I think it's fair to say that there's presently a range of sites presented here. Some are well underway as we would expect at this stage and some [as would be admitted by their authors] would agree that they need a revamp and more time spent on them to bring them up to the standard of many of their peers and of those produced at the same time last year [see past blog posts].
Having said that, there were examples of excellent practice here when we were looking in tutorials. Work that was of good standard with experimentation includes: David G, Arran N, Matt P, Dom G, Israt C, Will and Creative Ben.
