do you generate the website snapshots manually or using some headless browser or a 3rd party service ? .. just curious :)
I take all the shots manually. If I were to do it automatically (maybe I will in the future) I would use this: http://url2png.com/ - great results.
I'm curious on a legal aspect: Do you check with the website owners before posting?
In its history (since 2009) I've had one take down request, from a photographer who was tired of having his work ripped off so wanted to keep a low profile.

No. I'm just going on the assumption that everyone would like to see traffic to their site, and I make it clear in the footer that all screenshots are the copyright of their owners.

In my brief scan, most of these designs seem to center around tasteful use of photography; there isn't as much in the way of impressive web design. Good photography undoubtedly improves the visual appeal of a site, but I often find myself in a position with just layouts, text, and a few assets. Being able to turn your basic tools into a visually appealing site is what I see as excellent web design.

That's awesome. I was thinking to build a similar site focusing on purely on eCommerce and was worried about legal aspects of this.
