Inspirational Websites and Portfolios

Postby Doodie on 17 Jan 2007 08:37 pm

I'd like to build a catalog on shodown of all the sites that really inspire us. Mostly because I'm curious about what you guys look at... partially because i just stumbled upon (har) some crazy shit. More importantly because I always forget these awesome places when I find them in class or away from my personal computer.

Posting web portals are cool, too. I visit netdiver.net and webcreme.com, personally, but they don't always do it for me.

http://www.sectionseven.com/

I'll add more websites as I find em. Contribute!

Mine seem to be all about web standards. (What can I say? A well-formed stylesheet and XHTML Strict get me hot.)

Yeah, use Lunarpages :elehump: :rolleyes: They just bumped out space up to 250 gigs, and 2500 gigs transfer for $6.95/mo. Plus a free domain name. And fancy coats :(

[spoiler]They have a referral program. Eh heh.[/spoiler]

But I think someone on shodown supported MediaTemple because it has some feature... SSL? I can't remember. Plus anyone who's anyone apparently uses it.

Ugh. This guy's 17. I hate it when that happens.

Small world. One of the guys he collaborates with (David) is a buddy of mine from high school.
