List of websites and resources

Websites

 * BBC Front page
 * http://www.webking.com/
 * http://afg.biodiversity.aq/species/21-odontaster-validus
 * http://www.xero.com
 * Very nice, clean site. I think this is how we can do the user customisation: User selects a banner colour, which is then used for the page headers.
 * Nice use of pale grey for sections - maybe use for side column?

Nice UI Components

 * Neat looking CSS3 buttons
 * V. Cool Breadcrumbs
 * iPhone style switches
 * freeagentcentral.com Very nice integrated help system, slides down to give help per page. (Sign up for a demo a/c to see it).
 * Buttons and UI components
 * Refinery pages - Nice way of viewing a site map.
 * http://akquinet.github.com/jquery-toastmessage-plugin/ - Nice way of showing notifications.
 * http://cssgrid.net/ - Nice fixed/fluid width theme with support for mobiles.
 * http://graphicleftovers.com/graphic/vector-pointers-9067/ - Google map icons
 * http://annotum.org/about/ - Bibliographic entry tool for WordPress - worth looking at/copying - (Now irrelevant? Laurence livermore 15:36, 28 November 2011 (UTC))

Typography

 * http://colly.com/ && http://52weeksofux.com/ - I like the way these sites use serif fonts to give them a bookish, publication feel.
 * The site name top left should use google webfonts and be changeable. Maybe use the same font for page headers too?
