Casa Howard in Florence. Here's my advice. Use the whole screen. give yourself some space for all the links and navigation. It's just too complex for such a lot of stuff. Choose a grid and then stick to it. Rethink the typography. Done.

Le Telfair in Mauritius - for so esteemed a holiday resort, the website is not especially exciting. In design terms I find it "noisy". With words and images flashing on and off. It cannot decide what graphic language to use and so combines a number. I am always surprised how few designers seem willing to use CSS to moderates the otherwise harsh effect of screen fonts by rendering the text with more line space or better sizing. This site could do with a little more love and spirit to match the mood of the resort itself
