Every Monday, the StrategiQ Team make their picks as to their top 5 favourite websites of the week.

And the winners are…

1. Tim Collins

This week’s Web Top 5 winner is photography portfolio website, Tim Collins. A website which is characterised by its heavy usage of imagery, Tim Collins remains on trend throughout the entirety of the site. With a strong, someone ‘hipster’ persona running throughout the website, the site makes bold choices in terms of colour scheme, whilst the barber theme is consistent throughout the website. The blog content itself is extremely interesting and has a personal feel, whilst being typically characterised by the high-quality imagery from each shoot.

2. Hunter Boots

Second on the Web Top 5 this week is another image-heavy site by Hunter Boots. Characterised by a tiled layout with high-quality imagery throughout, the site foregrounds its products with confidence. Overflowing with festive cheer, the site is a perfect example of a Christmas website. Colourful, vibrant and upmarket, the website is a wonderful advert for what is an excellent Christmas present. The use of video also helps to add to the site’s vibrancy.

3. Quay

Third in this week’s Web Top 5 is the website, Quay. This website is clearly built for modern and discerning food connoisseur. The site’s imagery is an attack on the senses, appealing to the tastes of its audience, whilst the layout and fonts are clean and crisp throughout the site. It’s a simple user journey and muted colour palette are also important staples behind what is a well-crafted site.

4. Hotel Chocolat

The fourth site on the Web Top 5 is Hotel Chocolat. A well organised site, the website employs a very classy, high end persona, playing to the chocolate lover in us all. The checkout experience of the website is also key to ensuring a really great e-commerce site and buyers will want to just keep on shopping.

5. CBeebies Games

The fifth site on the list is CBeebies Countdown to Christmas. Its colourful persona, as well as its simple, child-friendly user journey, make the site a perfect educational tool for its young audience. For Christmas fun, there are few sites better than this wonderful offering from CBeebies.
