There is no bilingual sites from what I can(n’t) see:)

For a large multi-departmental site there’s the Mosman Library
- Masses of information all organized effectively and efficiently. It’s in Australia so there’s a slight delay with page loads but I’ve seen worse from just down the road.
- Calendar View
- Image Gallery
- Nice Search Results page

I like how it’s laid out, wonder where it runs cause I see it paint and it’s not a heavy site.

How about adding a (short) reasoning why using Textpattern makes the difference, either from a vistor’s or from the creator’s view?

… though wasn’t that a special setup produced by “team textpattern” with subsections and community pages that not everyone with the standard txp setup will be able to have?

TXP Builders – finely-crafted code, design and txp

Re: Which sites show txp at its best?
Jakob, I think many of the sites mentioned also have extra non-standard coding, but I don’t think that should exclude them from a “best of” list. Just my opinion.
I don’t know if any extra features have been used in these but I like the look and the way they work and think they are just as good as some mentioned above:
GraphicPush by Kevin Potts is a great example of a web designer’s website and blog – cool graphics, easy-to-follow interface, plenty of interesting little sections. I think you’ll all enjoy reading his latest article about branding the txp interface for clients
My personal favourite web designer’s home page is all-sorts.biz because, even though the layout is totally non-standard, it grabs my attention with great graphics, has everything I need to know on one page, uses clear and bold communication, states what I will and will not get, is clear about the money, and makes it simple and attractive to interact, state my needs and find out more.

Re: Which sites show txp at its best?
Zero, Jakob – Zem was contracted to provide the subsection capability; and he also made a small improvement to the files functionality (can edit its date) and a custom fix for clean URLs on our Windows 2000 server (run inhouse, Sydney location). There are no custom community pages. (Another site uses Manfre’s plugins to allow people to register as authors and add content to a moderation queue.) But essentially the site is just Textpattern.

Re: Which sites show txp at its best?
I would like to add another vote for GraphicPush. Not only is the design a really well designed example of using Txp as a design blog (passive income without making it eye-burning) the content itself is phenomenal!
