A nice collection of sites there, but I have to go with Rob for such an epic and comprehensive design, I know it was months in the making, and it really shows.

Glad I didn't enter this month...

Only 5 entries this month? What happened??

Thanks for all the support and votes everyone! :blush1:

I've voted for Rachael because I just love the whole "no images" thing she's pulled off so well. It really shows what you can achieve with just CSS and HTML.

Kevin - just realised each refresh of your site loads up yet more work. Clever but if I hadn't refreshed I'd have thought you only had three items rather than a million in your portfolio.

You may like to let people know by say a click to see other work button?

Well just like headcoat - I never say who I voted for unless it' me. So I voted for Rawkes - even with all those graphics cluttering-up a perfectly good site!!!!! ;)

Well done Rob - it is an excellent site and, after all the blood, sweat and tears - I just don't have the heart not to vote for you (even if calmbanana is way better! :pp )

Gotta be Rob, by a mile. Sorry to the rest of you - they're all very good, but rawkes.com is very clean and crisp and yet still content-rich, and the rocket ships are really fun.

I'm so glad I didn't submit anything this month - I wouldn't want to be up against something like rawkes...

Not my style ... it has no footer navigation and he could work more on the graphics

Overall as I said earlier the website looks pretty cool ....

I voted for myself, because I don't want Rob's winning margin to be too huge. He'd never shut up about it. :pp

I love Rob's design more than creme eggs - and that's saying something - but if I didn't vote for Rachael she'd never speak to me again. :'(

But that's okay, I don't mind him winning. After all, being beaten by a GIRL would be a crush to any man's ego, right?

Holy crapola! I go to work for a day and this place explodes! I'm really humbled at how kind you are all being about Rawkes – It really makes the last 3 months of hard work feel worthwhile. I thank you all! :)

I'm not liking this giant ego-ness I've been attached to! :o *points at Rachael and Wizely* – you're just jealous! (j/k!!! :pp)

I tell you what, without meaning to be cliche. It doesn't matter if I win or lose (I've lost every time so far), it still feels just as exciting and nerve wracking! :wacko:

Ay Rob you'll win, it's great site with great copy (Wize!).

What amazed me was you drew those 'cartoons' yourself. 'Tis a skill not many web developers have being able to draw for themselves, I certainly can't.
