Layouts I Likes

More than anything, this post is a placeholder for webpage layouts that I like. Eventually I would like to register a domain and create a webpage. I don't know when I would find time to do this, but there's always hope. Maybe I can stop sleeping.

FIXPERT
I really like the bold distinct color on this one as well as the graphics. The fixpert logos are pretty unique. The layout is also very clean and it's easy to find the latest information.

NOWHERESKATEBOARDS
I love the opening page on nowhere. The flash intro's (on other sites) that take forever are really annoying, but the first image is quick and has some nice depth to it.

LATENCYPROJECT
I don't know if this is on purpose but the black and white on this page really makes the color fotos stand out. This guy seems to be pretty techie. I don't know anything about this guy except what you see on the page. The MTB accident is a bit of a downer.

CVILLEPODCAST
I don't really like this one very much at all. It's poor use of white space. Everything is legible, but nothing draws your eye. Everything just seems to float on the page.

HOMEPOKERTOURNEY
The information is presented well but there are too many ads and crap on the sides. The content is good, but that's about it.

If I ever get my page up and running, I hope to take a couple of elements from the good sites and avoid the problems that I see in the bad sites. I am sure this is going to take way more time than I have, especially since I am thinking of painting another room in my house and I haven't even finished the bathroom yet. It's almost done, but not quite. Gotta finish up the baseboard and figure out what to do with the floor.

If anyone has any input (with or without examples) feel free to post a reply.

Homepokertorney is in many ways a sucessful site. Good traffic, PR and ranks relatively good in SE. What I cant understand is why they have choosen to make money from selling adspace and links.Poker banners and affiliate links would probably make much more money.
