HTML5 gallery has two primary aims, the first is to showcase sites that use HTML5 for markup, so that we can see how people have interpreted the specification and how they’ve implemented it. This leads me on to the secondary aim which is to help people learn about html5 and how it should be used and how to implement it.
I’m hoping that a side effect of this is that browser developers will see how many people are implementing HTML5 and add more support for it in their rendering engines so that we don’t have to add display:block; to elements where not required and we don’t have to rely on JavaScript to create elements.
You can follow @html5gallery to get updates when new sites are added to the gallery.
The site is run by me, Richard Clark, a front end designer based in Manchester, UK and you can find me around the web here:
Co-curators
With the gallery getting more popular, it was becoming too much to manage so I’m really happy to have brought some other people on board to help me out.

About the markup/design
I plan on converting the markup to HTML5 when I get the chance as well as working up the design, but in the meantime thanks to the guys at WooThemes for giving away a free theme that was exactly what I was after so I could get this up and running quickly and easily. In the meantime please enjoy browsing the showcase.
