A mootools accordion graces the homepage of Fixie Web Consulting. The transparent header treatment of the accordion sections makes it appear to be something unique. I love the design... on the other hand, a user not familiar with accordion menus, might not know what to click. A little more visual cue on the accordion link styling might be a good idea.

A standout Flash portfolio, vivid colors, typography and textures.
And finally trailing the pack this week is "The Boss's" new site (and you thought the boss was Bruce Springsteen). The EllisLabs site got a redesign by none other than Rick Ellis himself. The new site is clean, spacious and eloquent. Be sure to check out the comic book Superhero art treatment of staff members on the Our Team page. Contributing the illustration work was one, Cliff Persaud. Derek Allard talks a little about the illustration works and shows pencil renderings for each in this post,"GREATEST about us page of all time".

New Kid on the Block
A new media lightbox script Shadowbox—a cross-browser, cross-platform, cleanly-coded and fully-documented media viewer application built entirely in JavaScript by Michael J. I. Jackson (I think the JI stands for Jedi Intellect) . This script works independently of your other javascript frameworks, and there are already some adapters for the major js libraries, jQuery, etc. Check out the demos...
There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
