Beautiful, Clean Website with Great Photos for learnaboutwine.com

I bookmarked this site a long time ago for its' nice design, and every time I design a new website, I check out all my bookmarked sites for inspiration. This is a beautiful website. Although a lot of my sites have colored backgrounds, a white background is very dramatic. This is a striking website where all the soft colors work. I like the border around the site and the colored buttons of country blue. I'm not crazy about the page indicator color of bright yellow, but the pale yellow under the top nav bar is very nice.

The photos in this website are great and are the most important part of the visual beauty of this site. The bold, dark burgandys, greens, browns, golds, purples, and blues anchored to the left in the excellent feathered photos give this site an authoritative and polished look.

There's not much content on the pages - maybe they were trying to keep it short for the neat look - but the site would work even if the pages were longer.

Happy New Year everybody! One of my New Year's resolutions is to blog more often about great designs. If you've visited a website that you thought was really nice, send me an email at risa-at-rb3webdesign.com for consideration. Or if you've designed a site and want feedback, with some usability and SEO advice tossed in, send it to me, as well.

I wish everyone a great 2007.
