Carsonified have recognized Vimeo’s flair in web design and have just asked them to speak at the Future of Web Design Conference in New York in November.

Vimeo say they will be “…dispelling the wisdom and secrets of how we design with ideas of cultivating community and the nuances involved.”

Carsonified is giving away a free ticket to this event, all you need to do is enter a video into their ‘Future of The Web’ Competition by 1PM GMT on Thursday (Nov 12th). Click Here for more details!

With oportunities for new website applications constantly arising, the number of them continues to increase each day. Some have okay design, but some have great design and entice you further. Design is very important when it comes to web applications. You may have a great, functioning application that is great with orgainsing and pattern searching but if that submit button is too small or in the wrong place the whole website can be a failure. The following websites below have very little if not nothing out of place. The design does not confront the user but instead welcomes them and simplifies the user’s experience.
