http://www.wbdesignideas.com/2008/12/10/22-most-inspiring-website-navigation-ideas/

After searching the internet, Wbdesignideas, stumbled across ours and has listed it as one of its favourites.

Described as breath-taking, unique and artistic.

Commenting on their quest, Wbdesignideas said: “Ahh, the beautiful navigation…

“Apart from being one of the most important technical elements of a website, website navigation can also be beautiful, pleasant to look at, sometimes even breathtaking.

“I dug through a lot of websites and picked out these 22 navigation designs that I find to be the most inspiring, whether is will be for the artistic expression, uniqueness or just a good idea.

“There are more brewing for later but here are the 22 that I have ready to drool over.”

Our logo also made it onto a recommended list of logos to inspire designers before getting stuck into a project.

Commenting on the project, Completephotoshop said: “After staring at the computer for hours and going through close to two hundred websites I picked out these awesome looking logos.

“This is a good list of logos to look through when you need to get inspired before working on a website logo project.”

We have joined a global fight for simplicity in web design.

Ben Hunt, of Scratch Media, launched his Save The Pixel campaign in a bid to help make websites more successful.

Ben decided to pursue his passion after making some shocking discoveries after he cut down on the heavy header on one of his sites and deleting some of the lines around the content area.

He found the average number of pages each visitor views rose from 2.17 to 2.39 in just three weeks – a 10% improvement.

The average time spent on the site increased from 2m 12s to 2m 22s in the same time period – up 4%.

And the number of visitors who returned to the site went up from 21.34% to 22.33% – up 4.6%.

To prove his point, he has published a book, Save The Pixel: The Art of Web Design, and is urging people to join his Pixel Liberation Front to let him know what measures are being taken to help his cause.

Our creative website impressed top designer Patrick O’Neil so much it now features in his latest book.

Patrick has spent the last few years scouring the internet’s abundance of websites in a bid to hunt out some of the best and inspiring designs out there.

After cataloguing more than 5,000 sites on his website Design Meltdown, he decided to showcase the cream of the crop in a book for other designers to take inspiration from.

And our workplace theme and carefully crafted design to make www.dpivision.com replicate a notice board scooped us a space in The Web Designer’s Idea Book.

Patrick said: “I like to think of this book as a snap shot in time. It captures the web as it exists in 2008, showcasing the very best we have to offer at this time.”

You can get your hands on a copy of The Web Designer’s Idea Book by visiting amazon.co.uk for £11.99.
