Check out these websites that took one look at tables, the traditional way to arrange lots of content, and smashed the table to pieces. Rob Morris, Jonathan Yuen and Dave Barnes have some really off the wall sites that should make the designers of the worlds worst websites turn in their digital graves.

Digital mash is from down-under web designer Rob Morris. It is straight down the middle brilliant, with clear info and plenty of little touches to entertain and inform you. We would point out the pensive designer seated in a deck chair. Clearly a surreal, other-worldly picture, because there is no sign of lager or other 3rd party substance to explain this guy's over-active brain. We found digitalmash.com via a podcast from Practical Web Design.

Jonathan Yuen is on another planet, in a good way. Fire up this site, turn off the lights and enjoy the trip through what appears to be a real zen garden. And don't freak out, the cursor control is deliberate. Breathe deeply, exhale, it's all good.

Dave Barnes is chasing mississipi and doing a really good job. They say that embedded music that launches when a web page opens is a real design no-no. I have to agree, normally, but here I am writing this article, listening to a string of music blasting uncontrollably from this totally engrossing website. The guy is a total rule breaker. There isn't a straight line on the page, no discernible menu, and even the form to subscribe to his newsletter is a squiggly mark at the top of the page. It is a disgrace that there is no alternative version to cater for the rectangular thinkers in the world!

It is weird hovering on the homepage, because on the one hand, he has included features so people can play and explore, yet on this homepage there is so much to discover, I don't want to click on anything just in case I get whisked away, never to return. But rest assured, when the time comes to stop looking and begin delving, the site evolves yet again to a higher level.

Every link blows an info sheet away from the left side of the page and replaces it with another. So I don't ever leave the homepage. Wow. One moment I am looking at his tour notes, the next, a selection of Dave Barnes' music.

Fricking amazing and indicative of the minds and aims of all three web site owners. Got any totally out there fave sites?
