Review:

Ok, I know it's been around for a while but never featured in this gallery, so here we go. The Coudal Partners site is a visually pleasing and informative web presence, and their work is a true inspiration. The header is big, the layout is wider than 800 users can see and the code is quite far from valid, but the layout and use of white space is great and the site gives a solid impression of knowledge and strong design skills. I love the large bold times headers and the newspaper feel it gives to the column. Also, be aware of color scheme changes in the future as the site gets new header images.

The pitty is it doesn¥t validate.

Validation isn't everything, especially when you have a sleek looking site such as this.

I can't say I'm a fan of the way the columns just stop though.

This is a truly beautiful website. Seriously, validation police, take another look at the balance, hierarchy & typography of this website, and you may glimpse that there are some things more important than missing &amps.

Truly inspirational, 10

I agree completely with Steve, this is one of the best sites online right now (and for our industry). Period.

Fab site - Undeniably.Code is clean.Known for some time now though. Still, it works for me. To be critical, You must Look deeper. Errors in validatiion.Good semantics. Also Like the images. A worthy inclusion.

It is so refreshing to see a good, standards compliant site that doesn't look like all of the others. To my mind, it is one of the best looking sites on the net. The fact that it doesn't validate is minor issue that could probably be rectified quite easily.

The more and more I view this site, the more I fall in love. It's like a newspaper. And who dares use Times anymore? These guys did. The one complaint I'm starting to have is I wish all the column lines extended all the way down to the end of the page, not just the longest column.

Also, my home town made a cameo on the site :). Chalk another one up for Door County, WI.

Validate-Shmalidate. Coudal is beating the pants off of pretty much every other site like it on the web. Yay for them.

I'm a big fan of whitespace and minimal color pallettes, so these guys won me over as soon as the page loaded!

The horizontal scrolling at 858pixels was a little disappointing, but just look at that quality layout! A top-notch broadsheet style any publisher would be proud of!
