gizmo's short 'life on a leash' vid. It brought a tear to my eye, poor little fella. ^_^
