It’s been quiet over the last few days on the blog for the simple reason that I was in holidays. So let’s brings things back and start with our winner of the week.

I have chosen Cow&Monkey mainly for the attractive and unusual design they came up with. I love the simply cow! The colour are mixing well: grey background, a touch of purple and white text. I also like the way the site is layed out. Simple but it works for me.

Every clickable things have a hover state which is always good for accessibility. I regret that the site is not finished yet. 99% of the links are just # anchor certainly waiting for the page to be created.

Code wise it is xhtml strict valid with 3 little warning. Please never forget to encode your “&” with “&”! I also don’t understand the use of

rather than the normal link tag. Am I missing something here that I should know about? Anyway conditional comment to bend ie6 and comment in the html to separate the different parts. They even use  the <address> tag that everyone should use.

Go finish this and it’s gonna be a very nice portfolio!
