Web Design Inspiration Curated

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...

Hashrocket

I really dig the Hashrocket site design. It's concise but not minimal, it's functional but not trendy. Lovely! It's just fine looking working website which is something I really like. There's plenty of nice illustration pieces across the site to be interesting too....

Cyclemon

The simple, slightly art deco vibe of this site is really cool. The type is beautifully done and its great how the site engages as you scroll down. It really makes you want to scroll down to the bottom, and there's even a bit of a punchline at the end. That said, by...

Pirates d’eau douce

Pirates d'eau douce is a fun site to say the least. I really enjoy the subtle animated characters and the playful branding of each of their apps. Blink, blink.

Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen

Just another polished, parallax site with beautiful imagery and svelte typography. Ho hum. 🙂 Doesn't mean we can't call it out for being nice, right? Either way, it's got a nice feel and I appreciate subtle details like the rotating images and the progressively...

5d Institute

I was immediately drawn to this website by its unusual use of the grid on the larger screened “desktop” layout. The navigation and logo area are split into two 50% columns. This simplicity allows other elements to be moved purposefully “off grid”. It’s eye-catching,...

whiteboard.is

Man this site is mind blowing. It's really simple in it's layout and visual framework but it's just so chock full of cool stuff to look at. I really love the scrolling videos in the background they help tell the story so quickly without really telling it. That's some...

Mezzolab

Mezzolab is a nice modern portfolio site with attractive ice cream colors. Many of the interactions are fairly standard: rollovers with detailed information on the portfolio links, static nav, scaling logo, etc., but the complete package is impressive. The design...

Creative Jar

Dern. This site has a lot going on at once. I really like to see designs that push conventions into new territory and creativejar have done that in a few ways. The layout of the homepage content is modular, but only loosely structured. This is interesting, but if...

VCU.edu

The new VCU site (specifically the home page) is chock full of info that's nicely organized and presented. Despite all that's going on here, I feel like they struck a good balance between practical and promotional elements. Even more impressive is the publicity of the...

The Eephus League

The Eephus League website is damn pretty. When you get down to it, the site is fairly simple and straight-forward: big, lovely imagery, interesting throwback typography, and just enough small details to keep things interesting; but simple and straight-forward does not...

aurea

Aurea is simple, clean and highly readable. I really enjoy the minimal palette and open layout. It's a tight design with lots of contemporary details and a well designed aesthetic. Very nice. Cute dog too.

Image Conscious Studios

This site is a beautiful mix of energetic, graphic type and low fidelity imagery. The effect is a highly dynamic scrolling experience with small blocks of content flowing by in counterpoint to large dramatic imagery. I enjoy the sense of humor and technical savvy. The...

The Band Agency

I don't know these guys, but I already love them. This site is funny as hell, but serious. I take them seriously. Seriously.... But seriously, the design has more character and fun that you can shake a stick at. And it looks good at all sizes. And it's well designed....

Do

I really love the simplicity of the Do site design. It's boiled down to just what's needed. The overall palette is muted, but not really which is a clever understatement to work into the design. I also dig the Features page, I like how it goes from just showing a...

netnibbles

netnibbl.es takes simplicity to heart. The site is dead simple in layout, design and detailing, but the effect is sophisticated none-the-less. While differentiating post categories via color has it's usability issues, netnibbl.es does a good job of adding an...

Electric Pulp

I'm always a fan of Electric Pulp's work, their company website designs have always delivered as well. Often being copied outright - which you know what they say about imitation and flattery... This site design follows a trend of simplifying the overall design. At...

Uber

The new Uber site design is slick and upscale. Nice use of the slideshow IMHO, the images are something out of vogue and adds to the visual branding that they're rolling with. The site is a stark black and white design with a hint of of the blue/green color used for...

Burciaga & Co.

Super sleek and fairly minimal the Burciaga website looks great. I really like how it starts off primarily muted in colors with the grays, then as you interact with it and scroll you get colors. The design is primarily made up of the examples of work samples which is...

faktory

I really dig the smooth nature of this layout. It looks visually complete as you scroll down and/or click through different sections of the page. I do think it lacks in content, for example I want more on the pricing section. I get that they need to consult with you a...
