Web Design Inspiration Curated

Blue Acorn

Really cool interactive illustration for you to play with. It's super rewarding to watch the building sections drop down onto the map thing. (Maybe i'm just easy to entertain...) It's stuff like this that can keep people on the page longer which is a good goal to work...

Square

The updated Square website (it'll probably change a bit by the time we post this) is excellently done. The main top section is used to tell the story of what's going on right now with square. Usually involving some sort of tricky interaction or animation. Then the...

NineLabs

New site for NineLabs. One of the strongest factors working on this site are all the testimonials. It really feels like this team is on the ball and really delivers quality to get so many great referrals to put on the page like this. The visual aspects of the design...

igor

There are some really great interactions here. You are rewarded for clicking through the main "what igor is" graphic prompts with great looking illustrations. Very engaging. The second sub-block of what the product is about are also well done. I love how the...

redbullet

Nice minimal(ish) design. I really like the interaction where the top nav area get's highlighted by changing to a red background only when you scroll back up. Just to give you that hint that it's there. Then the hamburger icon leads to one of those full overlay nav...

Pencil

Wonderful design for Pencil. This page is just a workshop of how to use super engaging interactions to feature a real life product. I luuurve the way the Pencil product is shown off by letting you explode it apart simply by scrolling the page up or down. Then you can...

Pascal van Gemert

Very beautiful and cleverly designed resume page. I really dig how the down arrow in the bottom right turns into the page's navigation. There's some really subdued interaction design with the starts and icons as you make your way towards the bottom of the page, just...

Brandisty

The Brandisty website design walks the line between whimsical and corporate very well. The layout and typography has a very nice solid feel to it while the animations and little illustration work keep it very personable. This is hard to do well and they deliver with...

Streamline Icons

Beautiful icons, but moreover the website really shows off the work. The way the images/icons load with an animated delivery is nicely done too. It keeps your attention on the page as you make your way down and somehow keeps you focused on looking at the icons. Smart...

Matthew Carleton

I really dig the vibe of this website both visually and the content. It's a fairly simple design but just chock full of spit and polish. That's what makes it so damn beautiful.

Vimeo Player

Vimeo's page to show off the player. Man is it well done and beautifully executed. I love the timed/targeted animations the pages uses to help tell the story about the player. Such a clever way to deliver the narrative here. Keeps me interested all the way down the...

Nautilus

Such a great looking editorial design. Nautilus is basically a magazine that's published both online and in print. It's feel is very rich without being overly "interactive" - great design and solid story telling, this is awesome stuff.

Trippeo

What a great experience the Trippeo website is. It is succinctly designed but rich visually. The timed animations that fire off as you scroll down the page are great and there is no real "scroll hijacking" to speak of. The signup page is super well executed design and...

Mati Menkes

Clever use of the "fold out nav" on the left side of the page. It has the interaction of being opened and closed but it doesn't feel hidden for hidden's sake, if that makes any sense... I like the responsive design details and the E.T. illustration on the contact form...

AWASU Design

A really great graphically rich design that isn't overkill visually. There is a clear focus on intent, they work really hard to focus you where they want you to go and there's not a lot of excess noise to distract you from that path. I like the illustration of the...

Artem Artemov

Great portfolio site design. I like the choice to keep it a single page. I also like the fixed nav/header design. Then the large and simplified contact form is placed well and looks great.

Haunted Hills

Just a fun addition to the gallery here. I love the parallax vibe connected to the mouse movement. Fun stuff all around.

Focus Lab

I lurrrrve the new Focus Lab site design. It's full of minimal beauty and some very thoughtful interactions. Simple stuff, like the "get started" form link on the footer, check out that dropdown to start off the conversation on working with these guys. Smart stuff.

Editorially

This may not sound like the smartest review; but I love websites that are mostly words and wind up feeling like they are graphically rich. The Editorially site does just that. It's a website selling and app that's built for writing where all the crud of a word...

Curadmir

Curadmir is a whole lot to take in at one glance. It has a lot of visual moving parts and is filled with little visual treats that pop up as you interact with the content. It also utilizes video to nicely create a bit of narrative to the content. It's also kind of...
