Today’s post highlights the design of MerieBeetge.com. Heavy usage of narrow font faces, bold splashes of solid bright red color across the color steel blue background and an oversized collage of portfolio highlights directly below the navigation menu work well together to create a memorable first impression. The site features attractive transition effects across the different pages (play with the slideshow in the Project section) and consistent theming of icons.

However, it can certainly use more polish in kerning the main logo text, rollover effects over the header / footer icons and the overall appearance of the main “View projects” action button in the portfolio section on the main page.
