The Design Vote

The Design Vote presents design articles which are rated by consumers by a simple voting process. A positive vote is registered by clicking on the 'thumbs up' button and a negative vote using the 'thumbs down' symbol. The idea behind this is to give visitors to the site an opportunity to express their opinions and at the same time observe the opinions of others. The results are constantly evaluated and displayed, with the most popular objects listed in daily rankings.

The Design Vote was established in 2008 and has developed into a number of pages: thehousevote.com, the kitchenvote.com, thegadgetvote.com and theroomvote.com. The aim is to create an honest dialogue with design, without being influenced by marketing and advertising. Voting is lively, although the comments which are entered are fairly limited in scope.
