A Perfect Design is Unobtrusive
The goal of the designer is to be unremarkable. And the better you are at design, the more unremarkable you become. The perfect designer then, doesn’t exist.
The perfect web design is simply a structure that has been developed so that the consumer can absorb a message or complete a task as quickly and as painlessly as possible. If the consumer is focused on the design or development of a site, then attention is drawn away from that core task or message.
When your target audience is caught up on the content of your website — the design does not exist at all, or is invisible — and, in turn, the web designer and any trace of his work ceases to exist.
A perfect design (just like a good JavaScript script) is unobtrusive.

Inspiration: McKinney.com
I love the feature top slot of this site. The peel back of the logo is a nice touch. The search button is very new...well, because search is overrated.

Badass Wireframing tools that you never thought of using.
The first thing I think about when sketching a website out is pen and paper. Second thing that come to my mind is Photoshop.
Well, forget those, try these tools when building wireframes.
Keynote. Yup, our sweet and awesome Powerpoint software from Apple is your best bud when it come to wireframing. Many designers are moving over to Keynotes as a tool for developing wireframe because of it ease of use and animation "engine". Go here to download the kit to get you started.
Illustrator. This one is a bit wierd. I am not very fast in Illustrator, so this is probably not my choice of medium for wireframing just because wireframing require you to instantly put your ide on paper to get it out of your head...so, your milage may vary. Go here to get you a sweet starting point.
