Hey everyone, Friday Focus is back. I’m sure you’ve been hanging off the edge of your seat after dealing with a tough week without the focus last week. Well, no more worrying to do now. Hopefully everyone that was celebrating Thanksgiving last week enjoyed the holiday and any kind of vacation that may had have, but it is now time to get back to business. Let’s kick things off with three fresh sites.

Sites of the Week

First up is Beanstalk. This organic looking design features brown and light greens to create a simply fresh look for this hosted subversion tool.

Next up is Synergema. Another slick portfolio site, this one utilizing blues and greens, along with some snappy javascript to scroll between portfolio work. Plus, you have to give them points for that name.

And wrapping this week up is Come Home to a Tennessee Winter. Seeing how tomorrow is December 1st, I figured this was pretty appropriate. Falling snowflakes included.
