Web Design Inspiration Curated

Endgame

I love the visual changes that happen around the page as you scroll down. The way the logo and main nav get smaller. The way the laptop image stays put and other graphics interchange with it is smartly done too.

David Bushell

I really dig how this site design has the vibe of a larger agency but it's really just for a single person. It instills trust that goes beyond a single person shop to me. I like the treatment on the origami swan as you resize the browser too. It all feels very...

Breath

Aside from being hilarious this site is pretty cleverly designed. I like the animations that trigger as you scroll down, they make you stop and read which is the goal. Also, don't forget to breath people.

Harvard

Nice, Harvard has a responsive site design now. Not sure how long it's been relaunched but I like it. It's one of the better collegiate designs as far as i'm concerned. I really dig the featured marquee area and how they change for focus based on the screen widths,...

nymi

Nice product site design here with nymi. I really like the main featured area and the focus put into designing for different screen widths for it. The little radiating lines animation is a nice subtle touch too.

hellohired

My favorite part of this design is the hero image area. I love how it slides down and fades as you scroll down the page. Then check it out when you resize it for the mobile screen widths. Very clever design.

Eddie Diaz

Nice clean look to this portfolio site. I like the about text on this site, typically on portfolio websites it's largely useless but on Eddie Diaz's it's actually informative. Bravo!

Alice in Videoland

A very intriguing site by Rachel Nabors, an interactive telling of the Alice in Wonderland story. You'd better just take a look and see what you think for yourself. An interactive take on Lewis Carroll's classic tale, lovingly crafted in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. I...

3 One Seven

Overall the layout of 3 One Seven is intense visually. There's blocks of imagery competing for your attention - which as I review this site appears to be the point of the design. It's successful in that the images are actually compelling visually and the interactions...

Webflow

Pretty much a flat organized page here with the Webflow site. It works well in this case, considering their audience. I love how the main featured image fades out as you slide down the page. The signup form all lined up horizontally looks very quick to get through -...

Montgomery

I like the way the main featured content area on this website is utilized. There's a nice block of well written copy and their featured departments near it. I also like how "main menu" is displayed when you scale the page down to mobile widths. Very smart stuff here...

The BLNCE

Really nice simple layout for this podcast series. There's been a swath of podcasts being created the past few years and as a result we get to see lots of different looks at how people handle the site designs. This one is one of my favorite designs.

YouTube Kaleidoscope

Like with the vimeo player page this shows off a type of view of YouTube videos. The page is a great way to show off all the features and get you through them fast. It's a long single page with fixed spots you can glide to from the top nav - pretty standard stuff but...

Code For America

A very nicely executed and clean responsive site design. Pretty sure the team behind this website utilized a mobile first approach, I can feel it in my bones when I scaled it down and the mobile widths are easier to use than the desktop size.

Sparkbox

The new Sparkbox website has so much of the awesome going on I can't cover it all in one sitting. It's been a long time coming but they've really delivered a great responsive website design. Spend some time really digging through this one folks, there are some great...

Kitkat

This site isn't "new" to everyone but it's definitely worthy of being in the gallery here. There's a lot going on with this site, like the slight movement and different projects they've launched. Likely this one is the one most people in our industry have seen - it's...

Jesper Landberg

I love this portfolio site design. It has all the stuff you expect from a designer site and done pretty well. I like the skills graphs and the little interactions. The stark bold design esthetic is quite nice as well. Lovely.

Huge

Huge has always been about the experience. Their new website is nothing short of great expectations as far as i'm concerned. Good experience, and good mental model of the website - backed up by the overlay navigation. I also kind of dig the way the main projects work...
