This week I have been surfing around CSS Design Awards, Awwwards and the Best Design. There were  many interesting webpages to choose from and just to choose five is a tough choice.

CSS Design Awards –

1) Cardboard

www.lovethestuff.com/

Cardboard is a Creative agency based in the UK and Australia, their clients consist of “Universal Studio”, “Red Bull” & “Warner Brothers” etc. The reason that I have liked this website is because it relays more on big pictures to convey the message rather then just boring texts.  The site is also responsive, it looks great on my mobile. This site was the winner for the CSS Awards on the 15thMarch 2013

2) The Ballooner

d.ballooner.com.hk/

The Ballooner is a Hong Kong based website, it was CSS Award winner on 2ndMarch 2013, the site is designed by Cyan Cheung. The theme for the website is based on his dream, I really liked his artistic concept and the way he brought it out on his site. The site is as cool on the mobile as it is on the computer.  To be honest the site really looks good but I really don’t know what is it about!
