Best Web Gallery Revamped 90
Finding inspiration has always been part of my work and life. I created Best Web Gallery back in 2006 as my personal bookmark tool where I featured the best design on the web. I've featured more than 1700+ sites in the past years. Today I'm happy to announce the redesign. The new design gives the site a huge facelift and more functional.
Upgraded to WordPress 3.2 and Themify
The major upgrade in the backend is the WordPress platform and the theme framework. I upgraded WordPress from version 2.2 which is a 4-year old version to the latest 3.2. The theme back-end is based on the Themify framework.

Multiple Viewing Options
Each post has multiple viewing options:
- click on the thumbnail to visit link in the same window
- click on the comment icon to view the post details
- click on the zoom icon to view link in lightbox
- click on the new window icon to open link in a new window

Lightbox Browsing
Browsing on Best Web Gallery is easier. Featured links can be opened in a lightbox mode and users can use the arrow keys to browse through the gallery without having to switch tabs or go back and forth.

Full Size Screencap
The image screen capture is taken at full size 1200px wide.

Rating System
On top of the new design and platform, I also added a star rating plugin (suggested by many). Now you can rate the site and view the top 2o sites.

Fluid & Responsive
The layout is completely fluid and responsive. It works in any resolution and all major browsers including Internet Explorer. If you are into the responsive design, read my tutorial on how to code a responsive design with media queries.

Welcome Chad Mueller
Lastly, I would like to introduce Chad Mueller of Inspiredology. Chad will be on board and handling the submissions and site management.
Great work.
Looks Great!
Looks great. i liked very much the design of the page number navigation on the bottom, and it’s all css!.
Question: what is the name of the star rating plugin?
What plugin or code did you use to allow user ratings?
The star rating plugin is: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-star-rating/
I was surprised, after seeing nothing in my BWG RSS Feed empty for so long, to suddenly have a huge new list of wonderful websites to visit. And the site revamp works really well too :)
Nice redesign, one thing though, the list of categories on the hover of “gallery” is hardly readable for the small terms.
Btw, i’ve updated the infos on regrouped.net about bestwebgallery.
Cheers
