Web Design Inspiration Curated

Wistia

This is a great example of how you can use a simple game like experience to create something memorable. Go ahead, click the colored boxes, they "pop" like one of those addicting games on your phone. The overall website experience is superb for a product/company site...

OX

Great design and vibe throughout this site design. I like the transitions between screen widths too. Loud coloring to help push the products as well as bold previews of the artwork itself.

Obsurfation

I'm not a surfer, nor live near an ocean, but if I did i'd use this app just because of the website. I love the slight animation of the waves and the little mouse interactions here and there.

Subtraction

New site design for Subtraction, which is Khoi Vinh's personal website. Know to be pretty prolific in writing posts i've been a visitor to his blog for years. The new site follows the same basic form that the old one did with the black and white treatment and lines....

CodeKit

The CodeKit page/site is one of the better product pages i've seen. Plenty of good design down the page, animation, funny little sections and a superb overview of the guts of the app itself.

Brave People

Nice slick feel to the design. I like the soft almost washed out colors, almost black and white feel to the design. Things move well and the rhythm is good as you make your way down the page. I also really dig the plan a project form.

Frank Chimero

The latest version of Frank Chimero's personal website is just great. I love that it's largely traditional in that the nav is just there on the left, in text form, for anyone to see and click. It's this kind of understated beauty that reminds me why I love what I do....

Fjord Trends

What a great reading experience the Fjord Trends site turns out to be. Both on the desktop and your mobile device. I love how the stories flow with nice bold blocks of imagery then "fold" out so you can read them right there. The tracking nav on the right side (when...

Squarespace Blog

The Squarespace Blog is very simple at first glance. Keeping all the relevant content for the post (or most recent post) front and center. You can slide open a list of past posts, that have nice little hover effects of the images. On the right is the now standard...

Barista Prima

So... as soon as I saw this site, I fired up the Keurig. The black, white, gray and coffee brown immediately put me in a mood to enjoy coffee. The entire site is centered around the brand's tagline: "Rich. Dark. European." The background images, the parallax effects,...

Magnetic

Really cool looking mix of tight straight edges and hand made type treatments, mixed with the sepia colored imagery. This site has a nice hand made feel but also very high end. The slight movement of the images behind the type overlays add that extra little dimension...

Tectonica

Engaging illustrative website. There's also plenty of interaction stuff happening on the home page to keep you interested. The thing I like most is that it's not intrusive at all. You can engage with it by continuing to scroll or not. The look and feel of the site is...

helloduo.com

Really super simple page. Normally something this scaled back wouldn't make it into the gallery, but wait - click the "features" link. That's why it's in here. Very smart effect.

Toby’s Story

The Toby's Story site is just fun. There's really no functional aspect to it, like a call to action or newsletter signup but you know what I don't care. It's cute and exists solely just to be a fun little experiment. I always love seeing that there's someone out there...

Astorino Architects

Great new site launched for Astorino Architects from the mighty Bearded Studio team. I love the clean layout and responsive design decisions made between the different screen widths. There's a good bit to study and apply from this sit to all of our projects....

Realtii

Realtii does a great job of using animation to focus the user's attention on key details. The colors are soft and friendly. A pleasant site with simple detailing.

Jaieff

There's a lot to like about this website. But the best part is the interactive illustration on the home page. It's pretty fun to mouse over that little gear and get all the arrows and stuff to show up. Also check it out on smaller screen widths, the stuff that get's...

Caramel Budgie

Man I love these illustrations! Super slick and both clean and illustrative at the same time. I like that it's a single page layout - that works pretty well for this instance. Enough eye candy and simplicity to get the site to work for them.

Adam Woodhouse

The Adam Woodhouse website is clearly a design intended to impress with lush, complex animations and a strong graphical sensibility. Not responsive, but beautiful nonetheless. Plus, Bender.

Zaarly Employee Handbook

Nothing super rule breaking about this but it's become commonplace for companies to put things like their employee handbook or benefits info on a website or resource like that. The Zaarly Employee Handbook is just sexy. Nothing more needed to say about it other than...
