What is Strangefruits?
Strangefruits contains a hand-picked selection of creative, strange and amazing websites. Those that are both beautiful, innovative, functional and exceptionally well-designed. We focus on art & design sites.


How long does it take to review a site?
On average between 1 to 4 weeks.


How can I submit my site?
Strangely enough this is one of the most common questions: how about using the submit form (some people are just amazingly lazy).
But before you submit please remember that you can only submit your site ones, so make sure that your site is absolutely finished before you do (because otherwise it's just a wast of time).
And bear in mind that you can only submit top level domains (it's not possible to submit a subdirectory).


The submit form won't accept my site?
You can only submit top level domains. It's not possible to submit a subdirectory or specific page.

How the hell could you reject my site?!
All sites are hand-picked. We get lots and lots of submissions, and only a few make it in. To be featured a site has to be exceptional in both content and design.
Sites that look unfinished, with under construction pages, don't work well in Firefox, have poor navigation, crappy design, endless intro’s, double doorways, pop-ups (in any form), do not scale well, take forever to load, look abandoned, redirect to an other site, or do creepy things to a browser window will be rejected straight away.


Why can I only submit a site once?
We were fed up with people trying to submit their site over and over and over again, trying to get in. So we have added a little feature to prevent it ;-)
Once a year or so we will cleanup the back end system, what means that you can re-submit a website that has been rejected before. But please bear in mind that this is really useless unless your site has been restyled.

last cleanup: June 19 2008.


You rejected my site before, but now I have updated it and it's really good. What do I do?
Ones in a while (ones a year or so) we will clean up the backend system so that you could try again. Meanwhile just try one of the other sections.


I have updated my site, how can I get in touch?
Just use the update notification form and we will update your sites listing a.s.p.


How can I contribute to Strangefruits?
Well first of all by submitting good, no really amazing sites.


You claim to be non-commercial, yet I have noticed some ads. What’s up?
We are non-commercial, yet bills will have to get paid. A site like this costs a lot of money. It would be nice if at some point they will cover most of it. But bear in mind that non of the sites listed here paid for it.

2001

Strangefruits has been around for a long time. This month exist exactly 11 years. If you measure our existence in internet time I guess you could say we have been around for ever..
The internet, the look and feel, and the way websites are maintained have evolved a lot over the years.
It might be hard to imagine that in the beginning we not only hand-picked each site but also had to manually update the html of this website (no kidding).
All this time I have been searching the web and hand-picked each and every site ever listed on this website (looked at thousands and thousands of sites). But lately I noticed that it harder and harder to find truly creative, beautiful, innovative and exceptional websites.

So if you stumble upon one please submit it for review.

The submit site section has been cleaned out. As of today it's possible to resubmit a site (that we have rejected in the past). But please please please only do so if you have redesigned it.

Like many people I am desorientated by our contemporary society that is in a state of deep change. It sees its old institutions trembling, its former ideologies crumbling, its beliefs and traditionnal values being destroyed. At the same time the number of heavy, menacing threats serves to increase the areas of desolation.

I let my imagination range across these deserted landscapes. They appear cut off, deserted, polluted, dominated, under surveillance or cast adrift.

Inhuman spaces ? I'm not sure. In effect, if you look closely at certain photographs there seems to appear a human spark of reconquest...

Hi there, I am an Austrian multi-disciplinary designer with a great interest in illustration and graphic design. I am currently studying Arts and Design at the University of Applied Science Salzburg, in Austria. In the last two semesters I discovered my big interest in illustration. And I just want to learn more! Now I am looking for a place where I can get my hands on the design process.
