title: Great Design, Large Firm
teaser: |
  I've noticed great design is usually only found at small company websites
  but Rosetta Stone is a large company and has a nicely designed site.

I spend a lot of time (at least an hour a day, probably closer to two) looking
at websites that I didn't design. I visit web standards-compliant design
showcases just like every other designer, looking to learn from others, find
inspiration, and compare my own work. Every day, there is a new site to look at
and admire. But rarely do I come across sites that are beautifully designed
**and** belong to a large, established firm.

Today was one of those rare days. [Rosetta Stone] is very, very nice.
