An Intresting Layout Concept from Design Commission

Last week, Blake showed me a really cool site from Design Com­mis­sion, an inter­ac­tive firm in Seat­tle. I’d never head of them before, but the con­cept their site is built around is so ele­gant and bal­anced, I thought it was worth shar­ing. The nav­i­ga­tion of the site floats above the bottom of every page, yet its really easy to use and never gets in the way. With the nav­i­ga­tion out of the way, the rest of the pages can be laid out more like a printed cat­a­log. Its  a nice con­cept that makes a great impres­sion. When­ever we take on a web project, its a strug­gle to deliver work that is func­tional and fresh. My hat’s off to anyone that can develop a truly unique direc­tion with­out com­pro­mis­ing func­tion. Their port­fo­lio of work is impres­sive too. Well done Design Commission!
