I’m honored :) Thanks for including Recurse on this list. I can’t believe it’s being shown next to all these other amazing designs.

Boring! (sorry)
There are 3 (max) different layouts above.
I think the new Getsatisfaction.com is a cool way to elaborate over that seemingly preferred layout you show in 30 shots above.

ultimately… they work though… better than most others. A lot of times at my own job my boss has wanted a particular layout for about the last 10 sales websites that I’ve made because they convert better than any others tested.

Yeah exactly.
So good web design is here defined by usability and conversion rates, not beauty. I only oppose the term “beautiful” because they are more “effective” – and I really like’em for that. Good work.

I can’t believe QuoteRobot is next to Mailchimp and Postmark, both beautiful. Thanks a bunch for including us.

So sad several off these are horrid stock templates that appear to have “minorly” decorated . These kind of things need to be curated better.

Where can I get a web app designer for my East African startup web app. We do not yet have such clean, “call to action” web app UI’s in Uganda yet! Besides, it is unaffordable in any case :(
