 Web Design
So I was on my other message board home ( http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com) which is a philadelphia eagles website ... someone asked for web design offers because they were starting up a web page ... anywhoo ... so someone replied with a link to a web design company.
The company linked to is a company that resides in PA (Bethel I believe) and does some amazing work, mostly based in flash.
Anyways I just wanted to A) show you the company because they really do an amazing job and B) ask if anyone has seen BETTER than this.
So ... lets hear it!

They do a good job, I have seen better though. I can provide links at a later time.
Their main site is aggrivating. I'm just trying to click through their portfolio and they have all this song garbage pop up. Not really efficient.
Alot of their stuff seems really sparce.
Oddly enough, their oldest portfolio piece is their best one.

Being someone who used to be into the graphic design community alot; i can safely say that ive seen better - but thats only because ive seen some mindblowing designs that have taken literally years to develop.
Beauty in design lies in simplicity. Im a horrible web coder, but i know my way around photoshop. Even then it can take a long time to get inspiration for a design.

I only posted it because ... I have never been more impressed by a web design company ... I am awaiting someone to post better thus far i have only heard these myths. [-(
It doesn't hurt that they are right outside where I grew up either :-$

Ok as i understand it, you seem to have some sort of affiliation with the link you provided? but you did ask if anyone had seen better, then you werent convinced, so i provided the links to websites which i consider to be better. Then you mentioned the site didnt even have a folio but denied Liquisofts abilities because he didnt have a web design folio? Rather just a folio of his [amazingly inventive] graphical work
Im confused as to what you want to see?
The dude who runs liquisoft.com is also the Creative Director of Deviantart.com - the worlds biggest artist resource. The old site [which i preferred] was one of the best damn websites in history and that dude is one of the leading designers out there, i used to be friends with the administrator of Yaxay.com and she was also very good at designing although she didnt spend much time on it - so id consider her to be a great designer too.
The "Norm" for webdesign sites these days is to create incredibly confusing and damn right frustrating ways to navigate around site and therefore when people find things they feel they have "achieved" something; therefore makes it a more positive and egoboosting experience.

The web is a mess ... thats why i was so impressed with Nurd ... they have a different look, and a much better portfolio than any of the origional looks you posted.
Grapical design was not what i was talking about ... thats why i discluded liquid ... making art is one thing... desiging an effective webpage a totally different thing.
I will look through the other links now.

and a simple clean site:

I dont know why you asked people to post if nothings going to change your mind? Ive given you work which i think exceeds that website by 100 miles.
Certainly a good design site with alot of skill; but there are better ones.

Flash websites overused, most websites don;t need, and when a site adds flash they add alot of stuff that is just irritating...I hate music on websites, absolutely grating.
