House "Style"

There are many styles and types of website design, and any trawl through the internet will reveal styles, shapes colours and techniques. When a customer first asks me to work on a new website I ask them to provide me with 3 examples of websites that they have found which they like. In this way I get a feeling for what they like and I try to create a unique design that will have some common features of the sites they suggest. I try not to compromise my own design and it has been said that I have a "house style" that I wasn't aware of, I try to make unique designs for my clients but in retrospect it does appear that there are 2 predominant styles in my design. The first is the straight table based design exemplified by Glenturk Self Catering the second house style is shown by Craigells Self Catering in Dumfries and Galloway. There are exceptions to this like Gelston Lodge. Of course there is a great deal of logic to this, I don't have to redesign the wheel each time I design a website, and as my latest customers said that when I asked her to give me her 3 examples she gave three of my own sites as her examples. I thought she had misunderstood my request but she said no, her favoiurite 3 websites were mine which is why she wanted me to design the website for her business.
I suppose then that we do have a "house style" but I hope that it doesn't control me and that I am open up to any progressions in design and I love integrating new technologies in my websites. Proof of this is one of my latest websites (which is not yet live) which is a complete departure for me. I will post on this later.
