www.nondesigns.com
Nondesigns’s site has launched an online store for its table, lamp, and other product designs [RECORD, September 2006, page 173], all of which can be customized by the shopper right on the site. Information about the design firm and photo galleries of its work grow out of links like bean sprouts, so the site map looks like a plant when opened. It can be a jungle in there, but the site’s design successfully expresses the firm’s unique aesthetic.

The Chemical Fabrics and Film Association’s Vinyl Roofing Division site now includes an environmental benefits overview. The site’s teal and beige color scheme may not attest to vinyl’s tastefulness, but clearly organized information about tax deductions, government rebates and incentives, building energy codes, product rating systems, voluntary green building programs, and tools such as energy calculators, make this an exceptionally informative site.

www.mocoloco.com
Mocoloco is a modern contemporary design and architecture Web magazine featuring over 30 categories of designs, buildings, and products with editorial analysis. The Web site focuses on design in its well-edited content, but not in its layout, which reads like a blog. Each month, entries are discussed and illustrated in a vertical layout on a single page without a table of contents. Visitors post comments on individual designs.
