Happy New Year, dear Devloungers! For our first Friday Focus of 2009, I have one-page websites that are impeccable not only in their design detail, but also in their presentation. They’re answers to the question “why make Flash sites when you can have these?” and Jason Santa Maria’s challenge to us to add art direction in our websites. And these are some of the best sites I’ve seen.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas celebration! This Friday we’re going to look at whimsical, chaotic, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink headers that will certainly grab your attention.

Christmas is less than a week away, so let’s stick to that theme on this week’s Friday Focus. Happy Holidays everyone!

This week’s Friday Focus feature sites that don’t only looks great, but tell you how to build great-looking websites as well!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Hope you aren’t too stuffed yet, ’cause we have huge backgrounds on this week’s Friday Focus.

Focus is one of the most important aspects of design—you need to tell the audience which elements are important and which aren’t. This week’s featured sites execute this idea well, and even take it to the next level. See if these designs don’t grab your attention at all!

Our featured sites this week all have fresh and brilliant navigation techniques you’ll surely envy. Be sure to click on the links to see them in action. Ready to be inspired with this week’s Friday Focus?
