I'm looking for leads on what people think are good looking, super functional websites. I'm not talking about content but more set up and aesthetic qualities.

Thanks!

There is this one site(I'm searching for it now) where they took a whole bunch of pictures of a shutdown hospital. creepy but cool.

EDIT:

hospital.apoka.com/

[url]http://www.airside.co.uk/flash.html[/url] is another good website, i think. both of these i've posted are fairly easy to use also.

fino, that is a pretty cool site, old buildings like that make for great photography.

airside does computer design, and they have on their site a list of links and such to other websites they've done.

pretty nice stuff. a lot of them are like snuffy's link, a lot of java used in these, must me the favored means of web design anymore.

Seriously, take a good hard look at [URL=http://www.google.com]this[/URL] one.

A whole different approach to web-design and one of the most popular sites on the whole net.

These are all awesome links, thanks everyone. Some very cool stuff out there. Personally I don't like a lot of movement on a website. I tend to like graphics and muted or dark colors.

I'm going to be learning Dreamweaver (thanks in advance Sparq!) and I wanted to get a sense of what people are drawn to so I can futz around and maybe build a site.

I think my fave so far that I found through Sparq's CSS link is this one:

[url]http://csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/094/094.css&page=0[/url]

Not so much the coloring but the conception. I like the way it had that building looming up instead of a header. Its very simple and spare and relies on color and contrast.

That hospital one is great fino, very stark photos.
