Guild Wars 2
The GW2 website is what I would consider to be an example of good website design. The entire website has a very cohesive and artistic theme. It is pretty to look at, but minimalist and easy to navigate. The nav bars make good use of mouseover effects and in the case of the dropdown menus, transparency. Pretty much every element on the page, from the hr (horizontal rule) tag to the slight gradient background behind the date on the news posts, has been customized to tie the site theme together. The site also resizes itself (to an extent) to fit the viewer's browser window. Unlike many game websites, GW2 does not make heavy use of flash applications. I consider this to be a huge bonus because flash embeds can quickly become overdone and a resource drain. Even the fading mouseover effects found on the character info pages is done entirely with HTML/CSS.
