2nd Prize – Komodo Media

Submitted by Yogesh, Komodo Media template is very interesting to play with and get inspirations =)

If you carefully go through the site, you will notice that there is actually one blog post on the front page but there is enough other menus that lead you to other interesting posts such as inspirations and experiments. The footer is refreshing as well and leaves a good touch without overwhleming the visitors.

Well done, Rogie!
