Web Design Inspiration Curated

Offscreen Magazine

Offscreenmag.com looks great at all screen sizes. I really enjoy the balance of the typography and soft grays. The site does a great job of balancing a lot of information with a minimal design language. Simple and elegant. We get the mag and that's nifty too. 🙂

Vest

Vest provides a really nice loading experience, considering it is a site that transfers 1.4MB when loaded. The main view loads a simple graphic and then loads in the heavier images whenever they are a available. The effect is something like a load screen that doesn't...

Bruno Felicio

Really simple minimal approach done well. I like the logo, then to see it used again on top of the guy's self-portrait illustration. Nice simple layout that let's me see the work really fast while looking engaging at the same time.

Ashley St Pier

Ashleystpier.com is big and beautiful. This kid is drinking the minimal Kool-Aid and it is working. Very nice portfolio site with minimal detailing and superb balance.

Ruimtewerkers

I like the stark black and white box design of this website. Very simple and clean yet it almost feels gritty due to the way the boxes are used. That fixed nav section is pretty slick. I like how it just folds down to "nav" for mobile screen widths too.

FAAL

Very nice portfolio site. I really dig the dark design and the simple way the title of the work is presented overly large like that. Very cool.

96 Elephants

Beautiful website for a good cause. I really like how the petition slide-out menu works, kind of following you down the page as you scroll end bouncing out when you click. Beautiful photography too. Sign it and maybe save an elephant man!

clemson.edu

Really nice Responsive design solution for a major university website. The website is so huge (like most Univ. sites are) that i'm not going to go into any subpage stuff. The main thing I want to point out is the way the navigation is worked into the hero area as a...

Metalab

I really like the overall simplicity in this design. It get's you to the point really really fast. I think it boarders on being too subtle at times, but that's not always a bad thing 🙂 I love the visual rhythm in the work page the most. They could keep stacking work...

AG Leader

You see these nice responsive sites with their sticky nav and circular images and slick transitions and think, "Yeah, that's cool, they did everything right." I'll be honest, you don't typically see this much content loaded in and still embody those nice details in...

Elixr

Neat app site design. I really like how the top navigation comes from the bottom(ish) of the space you see after the initial home page area loads. Sliding up to take it's place at the top of the page. Then the slight parallax behind each screenshot, then how you can...

Engine Yard

Beautiful redesign of the Engine Yard website. What I like to read most is that they focused on the content first and dug into what people needed to get out of the website before any sort of fanciness. We also dug deep into our site and found what worked for visitors...

We Are Mammoth

The We Are Mammoth website is a simple site that feels tight and focused in content, clear in message and definitive in style. Not much more to say. Good stuff.

Drew Wilson

Drew Wilson's portfolio site is a delightful experience. From the first few examples of products down to just digging through his project timeline it's smart and easy to take in. Well done sir.

Swatch SI System Watch

Fun product page for the Swatch SI System Watch. It makes strong use of timed animated images of the watches, letting you get a sense of their tactile quality as you scroll. I also dig the map, click on a store location to see the way the map responds. It's subtle but...

Beoplay H3

Beoplay's H3 site site is truly beautiful. I'm often against the practice of hijacking the user's ability to scroll, but the effect works really well on this site. Every 'page' is clean and minimal, but provides a very different user experience. The videos are lush...

howmuchtomakeanapp.com

This site/app is so dang simple it hurts. It's beautifully done, you could use it to send to a prospect so they understand pricing across the industry. The icon work is great, coloring is great and there's no barrier to use - you just answer questions and click...

No Way NSA

The Now Way NSA page is largely a big infographic/news piece. It's worth a look through other than to review the design of it, but the design of it is great. Now go and get enraged at the NSA.

psdesignuk.com

This is a great site with beautifully simple interactions. The hover overlays on the work are really soft and lovely and the flat art is engaging without being distracting.

Big Spaceship

Very cool and slick looking design studio website. I love the main nav design too, how it takes over the design of the page but is super snappy and responsive to your interaction. The fixed logo/nav block that floats in the same position as you access sub pages is...
