ITT: Share Websites that are the Pinnacle of Sensible Web Design

In this thread we shall share websites (preferably those that are still around, but archives of dead ones are cool too) that represent real web design. Web pages that load in a couple of seconds or less. Websites that don't need a browser with html5 support. Websites that don't utilize tons of unnecessary javascript. Websites that aren't plugin'd out the asshole. We shall share gold standard websites, that all web devs should be looking up to as examples of perfection. I will start.

- toastytech.com/ (but the real meat is here: toastytech.com/guis/index.html)

- schooner.com/~loverso/ (this dude's a legit master)

- web.archive.org/web/20120527154432/http://www.nimh.org/ (probably the best ever)

- aramazd.firstcloudit.com/GSO/ (one of the best)

- briankimmel.com/Templates/GSW/ (another goodun)

- mattoates.co.uk/index.php (decent example of modern without being overwhelming)

why's it down?

bricklin.com/

Though the fixed-width is a bit of an issue.

probably because a few years ago he gave in and sold the domain name (NIMH stands for National Institute of Mental Health).

that's perfect right there. rivals john loverso's site.

If it isn't your homepage you're doing something wrong.

Political ideologies have really become a mental illness.

This is the alpha and the omega.

Why?

Scroll to the bottom.

I did.

penisland.com

a fucking lulztrain it just keeps on going

schneier.com/

i wish i knew how to put together a blog as clean as schneier, damn

how is this done? php?

Oh wow that is nice

look at the source code: view-source:schneier.com/

whatever's going on at the server end isn't going to show up in the html source

unless shit's being intentionally obfuscated, you can figure out whether it's using php or not.
