Sick of Whizbang’s 2004 Design Awards sham? Want to see some real design work? Look no farther than Chris Davis, who highlights 8 hot sites. Since he’s got no screenshots, allow me:

Michael Heilemann (14):

Ryan Sims (14):

Shaun Inman (6):

Jon Hicks (5):

Cameron Moll (3):

Dunstan Orchard (2):

Ryan Keberly (2):

Jeremy Hedley (2):

My only complaint about all these sites is that they’re old. Where are some new contenders?

   Yeah, you’re right. The Snowsuit Effort only goes back to April 2004, which is pretty young compared to most of them. Of course, I only started … a few months ago.

   Thanks for the mention! I did not provide screenshots hoping to drive people to the individual sites, but you are right it is nice to have them here so you can see them all in a single glance.

   As for them all being old, I think that The Snowsuit Effort is fairly young as sites go.

   Thanks again.

   Well, form still follows function, and for a timebased blog there are only a few practical variations that work. So no surprise they all look the same.

   My god when you see thumbnails of them they really do look all the same, huh?
