I found Collective London's site design and functionality interesting and engaging. Engaging in that each area within the site is completely different. The only constant on each page is the logo + navigation tab. The About Us tab is a novel of copy - but if you mouse over the highlighted words it breaks it down to more precise information. Their People/Jobs area is particularly fun. I like their bios and how they don't take themselves too seriously. And I like how they explain their work - which means I don't have to read anything. Nice. (Click on the Honda UK Car Site - they built some cool features into this)... then visit the actual site.
Widget
Collective London also offers their blog in a widget format... this way, you can get their blog delivered to your phone.
What's a widget (gadget)? A downloadable application that can live on your phone, your web browser or computer desktop. The widget can be developed to do pretty much anything a website can do. For example, there are various "widgets" I can add to my "iGoogle" page - some may include a "slideshow" widget in which I can add photos...or a "Pacman" widget that lives on my iGoogle page and lets me play the game from that screen. On my computer, I have a "clock" and "calendar" and "weather" widget, as well as a "calculater" and "current nearby gas prices" widgets. I used to have a "dog" widget but I forgot to feed it and it died. :(
Think about this as a tool for your clients... do they have information they want to share with their customers? The widgets are easily developed and can be BRANDED with client logos if need be.

Just because it's fun (and cool functionality)
