Showcase: JonnoRiekwel.nl

If there was a model site on complex simplicity, I think JonnoRiekwel.nl is that.

It’s a simple personal website, but it’s so pretty and usable and simple it’s painful to look at. Really.

The awesome simplicity of JonnoRiekwel.nl

I love the way mr. Riekwel has combined the latest posts from his blog, his latest work and some goodies at the same page, especially the way the blog posts are presented. I also love the abundance of white space (you can never have enough) and the subtle colour theme.

I’d prefer a bit more contrast for the font and comment form, but oh well. What do I know.

A lovely site, be sure to check it out. Plus, mr. Riekwel helped me solve a pesky CSS background bug in Safari.

Thanks!
