The following is a quick list of websites I reference often. It’s primarily for my own use, but feel free to browse if you’re interested.
Last Update: 5/30/2018
AfterNic – A great reference to see where domain prices are by recent sales comparison.
21st Centry Information Fluency – A cool Javascript hack to find out how recently a webpage was updated. Does not work on most sites.
CNN’s Sniffing And Seizing Interactive Article – Not quite as successful as ESPN’s. A good case study on how NOT to handle this new medium.
ESPN’s “Michael Jordan Has Not Left The Building” – It’s not a WhitePaper, it’s not an article. A very unique take on interactive online content, and something I’d like to do more often.
Graphic Guru – Example of everything you should NOT do on a home page.
JBN Associates – Another site I use to show what NOT to do. Check out the pancakes on their slideshow.
Jenny Marketing – A really nice layout for a flyer.
Poland Spring Facebook Post – I like how they handled this for user engagement, except for the link.
Redirection Best Practices – Good reference for redirects and their codes.
Search Marketing Services – Hey, a PDF with a call-to-action button. Nifty!
StylistPop’s Old 404 Page – A reminder that it doesn’t have to be bland and boring.

World Market’s Food & Drink Page – Hover over “View All Food” on the Food Box. This is a good way to pack more content on a page without compromising design.
YA Reading Flowchart – Great example of an interactive flowchart design.
Your Life On Earth (BBC) – A super cool, customized, interactive infographic that would take a ton of work, but is exactly the kind of content I recommend people invest in.
