This gateway site for the Harvard College Library is a good example of simple, grid-based design. The colors are vibrant and inviting, the text is easy to read, and navigation is intuitive. The seal in the background is a nice touch. Notice how each area of the site works from left to right. I especially like the feature under “Hours” that lets you know the library is “Open Right Now”. It reminds me of Krispy Kreme doughnut’s neon beacon.
