So, what are the very best Drupal examples..

Mine would have to be:

What if your own site is the best example you know of? :)
Seriously though, I have always liked http://www.urlgreyhot.com/ I assume it is run on Drupal because I have seen the author posting here and creating modules/themes.
That is a nice site ...
... and by the way whats that little robot toy? Jean Luc Picards first crib toy?
second that!
Of course it is running Drupal, look at the URI. :)
Actually http://terminus1525.ca is the most impressive I have ever seen, but it must have been a heavily-hacked Drupal they are running there, so urlgreyhot got my vote.
actually, it's not that bad
the most recent version of terminus is /almost/ vanilla 4.4.x . there are (obviously) some custom modules, but the bulk of the customization is in the terminus.theme (which is a slim 1698 lines of code ;) )
wow. drupal continues to
wow. drupal continues to amaze me.
wow terminus1525.ca really
wow terminus1525.ca really is a nice drupal example
another one
both terminus and urlgreyhot demonstrate a lot of Drupal potential. and here's another site with a nice design: cialog.
I want this theme!
I want this theme!
well, if you like that one
Check out WoobleLab: Online Community for New Media Artists. Just saw it a few days ago. It looks very Drupal like, yet, aesthetically pleasing.
thanks :-)
Thanks for the vote cel4145! It's nice to get some positive feedback after just launching. I just added a video (mpg) tutorial to the WoobleLab site today...trying to get more of that "immersive" feel over time. But, I have to say, I'd vote for the terminus folks...that site is REALLY nice. Speaking of which, I like the flash integration on the home page that they've got...I tried that in the "mission" area but no luck...more to figure out how to do!
cialog
Can you tell me who designed that site (cialog) I need to have my new Drupal site redesigned.
Thanks,
Patrick
We could certainly help you
We could certainly help you out, my designers blow most of this work away ( IMO )

Any idea how to create those
Any idea how to create those mouse over effects on his main links in the header?
looks like
CSS Creator's light weight multi level menu
which i suggested to be included in drupal core
from alistapart
:) Got the idea from here:

Not finished yet, but...
You can check out http://www.zofiart.com.
My client is still trying to figure out what should go on the front page, and the site will obviously have more text content, but the galleries are cool, and you wouldn't know immediately that it is Drupal (except for the urls, which I left in the default style). Please make comments for improvement so that we can fix it up nicely.

I like ekosTV.com. They've got a simple, Drupal interface...and great content.

Perhaps this link which does NOT link to a Windows Media Player video would better display the site.

Test site...always start with a test site.
Changed the URL
The Windows Media Player page has been removed, and the drupal page is now the homepage, so the link should load you right into the drupal-ness now.

I second that! Several of the other sites are very striking and demonstrate some truly neat examples of what can be done with Drupal.
However, nautis.com just pulls everything together into an original and visually appealing package, with a very elegant character and overall "feel."

But that is not a Drupal site.

Though it's powered by wordpress it would make a brilliant drupal theme.

Anyone know what theme that is?

Lincoln's Revenge Version 2
The theme is called Lincoln's Revenge Version 2.
The author is Chris Messina (FactoryJoe), the same guy who wrote the SpreadFireFox theme, the Democratica theme (part of CivicSpace's distro of Drupal), and the new theme on CivicSpaceLabs web site.

Any idea what templates they base these sites on?
wowsers!
I had to check some standard URL's to find out that these are truly drupal sites. Whoever did this, Excellent work. I dont think the themes from these sites is or will be public though.

gee, thanks for the compliments...but we should really be thanking the drupal developers and support community, as it's drupal that allows us to create such sites. so, thanks drupal!
to answer a couple of questions...all of our sites are drupal based and our themes don't really start from another theme. marieke, the floatleft designer, creates a mockup of the visual design, and then i implement it into a theme - typically starting with the code from theme.inc (theme_page, theme_node, etc...) and manually building the css.
you're right that the actual themes aren't available to the public, as they are custom designs for our clients. but if anyone has any questions on how we've done something on a particular site, let me know (http://drupal.org/user/5253/contact). i'd be happy to share ideas and code.

You site is one of the coolest one I've seen, and sure terminus guys have done a great job too!

Code0range.net looks good
I like this one a lot:
http://code0range.net/
It's a typical 3 columns-site, but the colors are great, it's very readable, and I like the way they use the user-avatars and the images for the categories.

just loaded ourmedia.org and it looks good. it is currently under a slashdot so checkit in a day or two.

SEOposition Theme for Drupal 5+
Hello,
We've done some content writing for SEOposition.com - http://www.seoposition.com - over the past few months. Their SEO Position theme for 5.1 that will be called "Alek 2.0" will be launched to the Drupal community over the next few days. But overall they have one of the cleanest Drupal themes we've seen.

I like FergusonPhotography.com
It is a nice, dark theme based on the 'Foundation' theme.
Very clean site Design

Why?
Why is it hard to believe it's Drupal? There's a lot of nice Drupal sites out there.

Of course, just like any
Of course, just like any other framework lots are great. Just the majority of Drupal sites that I have seen are not very polished in presentation. Usually due to 'lazy' theming and not taking the extra time to create image inputs, things like that

Yeah...
That's why it seemed like such an odd comment. The look of the site is all on the themer's head. Has very little to do with Drupal.

i really like the content ;)
http://www.alpinestars.com/
surprisingly i submitted both the sugar and mtv sites on another forum and other members tore them up!! saying they where poorly coded and horrible sites and drupal was a bloated CMS :(
the major sites i like is
an extreme customisation and styling
www.mothersclick.com
www.teamsugar.com
www.nowpublic.com
This is a great site
Can we create similar sites
Can we create similar sites by customizing themes only?
or/and we also need to customizing modules and creating custom codes
in order to do that?
I have created two drupal based web sites by modifying themes, XHTML and CSS
to create some unconventional layout,
but hardly achieve what your example is.

Realy nice site
How many hours did you spent layouting it?
I realy like your work.
Thank you. Unfortunately the
Thank you. Unfortunately the 'green' promo is ruining the site haha... their contracted a seperate company for those however. Hours I cant really say, probably a good 30 - 40 hours tweaking CSS/Design elements. It is a hybrid of internal intranet data pushed to this site, and then of course Drupal nodes. The entire site took around 140 - 150 hours, still some fixing up to do though.

This is so old
I don't know if anyone's realized it, but this post was started in 2004.. :)
I'm guessing he didn't want people just promoting their own sites.

I know it's not fair to promote your own site. But since philipk started his inconsistency from the very beginning:), I'd like to show you a very gorgeous sample of newspaper site. The great thing is it is totally unfinished, it's just a rejected sample site, haha, it will simply remain there for the proof of concept on skinning some great modules, and most of all it's all based on zen_classic. I have made other better sites, of course, but as said earlier it's just unfair to promote your own site, right?
