Aaron D. - https://www.udemy.com This website is an educational set where one can look up online courses for a large range of topics.  The site offers free courses, but also requires you to pay for certain ones.  The website also has an iPhone App so you can take your courses on the go.  Most of the courses are made up of videos, which engages the users.

Yee L. - www.using-dreamweaver.com

William S. - http://www.rockstargames.com/V/ - i chose this website because it uses html creatively. it links turn white when you roll over them then it then fade out when you don't have the mouse over it. when you click the link it fade to black and then fade into the page. if you look at the page source it uses divs like we talked about in class.
