The latest web standards award has been given to “kevadamson.com” for it’s unique look and style.

It was a well placed comment left here on the WSA that led me to Kev Adamson’s site and I am glad I went, it is a visual treat. Amongst all the super slick and shiny sites of today, it’s nice to see something so effortlessly scruffy but oozing style and attention to detail nonetheless.

The designer’s philisophy

I work tirelessly to ensure all my work is resolved and considered in every way, as I believe in high standards. This way of applying myself not only satisfies my own creative needs but, more importantly ensures that you, the client, receive quality and a service that will aid long term success and prosperity.

Check out his “web”, “illustration”, “graphics” and “animation” pages as well. I like the way he present his works. The torn paper effect is kind of interesting isn’t it?

Over at Joshuaink, Mr Oxton has a list of 237 urls to check out for web standard compatible site. He’s starting a small game to seek out 5 best links from the list and will continue from there to get the best site.

Currently i’ve done browsing 177 sites and quite alot to go before I get favourite 5 sites listed. I found some good sites but they are already listed in some CSS Galleries and I guess better not list again. It’s kind of hard to choose from tens of good sites and I’m confused myself which to pick.

By this rate when I’m done, the game must be pretty much over. But it’s worth checking out those links because you’ll find lots of interesting sites that you never been before and got to know the design and standard compatibility aspect of those sites.

Oh yah there are rules to follow while you list yout sites, Mr Oxton is pretty strict with those. Just read his instructions there and have fun browsing.
