Rats Eskymo why did you have to enter :p

Well my vote was for Eskymo, as its silly to vote for yourself and lets face it Eskymos is the best site full of fun little easter eggs to find. Well thought out and wonderful to look at and she is gawd...I mean part of gawds :p.

Dizi - looks like we're head to head at the moment, but I did just vote for your site and so obviously knocked myself out of the lead without realising...not been on the forum for a while as I've been so busy and there's lots of new stuff...this voting thing is very exciting, not just because my sites invloved, but we're going to get to see lots of people's sites and see what everyone else does - I'm very nosey!

yup I agree, its very exciting and it will be fun to see sites that might have gone unnoticed (due to not wanting a review/placing them in sigs. I also like to see what other designers get up to :)

Robs site took ages to load on my PC.

I love Eskymo's site, but Dizi's wins it for me :) It's just so pretty and I have spent ages on it watching all the animations and stuff!

Why thank you! :blush1:

Sorry my site took long to load Eris, I think that is a problem with the server, rather than the code.

They're all beautiful but I keep going back to Eskymo's and Dizi's.

Eskymo's stylish site is hard to leave as she has so much to offer, all beautifully showcased; Dizi's is elegant and simple and pretty...

What a talented bunch of members we have!

Hey Guys, fyi, ignore the scrolling marquee on the page, it is horrendous! Must have been recently added by the client, when we finished it seems as though they tried adding a few updates. Sigh*

So modest too! ;)
I just voted for your site. Was briefly in two minds between you and Peartree, but yours is my favourite.
Bloomin' good web design and copywriting from a branch of design
