Ready for the Reboot?

I’m a sucker for a killer design (and if you’re like me, it’s why we visit sites like Stylegala and CSSBeauty on an almost daily basis), and there’s bound to be a number of them when the covers are yanked off of all 962 CSS Reboot entries tomorrow.

For those of you that haven’t been following along, the CSS Reboot is an effort started by B. Adam Howell back in March to combine the efforts of standards-based designers (can we stop using that qualifier yet?) to give a small corner of the web a big coordinated facelift.

We’ve all read about the time and money that switching over to a standards-based design can save us, but my favorite aspect of the Reboot is checking out all of the eye-candy. A majority of the participants are really talented designers, and I probably wouldn’t have the pleasure of checking out their work if it weren’t for the Reboot. The Reboot really levels the playing field to give lesser-known designers the exposure they deserve, and we get to watch as the cream rises to the top.
