The launch of the today’s CSS Reboot was somewhat anticlimactic because the home page has been down for quite a while now is back in business, but feel free to continue submitting your favorites.
Until their hosting problems are sorted out, I have tried to collect the best of the Reboot so far that I have come across. Feel free to leave any comments on great reboots you’ve found because it is difficult to find them without the organization of the reboot website.
“The Aries Project” is another brilliant work from Bryan Veloso who had already raised the bar with his previous design.
It’s a beauty on the outside, but apparently there’s more to it.
A wonderful background and some stunning graphics make Kyle Jones’ “JustKyle” one of my favorites.
Black is the new black, but Phu’s reboot keeps it fresh with some nice warm colors in the footer and a brilliantly simple organization.
He pulled off pink grunge…need I say more?
It’s more about the artwork than anything else with Khaled’s redesign. Chock full of personality and amazing artwork.
Jonathan Snook had expressed some concerns about redesigning his popular site, but has managed to please everyone by allowing users to choose what they want. Sick of the light-on-dark? Change the contrast. Low resolution? Drop to two columns. Like the scrolling comment form? Dock it.
Forty Media has rebooted and has a great looking portfolio page.
A fun little site that went “wicked worn” without overdoing. Curiously fun.
Also, keep an eye out for some Rundle hotness on Business Logs and the (re)birth of his personal site
I will try to keep this updated as learn of more great reboots.

MomAdvice.com – The first site I clicked on was actually the most surprising thus far. For being one of the few that have nothing to do with web design, I was struck by their ambition: sIFR, .NET 2.0, PNGs and a generally solid design mixed with a lot of humor was surprising to find.
Orangecoat.com – Great design that doesn’t stop just on the home page like so many. Don’t take themselves too seriously either. Nice.
Thannyle.com – Nothing revolutionary, but a pleasing site front to back.
Dion.nu – ”...we are closed until further notice.” Oops.

Joshua: I caught that. Liked your SEO design article as well.
I actually preferred 45royale’s previous design (which I think came at the last reboot), but this one is still nice. Fresh Branding is pretty clean too.
Angela: MomAdvice is alot of fun and I really like Orange Coat.

The design of www.freshbranding.co.uk has been nicked… Check out the culprit’s site over at www.desensolutionsgroup.com, and admire their lack of morals! If anyone feels like emailing ‘Desen Solutions Group’ to complain please just make sure you’re not TOO blunt!! There’s a post over at freshbranding.co.uk – see the news page.
