Web Design Inspiration Curated
Robby Leonardi
Both his portfolio and resume are cool, but mainly go check out the resume page of this site. Fantastic stuff. This is a really neat take on a single page website design that employs scrolling as primary navigation across the site. Great illustration work and cool...
teamtreehouse.com
Newly updated design for Treehouse. The design is incredibly focused and direct yet at the same time the photography and illustrations are open and inviting feeling. The color palette also plays on the essence of making you feel relaxed. Good responsive work here too,...
Thoughtbot
The Thoughtbot site is a really good experience. It's simple and fast to browse and really feels like a "content" or "mobile" first approach. Which is interesting to me, since this is what they do, it's a good idea to really show that off for potential clients and...
Rog.ie
Rogie's site is a nice example of keeping things simple and straightforward and also fine detail work. This is the stuff he's known for. There are a lot of little interaction details built into the website that add a great deal to the experience. This is a great...
diy.org
This site is all kinds of interesting. It teaches kids new skills and through the power of social media, it connects them to others that share their interests. Honestly, it looks like a heckuva lot of fun for any age. The design is solid - with 3 streamlined paths you...
Sass
The new Sass site! It's what you'd expect, good quality simple design. The new logo is quite nice, very succinct and direct, it's a good mark. Nice illustration of the glasses too. This site has to do so much, it has to be easy to read through, fast to get to and...
socialdesignhouse.com
I've always like the video on Social's home page, so I'm glad they've found ways to utilize it with each redesign of the site. I especially like the consideration they take when the site's viewed on a smaller device. It's smartly responsive, and not having the video...
Jesters Wild
Really simple execution and layout for this portfolio site but overall I really dig it. Slight animation on the text and then the slight parallax on the top most background image give it some really nice details. Down to the bottom with the skills graph - this being...
Acko.net
You've all probably seen this site already. It HAS to be in the UMS gallery for posterity. Simply badass IMHO - 'nuff said.
Mixd
This site shows the agency’s design philosophy by comparing their online design work to simple, functional, perfectly designed offline products. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. This concept is reinforced through the website by using bold, strong colours, an...
Sallee Design
Nicely executed with tons of little details. The site is clever and really show's off the designer's sense of humor and quality of work well.
nav.co
A rather straight forward site design, using some of the latest cool stuff. But something about it, maybe the clean layout and/or easy going vertical rhythm makes it sing to me. My favorite part is the "clients" drop down section under the header. Very clever.
Designer’s Atlas
Interesting visual narrative as you scroll. Letting the line take you on a trip through the content is clever and I'm not sure i've seen something like this done quite this way yet. Neat.
Lullabot
I love the simply stated yet perfectly executed design of the Lullabot website. The rhythm of this site is superb as you scroll down the page. Everything just queues up perfectly for you. The site starts off as a place to get into what type of work the firm does, then...
Trust Co Axes
What a great website. First off it's about Axes, which are just cool to think about and use. The design of the site has lots of little surprises but executed in a simple way. The main nav has these great large icons that are worked into the drop-down navigation lists....
Experience Whiskey
Super simple design but I love the illustration work and limited feel to the layout while being ornate at the same time. It's almost like whiskey itself, simple yet full of volume when it comes to taste.
Uber Digital
Pretty standard layout here but it has enough little bells and whistles to keep it feeling quite fresh. I love the slight squeeze that the main nav across the top does as you scroll down. It's enough to make you notice it and follow it. The rest of the layout down the...
Fostr
It's hard to tell exactly what Fostr is quite yet, but it's some sort of iOS app for people to 'Support, follow and cultivate creativity'. The site is pleasingly clean with nice colorful and poppy icons. I like how there's a lot of space and minimal copy. If I'm going...
getpure
I have now seen everything. Pure is a hookup app with no illusions about it's intended purpose: booty calls. So, there's that. Now lets talk about the site! getpure.org/en is a slick little single page scroller that snaps to particular scroll heights. The scrolling...
Frostbite
First of all: Badass domain name. Second: Frostbite 3 looks like it'll blow your hair back and then some and I can't wait to see it on the next generation of consoles. I'm a gamer and it looks beautiful. Third: Pretty nice site. Game studio/engine sites are usually...
