Web Design Inspiration Curated

beta.virginamerica.com

Great new experience for the Virgin America website. These guys get it and it shows. Lovely stuff. They have a really great "get to know it" page setup too. Here's a cool post about the experience too, read it up here.

Happy Cog

New updated on the Happy Cog site. I love these guys and just about everything they do, so always take notice when they relaunch their own stuff. It is of course smartly executed. I especially dig the employee profile pages.

Hudyl

Nifty splash page for the Hudyl app. I really like how the newsletter signup form is designed. Inline like that, I'd love to see some real users using it but my gut says it's a nice idea that should be well received by people using the site. Submitted by Anders Kravis...

Project Skin Vancouver

This site exudes a nice cool feeling. From the wistful line work and light typeface choice to the washed out photos it feels airy and relaxing. I also like the way the services are laid out on top of the images along the bottom of the page like they are. Good stuff....

Heads Up

I really like the animated details and some of the off-kilter layout items on this site. It's just square enough and just animated enough to make me stop for a while and poke around. Job well done!

Razorjam

Not a standard layout at all with Razorjam. I can get into too, I dig the stuff along the bottom of the page, fixed positioned like that. Then when you hit those pages they are pretty cleanly designed and fun.

Muse

A solid experience from top to bottom. Full of good narrative and imagery the Muse site really brings it home from a product marketing standpoint. Submitted by Scott Boniface @playgroundinc Muse, the brain sensing headband. It’s a brain fitness tool that helps you...

Media Works

Very much like the big square areas of this layout. The fly over navigation is smartly used here too. It's a nice take on this design pattern overall and executed well to boot.

Sproutr

Sproutr is great because there are lots of different forums and communities on the web for communicating with entrepreneurs, but none that have put the same amount of consideration into the design and UX of their site. Sproutr is very clean and easy to use. Within...

Conservation.org

Darn nice web design here for Conservation.org from Viget. I especially like the interactions on the who we are section of the home page. Very nice work. There's a pretty good case study setup on the Viget website about this one as well. Good stuff to read through for...

Pablo Domínguez

Great minimal approach to this designer's site. I love it. There is some special work done to each case study page too. Check it out.

District 5 Foundation

I love simple design, it's not as easy to pull off as you first think it is. This is why i'm always impressed when I find someone who has. This site for District 5 Foundation is one of those. Well thought out, well designed, deceptively simple websites. By our good...

Seventeenpeople.com

Not only is http://t.co/ACZ3CGlSq8 a lovingly written, designed, and illustrated essay about a favorite TV episode of mine, it’s responsive! — Responsive Design (@RWD) May 21, 2014 Wow, what a great page. The illustrations are very nice and everything is so...

Hammerhead

I love narrative in a site design. This site is such a good narrative experience to scroll through. Well done.

Sternberg Clarke

Well. The new responsive site for entertainment company @SternbergClarke is rather striking: http://t.co/WwJ2RMiAFc (via @leejamescasey) — Responsive Design (@RWD) May 7, 2014 One of the better fixed nav transforms i've seen. A quite nice layout as well...

Nobly

We don't normally post splash pages or coming soon pages, but in this case. Dang, it's a neat one.

Clever Bird Creative

Really great transitions from space to space on the page make the Clever Bird Creative memorable for me. Also the use of slight transparent blocks of space also catches my attention. Beautiful stuff.

Anti Meridiem Design

Cool, almost subtle use of animations to draw your eye on the page. I like the slide out nav (not the hamburger icon use 🙂 but how they've used the big graphic blocks as marquee elements in the nav itself. Clever.

North Charleston

Nice layout here. I really like the detail work in how the page simplifies when you scale the browser down for the various screen sizes. Smart stuff. Also the detail in the search box ux. Check it out.

Blocks

We hosted ConvergeSE this year in the Columbia Museum of Art (CMA). It was cool as we were running around, getting everything set up, whizzing past 16th, and 17th century paintings, to just stop and stare at the art for a few minutes - connecting to the past. When I...
