Galan Design & Multimedia’s website has a very clean, awesome looking header and footer design. Some chrome, some carbon fiber and glossy navigation buttons, looks almost like a luxury car. Very beautiful.

I like this header, looks like an overlay of photograph strips. It’s clean and neat.

This header and navigation definitely deserve an award of some kind. The shades of gray with a small splash of color. Well balanced design. I like the lighting effects and the 3D look. The navigation icons look great in gray scale and then if you mouse over the buttons they become color. Very clean and simple. Great job!

Gianmarco submitted this site to be reviewed by us this morning. I get many of these submissions but only a few are good enough to feature here. I look for excellent design, a lot of sites that are submitted lack that hook, that little extra that makes the website stand out from the crowd.
This one is awesome, I actually already featured it in another article I did on Squidoo, 32 Website Header Designs For Inspiration and here it is again on WDI. I really like the brick and cement background, obviously I like the header, the logo, I like the navigation - the font style used works well with the design. I like the graffiti and paint splats. Just good design in general.
Thank you Gianmarco for submitting your website.

I stumbled across Truebluetitan.com today and thought it deserved mention. I like several things about this site’s layout and design:
1. Color combination. I like the dark brown and silvers that are on the page. I also like the texture of the brown. It has a leather like quality to it. Er, wait…is that naugahyde? Whether it’s leather, naugahyde, or pleather, it’s a nice look.
2. I like the logo alot too. It’s a titan…no getting around it. It’s also got a crest like style and aviation type theme to it, which sets it apart as well.
3. Very simple navigation. 3 tabs…perfect. Simplistic, yet comprehensive in scope.
I think there are some simple points in this design that can lend itself to creativity and ’spark’ for new designs when they come up with new clients. Check it out and let me know what you think of the site too.

I also noticed this set of buttons. I had to add them to my collection. Very nicely done. Sleak design.

This site has a very unique layout design. It may not necessarily be the best in my opinion but it does start the creative engine and does inspire to make something better from it.
What I am talking about specifically is how the page pops off the background, like it’s hovering in the air. If I am not mistaken it must be the slightly blurred photo of the fence in the background. Had the designer picked a better photo to use for the background, this site may have looked A LOT better. Having said that, I applaud him for trying something different.

This is a nice dark-blue background pattern that would make a lighter shade page stand out. I also adjusted the contrast and brightness on it for the second version you can see bellow.
