A few years ago the "Web 2.0" style was the rage in web design. With the Web 2.0 style we saw badges, reflections, rounded corners and glossy interfaces. As we move forward in web trends things have shifted towards a dramatically different approach. Where rich, complex interfaces and designs were once the "cool" thing to do now more and more designers are moving towards a minimalist approach.
Minimalism is great for several reason, it puts more emphasis on what elements you DO keep on the site, it makes using the site easier and is distraction free.
One of the interesting trends that has come forward with the minimalist look is the use of simple and complete circles in web design. For some reason these were far from common through most of the history of web design. Maybe it is because it is so much simpler to design on the web using boxes and hard angles (due to the limitations of technology). Or maybe it is just a design trend that was popular in previous decades and is just now resurfacing.
Either way there are designers who are putting plenty of personality into their designs with a "circle accent." Take a look at the following:

I think that the now current use of the circle within webdesign breathes a fresh lease of life in into the current style of minimalist design.
The flat coloured circle on the white background can draw the eye instantly to a tagline or logo even when it is surrounded by body text or images.
Quite simple and elegant design, but perfect for blogging.
I’ve started to notice this style more and more over the web, I quite like it myself and if done correctly you can achieve a really nice design for your website. The effective website is one of my favorites, I’ve looked at their site quite a few times for inspiration. Good post!
Tremendous list of really useful sites that I would never have located on my own. thank uu for sharing !

Nice article. Designing and programming are very related; your points are also very true for programmers, although ‘artistic’ should be replaced by ‘creative’ in that case. I found out the main difference between programmers and designers is that designers need to think outside-the-box, while programmers need to think inside-the-box; both a very creative process.
Thanks for this. Its a good list of sites definetly worth a look .
Some amazing looking sites and an eye opener.

sumomax throat cancer surgeries used to be looked at and all of these operations were made more frequently in the larynx was taken. Now for the disease in the early diagnosis can be caught earlier. Laser application, the problem of hoarseness can be treated and residents can go from the hospital the same day. These steps away from cigarettes and alcohol to absent oneself
need to focus.
Great collection. Very cool use of circles.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
