For December 2008, we have decided to rap up the whole year of 2008 with extra prizes being given away for SOTM.

So, what’s in store you ask? Well, for the moment we’re keeping a lot of the prizes under raps, however let’s just say we’ll have MORE prizes, including some physical ones!

So, for December 2008 we have changed the schedule of our Site of the Month competition, as follows:

09 / 11 / 08 – Nominations START
30 / 11 / 08 – Nominations FINISH
02 / 12 / 08 – Votes START
20 / 12 / 08 – Votes FINISH
22 / 12 / 08 – Winner(s) Announced

Please vote in the poll for the winner of this month’s Site Of The Month competition! 🙂

Domains that were nominated however are not licensed were not added to this poll. If your nominated site does not appear in the poll, please contact MiCCAS for more information on resolving the problem.

Some great entries this month, and lots of them and all of a very high standard! Good luck to everyone.

BTW, I got the following error: “A username and password are being requested by http://www.geostonesolutions.com. The site says: “Restricted Area””

So I’m afraid geostonesolutions won’t be getting my vote! 😉

Shame that some of the nominations haven’t got their custom favicon’s sorted yet. Although this is only a a minor thing they always give me the feeling I’m on a quality site for some reason.

My Top five sites:

The Daily Avocado is a lovely looking site and a great use of the Telline II template. The only thing I don’t like are the way those dropline menus make the front page content bounce up and down! I read a fix for that somewhere on the forum.

Fun Express Games another excellent site. Lovely graphics and colours. My only gripe with this one is the colours in the logo don’t match anything else. I guess if that’s the client brief then not much can be done, it just spoilt the site for me.

Commercial Sinks. Mainly for the reason I imagine it must be incredibly difficult to build a good looking and functional site promoting the likes of stainless steel urinals! However, this hangs together nicely, lots of white space, crisp typography and obviously somebody is a Photoshop Wizard to do all those product cutouts!

Angel Trumpet Designs. Lovely site that does just what it should. Great use of graphics, colour and typography combined. Great work in self-promotion!

Pocket PC Dubai. Amazing use of the Telline II template. From the title of this site I expected Mesolite or something a bit more ‘techy’ straight out of the box, but this is just fine in Telline. I must figure out how to do that ‘Member Login’ thing at the top, it’s sooooo cool.

In the end, I voted for Angel Trumpet Designs as it just all hangs together so nicely! Shame we’re only allowed one vote.

Good luck everyone and please don’t take any of the above comments as criticism, they are all awesome sites and much better than I could ever create!

Chris

I just read the original post from Miccas above. It seems there are multiple prizes available this month. So hopefully more than one site will be recognised!

I have not voted yet, but while I was looking through I found I could not access http://www.geostonesolutions.com without a log-in password

I will leave it up for the time being, however if it is not accessible no-one is going to vote for it.
