Styleboost
Showcasing outstanding websites since 2001.
Ever since first launched in January 2001, Styleboost has been all about showcasing the most beautiful sites on the web. Focusing on my own subjective experience and taste instead of trying to stay entirely objective has been an integral part of shaping Styleboost into what it is today. I started the project as a young student intent on learning as much as I could about good web design. It's been important from the very beginning not to specify the exact requirements of what it takes to be featured here. One site may be linked because of its usability, another because of its unique graphic style, and yet another because of its CSS trickery. This, in turn, has made Styleboost a quite different design community site. The fact that more than a few people around the world quickly took an interest into the project also made me take the time to expand it over the years. Today, there's a lot more functionality to the site, as well as the hundreds of links listed. I've also learnt very much from this process; improving my skills in coding and design, as well as seeing what the web truly can be.
The link database is updated regularly, usually several times every week. All links in the database are hand-picked by me. Therefore, every once in a while, there will be no updates for a week or two when I'm off on vacation, travelling the world or when I've had too many cocktails. You know, I do need to get away from my computer every once in a while. Still, Styleboost is all about good links, not lots of links. You'll find more links on Del.icio.us and Newstoday than you'll ever find here.
