Let me see your favorite Web sites!

Hello All,

I started designing my new site in Photoshop last night, but then I showed it to my boyfriend and he hated it. He is going to do the CSS and HTML bit, so I have to design it in a way that is easier to convert.

Anyway, I read a lot of blogs and Web sites about Web design, but I just want to get a feel for what real people think about Web design and not those graphic artists.

Please share with me some of your favorite Web sites (no blogs please) in terms of design, not content. They can be dance related or not. Also, you can share yours if you want to! ..g.:

Forever learning,
Andalee

Michelle Joyce has a kick butt site. Professional Belly Dancer - Michelle Joyce - arabic dance

I find this one amusing and visually interesting...
Vincent C, Magician

I designed this one as a first attempt using a wysiwyg editor (instead of doing the HTML myself):
LA Raqs - Los Angeles Belly Dance

I also did Bellydance by Nasila ~ Los Angeles Belly Dancer just so I could have something to put on my biz cards.

I love all of Michelle Joyce's stuff though...thinking about asking hubby for a new website for my birthday! ;)

I'll post a mock-up of mine soon for critique.

Take away all the crazy fonts and text sizes and this would be a glorious web site: Jaida Dance | Professional Bellydance Artist

asharah: modern tribal bellydance

[shems]

clean and simple:
Hathor Egyptian Dance Collective - Home

I love Sandra's website...also Michelle's is great and so is the ones she made..
Mine was a product of patience and long discussions with my husband which is an arquitect and loves minimalistic stuff...but I am a belly dancer so it was hard to come up with something clean and pretty...here is what we got

in the end my lesson is that I need to get a graphic designer!
