simple websites to show my boss this afternoon

leander

So, I would like to get a website up and running. I am proposing this to a small one man firm.

Any examples I can show him of simple architectural websites? Everything I check out is either overcooked or just ugly.

Thanks!

I just don't get the fact that you have a boss and its supposedly a one-man practice.

i like yours better too, ulterior. much more simple.

the boyd cody website automatically maximized my browser window. i can't express how much i DESPISE that. if your website automatically resizes my browser window, i automatically close that browser window without even looking at your website.

i didn't know buildingstudio was in n.o. now. do they still have a memphis office?

their website menu is kind of annoying. i make a choice and have to make ANOTHER choice before i get somewhere.

i actually like the vanilla-ness of the klein-dytham site. it's one of the more simple here. most posted i woudn't call 'simple'.

i like the building studio one, just for its use of the animation and loading affects that are normally associated with flash. the lack of contrast is horrible though.

however the klein dytham only works at quite large resolutions, which can be quite a bad move....it could probably be easily remedied though, reduce the text space somewhat.
