Zizzi

Italian-restaurant chain Zizzi has redesigned its online home to delicious effect. With its colourful presentation and clever touches such as spinning special-offer plates, the site reflects the fresh and vibrant nature of the Zizzi’s food.

Useful features include the ability to find your nearest restaurant and get instant confirmation of your booking, and individual ‘like’ options for every item on the menu so you can see which salads, pizzas and other dishes are currently most popular.

What we liked:
Grooveshark lets you listen to millions of songs in full for free, and topped our last round-up of music-streaming services in Issue 251 (October 2010). Since then, We7 and Deezer have both relaunched in the UK, but this funky fish is still swimming ahead of the rest.

Guinness World Records

After 56 years, you might expect Guinness World Records to be showing its age but its relaunched online home looks as fresh as the world’s largest fresh-flower mural (Netherlands, 1,869 square metres).

Previously, you needed to search for specific entries but the new Explore Records function lets you browse at leisure sections devoted to size, speed and dedication, as well as viewing the latest achievement.

Moonfruit

Moonfruit ❘ ★★★★★

If you’re looking for a simple way to put together a website that looks like it’s been designed by a professional, Moonfruit leads the way. Its attractive website isn’t just a shallow bid to get you interested, but a genuine indication of the kind of site you’ll be able to create.
