Best of CSS Design 2007

June 4th, 2011 by Novi | Posted under Article.

For those who don’t know, I’m also the guy behind Best Web Gallery and N.Design Studio. In 2006, I started Best Web Gallery as a gallery site where I feature the best CSS and Flash sites. I’m glad that I started the project because it gives me the opportunity to keep my design sense up-t0-the-trend. In the past year, I’ve seen a lot of sites from the submissions (some are great, some are horrible). As 2007 is wrapping up, I would like to share the best design sites with you. Here is a list of 50 websites hand-picked from Best Web Gallery — Best of CSS Design 2007.

  2. Hi there, I am a fellow internet marketer and stumbled upon your blog off a long-tail keyword search on yahoo. I notice your wp blog is relatively new and doesn’t have a good deal content yet. I want to give you a hand by suggesting something to you that has re-structured my whole SEO program. Have you heard of a plugin for wordpress called SEOPressor? If not, it’s definitely one of the most effective plugins around. It basically automates all your on-page SEO labor for you! I now have 14 of my wp blogs on the 1st page of google after only 1 month using this plugin! It’s really quite powerful. You can check it out here: SEOPressor

  3. I’d have to give the go-ahead with you one this subject. Which is not something I typically do! I really like reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!

  4. Hey, I can’t view your site properly within Opera, I actually hope you look into fixing this.
    My website is on Healthy recipes for weight loss.

  5. This page appears to get a large ammount of visitors. How do you get traffic to it? It offers a nice unique spin on things. I guess having something real or substantial to give info on is the most important thing.

  6. I’d have to go along with with you one this subject. Which is not something I usually do! I really like reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!

  7. Hello, kudos for the great piece of writing. In fact, just around 7 months ago I started using the web and became an internet user and came online for the first time, and there is certainly a great deal of junk out there. I love that you have produced excellent information that is clear and on the subject. I wish you all and cheers for the terrific hints.

  8. I was just searching for this information for a while. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your website. I wonder what’s the Google’s problem that does not rank this type of informative websites closer to the top. Usually the top web sites are full of garbage.

  9. i cant watch the show on the link!

  10. Rod I agree about these banks and these bogus bailouts given to companies that dont know how to run a business. Why reward failure? Its not like anybody did anything to them to make them sink the ship. They did it to themselves, with corporate greed, union greed, putting out a product that they knew was inferior because nobody cared about quality, just sucking out more money. So why does our government pay them billions for that kind of behavior? Its so wrong. Its just so wrong. They will be right back sinking again, because they allready are wanting to write bonuses and the unions are allready wanting more of the money. Throwing good money after bad. What a shame. But the dems had to make sure they bought some future votes didnt they? I mean look at all the votes they have been buying for this health care thing? Its fricking criminal. If some corporation did crap like this, theyd all be in jail. Its just criminal, but you know, you get what you pay for. When America put a criminal from Illinois in the White House, and he assembled his Chicago thugs around him, did you all really think it would be any different? Come on man. Gotta help a brother out. Its criminal, thats all I can say. Just plain criminal.

  11. It is usual for the kennel name to be in the registered name, this is how a pedigree is preserved, sort of like your own last name.

  12. Thankful recently i uncovered this excellent web site, One other good site is Dianabol will be sure to conserve this so i can browse often.

    I really have to take John up on this post as possibly being far |excessively heavy

  14. Jessica says:

    Howdy blogger, thank you for providing this article.. I found it first-class.

  15. I found your entry interesting do I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog and my seotons

  16. My good friend and I have been just discussing this subject, she actually is normally endeavouring to prove me incorrect! I will present her this particular blog post and rub it in a little!

Have any comments?
