Web Design Inspiration Curated

Grain and Mortar

Beautifully designed website here for Grain and Mortar. I love the dark overtone to the design and love the typography. There are some really wonderful illustrations throughout the website too - if you're into that sort of thing 🙂

World of Swiss

Very interesting experience traversing this website. I love the scroll and fly feeling. Very slick execution.

Orlin Culture Shop

Super simple and elegant way to show off your work for an illustrator. I get to just sit here and scroll down the page and take in all this succulent work. Mmmm.

Pamlico Capital

I like the use of the video in the header on the Pamlico Capital site. All of the slider interactions across the home page are nicely done too, they're subtle enough and effective at the same time. I don't think i've seen a site's navigation labeled "Navigation" yet,...

Pronto

Beautiful icons across this site. Really elegant layout and type work too. I sense some technical issues every now and then on images loading but overall it's a gorgeous site design.

9/11 Tribute Center

Great new site for the 9/11 Tribute Center by the Bearded Studios gents. My favorite part is the navigation design. I really like how most of the site's nav is represented in the drop down and keeps it easily accessible on the desktop. While it's more inline on the...

Badass Programmers

Nice scroll down/in movement on the main graphics. That kind of thing can hit home right away when you first visit a website. Claws, Jimi Hendrix... dern fellas.

Fliplingo

Pretty cool interactions to review on this site. First I like how the nav goes transparent when you scroll and reappears when you start to scroll back up. Then there are little movements on important buttons to show you where your attention to should be placed next....

Anxiety Fight

Strong visual language backs up a nice solid design and layout. Sometimes you can see there's good content that the designer has to work on, this site is a good example of that. Good content backed up with good design.

Paul Murphy

Really dig the masonry like layout utilized here. It's well done. I also like the light touch to the design so that the site itself doesn't overpower the work displayed. That's a hard line to walk.

The Geek Designer

I love it when a person's personality comes through in their design. Now this is a personal portfolio site for Alex Pierce and yeah, his personality should show through. Boy does it. In the specific words and phrases and most of all there's a shot on the main page of...

Schmoll Creative

Love the minimal color palette. Smooth transition between the topmost section and the main nav load too. Then plenty of little visual interaction pieces across the page as you scroll to keep things interesting. Lovely site.

Tanukis

I really like this new pattern that's emerging where the main nav changes slightly once you move past the initial page load. I do also dig the interactions placed with each of the main images on the home page too, very smart use of animations.

Time

Really great transition to a responsive website from Time Magazine. It's really beautifully done. There are also sections like this World Trade Center article that show they are really trying to push the boundaries of online writing. Well done.

Comaxx

I like this nav design. It's a different idea to include, pretty much, a sitemap as your main nav if you can (if the site is small enough). I also dig how the illustrations are used and interact visually with the copy.

Studio Alto

Pretty slick movement on the site as you scroll. I like the way the colors flip around too on interaction with the main nav. Clever stuff here.

Chant Des Baleines

Really beautiful single page site for this band. I luurve the illustrations.

Havoc Inspired

Pretty nifty site design. I like how the main nav stays fixed but in the box shape that overlays the site. Also, resize this badboy, that's a cool way to hide the transitions but also making it interesting for us that build sites too. Bravo.

waterbugapp.com

Clever app. It's a simple page for the app but I really dig it. I like the iPhone image that changes out and slides up slightly as you scroll down the page.

Made By Few

The new Made By Few site for 2014 is marvelous. The lineup is looking good too. I really dig this design pattern where the top of the page is used for a big hero area and as you slide down the page the main nav sort of sticks into place and is set. This site does that...
