The Design Gene is a new spot for creative minds to get a bit of inspiration, and promote their work and portfolio. The site is divided into three interconnected sections: The Design Gene (main showcase), Designer Showcase, and the Blog.

    The Design Gene (main showcase)

    The Design Gene’s main showcase is a compilation of outstanding website designs, and includes CSS sites, flash sites, and blogs. Anyone can submit a design, but please note there are some criteria for acceptance, albeit, rather loose criteria. Basically we’re looking for awesome websites of any type. The look of the website is of course the first thing considered. Minimal, grunge, vintage, cartoon, corporate…. any and and all styles are considered. Although we will not validate your code, we encourage you to only submit websites created using w3 standards and that have been cross-browser tested. We use Firefox and generally will check each site in IE as well.

    What’s Not Accepted
    Plaigerized websites, obscene material, and adult content sites will not be considered. Incomplete websites, those with poorly written CSS or XHTML, and those that have significant cross-browser issues will not be accepted.

    All websites accepted to the Designer Showcase will also appear in The Design Gene’s main showcase, and vice versa.

    Designer Showcase

    The Designer Showcase is an extension of The Design Gene’s main showcase. The Designer Showcase is only for design studios, freelancers, graphic artists, etc. We noticed that the majority of submissions we receive to The Design Gene were web studios and freelance portfolios. Posts in The Designer Showcase include more information than those listed only in The Design Gene’s main showcase. Designer listings include location, phone, email address (optional), telephone, and a pretty big blurb about each designer or company. The Designer Showcase was created as a tool for both clients and designers. Potential clients have a place to easily browse the best web designers from around the world, and designers gain a bit of advertising space and social networking.

    Anyone can submit a site to the Designer Showcase as well, but please only submit design studios, graphic design companies, and freelance portfolios. All websites accepted to the Designer Showcase will also appear in The Design Gene’s main showcase, and vice versa.
