Website Layouts

This is a great list. I've seen variations on all of these, and it's worth looking through if you're interested in design.

As these are rather trendy, modern layouts favored by designers right at this moment, though, I wouldn't really call them 'rock solid'. Let's see which ones are still popular in three years.

Awesome! I'm a coder and my design skills are close to none. I was having a hard time visualizing what I want my future site to look like and I really like how the site shows you a blank theoretical layout with black boxes, and then a real life example of the final result. This will definetly be very helpful.

It seems that the title should be "10 Rock Solid Landing Page Layouts," because most of these really have room for much content.

The site showcases some nice designs - but am I the only one that is a little bit bothered by the fact that the majority of the example screenshots are sites of web or graphic designers? It gives the impression that the web design universe is pretty self-contained and occupied with itself.

I don't mean to be negative, the post does provide useful analysis of the designs. I would just love to see more examples of sites that provide actual functionality and/or information to users, instead of sites that are easy on the eyes and showcase design skills.

Nice list - I like how it shows the basic silhouette with a real world example. Now I just wish I could click "download" under each one and get an HTML5 template pre-coded with the layout.

If you're interested in further layout research, http://www.thegridsystem.org/ is a gold mine for that.
