Web 2.0

So I looked up "Web 2.0 websites" and found a large list of them at AjaxProjects Web2. I clicked around and found a Web 2.0 website called Endeve. It is a business selling an electronic invoicing program for businesses both large and small. It is obvious that the graphics where designed/made in Illustrator. It is very clean and simple. It has lots of gradients, textured backgrounds, and hints of three dimensionality in the buttons, with the illusion of rounded highlights. The graphics also give the illusion of transparency through use of color changes and gradients. It is very clean and professional looking. I hope I can do something like that in the future.
