Harvested some interesting websites that each have a unique approach to their current contexts. The new trend, as you can see is all about ‘black/gray/white’ which are making a return as the favored color for contrast.
Do you think minimalist / empty is the new full?
Working on a new website? Don’t go dark – do something like Toko Design. Show your best work in a one-page with a proeminent contact link.

Large negative expanses (white space), simple top text navigation to projects and huge visuals to show off capabilities as This Studio did.
_______
Got to make your visitors choose between two different sections? Make sure to use as Counter-Print did, explicit text with no ambiguities.
_______
Super confident in your work? Then use merely a slideshow with easy next / previous links. Make sure clicking images takes to a more detailed section of the projects as Build did.
_______
Use large black blocks for navigation and smaller lines to create an elegant minimalist effect to seperate sections as Subtraction did.

An excellent idea to put emphasis on the latest project delivered as Iain Claridge Studio did. Playing off grayscales affords a nice neutral interface.
_______
Lastly, only dare using pop-ups windows if you have no other way to show a large portfolio as did Studio Newwork did.
Is it just me or there are a lot of newly relaunched websites going for huge visuals and lateral scrolling? MoCo Loco is one example that comes to mind. Well one of my fav bunch of people Duane King and company have redesigned Thinking for a Living that kept its signature soft pink background and nice typographic treatment for sections. Personally I really like it.
