I'm always impressed when people can pull off dark backgrounds without looking samey, and the subtle treats dotted around her blog serve to differentiate from the crowd.
I particularly like the the opacity effect on the main menu tabs and the way she's managed to cram an awful lot of information without leaving us feeling overloaded.
The site was being a bit unresponsive so I didn't have time to have a good look around, but I'll certainly be returning for a second look later.

It's been a while since I haven't see a stunning design on CSSbeauty.Congratulations!
On March 1, 2006 1:44 PM tirins.play said:One of the very nicest designs I have seen in quite a while. Clean, usable with lots of clever design nuances. I particularly like the use of transparency, subtle shadows, restraint in rollover effects, and color scheme (not to mention the content itself).
I give it a 10.

great redesign from veerle.
very very inspiring :)
On March 2, 2006 3:43 PM Birgit said:Very well done indeed. Liked it from the first glance. Yeah, looks like she's got some traffic problems, the site sometimes doesn't respond. Really inspiring design!
On March 2, 2006 6:16 PM Yura said:I think it's kind of "busy" and "all over the place" Not the most user friendly website. But I do love her work.
On March 2, 2006 6:30 PM Darren Ansley said:I don't think it's busy at all. It has a lot going on, but the elegant use of color and typography helps clearly define each area. Overall it's a very nicely designed site.

to me, it's all those lovely little details that make it. those rounded corners, the little icons, that 90 degree shadow. love the colour scheme and the choice of fonts also, works well for a blog/self-promo site. not corporate yet very tidy and more friendly.
On March 3, 2006 2:32 AM Veerle Pieters said:Thanks for featuring me here on CSS Beauty, I feel humbly in the presence of all the great sites that were featured before me. Let me also apologize for my site being unreachable, my host moved me to a dedicated server and things went wrong badly. I am seriously considering switching to another host after that debacle. To all other people here thanks for the great comments, I am still overwhelmed and can’t believe it all.

This is up there with the best of the best. Breath it all in fellow webbions - this has got it all ...
On March 7, 2006 5:08 AM Nathan Kelly said:Wow that's really nice, lots of content and well thought out, there's really not much I can say about this site that is negative and I think that is a rare thing given the current experimentation(al) state of the web (2.0 for the nerds).
Classic yet contemporary feel, nice use of colour, I love it, well done.
On March 23, 2006 5:17 AM mARTin said:Very nice design, but poor usability.
On March 23, 2006 5:41 PM Steve Cochrane said:mARTin: Specifically how is the usability poor?
On March 29, 2006 9:03 AM Alexx said:Veerle may have nice graphics (art?), no doubt about that.
But that’s about it. Just try to find there something and measure your time..
It’s like X-mass tree: colors, things, lights, lines, dots, lines, corners, no-corners, shadows, plain image….
And I think that I miss there one thing: confetti’s!
On March 29, 2006 8:41 PM Andri said:Vááá!!!! .. the best work I have ever seen .. no kidding, the amount of detail is amazing!
On April 17, 2006 1:10 PM Mark Bowen said:I had to come in on the end of the comments here and put in my two pennies worth. Hope no one minds.
I think that Veerle's site is absolutely fantastic for many different reasons. The two main reasons being the quality of the design, which whilst it may not be to everyones taste is nonetheless priceless and secondly the most important aspect of the site, content!
A site is nothing without good solid content and Veerle's is second to none.
I don't quite know what some people have meant by try and find something and you can't because if I want to find something on her site I can do within less than 3 clicks. Now if that isn't good site design then I don't know what is.
Veerle has taken EE (Expression Engine) and created an exceptionally thorough site using it. The attention to detail throughout the site is second to none. May I also remind everyone that even though she isn't english her use of the language beats most english speakers I have ever come across.
I give the site 11 out of 10. It truly is a magnificent site that shows what can be done when you truly put your mind to it.
Best wishes,
Mark Bowen

On March 18, 2008 6:25 AM Designer said:Veerle's Blog is probably one of the very best websites I've ever known. I often go there to find inspiration or watch her tutorials. Very nice work indeed!
