Web Design Inspiration Curated

Spektrum

Spektrum is a beautiful site with tons of eye candy. The canvas animations on the homepage are stellar. They overflow with character and cleverness. I can't get enough of that kind of thing. I really enjoy the way that they've worked up the 'expertise' page as well....

Camera Noir

Great touch here… The background and the shot in the camera are the same: pacifichelm.com/cameranoir (via @uptonic)— Jason Fried (@jasonfried) June 4, 2013 I like the idea of this page design, use elements of the photos from the iPhone display of the app in the...

mengto

Mengto is a study is awesome transitions. The work is clearly beautiful and conceptual. I love the texture and open design. Designers often talk about creating 'delight'. The animations that slide every element into place upon page load creates that for me.

Riot Industries

Some really nice fun subtle design stuff in the header of this site: riotindustries.com— Chris Coyier (@chriscoyier) June 4, 2013 I couldn't agree more with Chris. The header is a beautiful example of adding a dimension of animation/interactivity and not going...

I Shot Him

I pretty much love everything about this site. The art, the colors, the subtle type sensibilities and spacing. The site's architecture is interesting as well with beautiful landing images for every project and content area. Truly inspired stuff. Plus, the...

Magician Slider

We don't post a lot of templates here. But I just dig this one enough to post for some reason. Maybe because it has a bit of everything you might need in it. Good starting point if you were to customize it. Though I didn't look too deeply at the code behind it. What...

Indochino

Nice responsive site design that relies pretty heavy on large images. Somehow they're able to make the images scale down and not have all the type completely cover up the product and make it look easily done at the same time. Love that.

Clearsite

Nice clean design. I like the hard angles across this design mixed with the cool colors that make it up. This layout feels very high end which is clearly the character this company is trying to portray - they nailed it.

Dunked

I think what I like most about this design is that it's "flat" - just kidding. Was that funny? Seriously, what I like most is the vertical rhythm of the site as you scroll down. The way the pieces of the layout are positioned feel very nice and weighted just right....

Interactive Ear

This site is wonderful. It's a perfect marriage of incredible art, information, and interaction. I often find that designers working with information make an arbitrary distinction between content and artwork. The artwork is treated as a supplement to the 'real'...

Paid

Super great simple layout that is close to that "apple" feel but kind of only uses it for the good stuff and then brings in it's own good stuff. I really love how the page just keeps it simple and shows you the screens of the app, like BLAM there you go, snag it. It...

Case 3D

Pretty cool look with the scroll effect (dare I call it a parallax?). I also like the monochromatic palette for the layout with the full color images blocked in.

Jordan Sparrow

I love the Jordan Sparrow site design. The black frame and the stark lines really play well off the background video which is set in place as you scroll down. The bold lines in the design and type match up perfectly to give me something to remember the site by days...

PetSafe

Really stoked to see the new PetSafe site launched. @bold did all the #RWD and CMS buildout.d.pr/ZPlu — Noah Stokes (@motherfuton) May 15, 2013 Really great larger commercial example of a responsive solution working great. I particularly like how this site...

stroemme.net

I'm seeing a few new design trends like this one, where there's basically a splash page but it's executed as an oversized header area. Pretty clever, like this one, which reminds me of a cylon's eye for some reason. That alone is enough to make me like it, but it's...

7 Minute

Pretty cool single page website design. The way there is a slight parallax feel to the header, then the way the nav slides into place is very well done. I also like the simple different views designed for the smaller screen widths. My favorite is the green color and...

Fieldwork

What a beautiful site Fieldwork is. It's so simple yet full of detail. I love the soft transition between pages, which I can't see working on another site as well as here. Then each page while similar is just a bit different enough to show it's all been made with care.

4th Park Studios

The 4th Park Studios site is a great design. There's a great feeling for timing as you scroll down the page, which makes it feel very complete. The site looks like it's based on this theme, but they've changed it out and used it as a base. Overall the site is quite...

CSS Day

What a great simple concept for a conference website. It's super appropriately designed for the audience and for the subject matter. I LOVE stuff like this. I'll also let Cameron Moll's quote do the explanin': Also, click the speaker's name and watch the content...

Playground

Wonderfully worked animations as you scroll down the home page. They keep it responsive as well which is great. I like the article on how they created their new brand for Playground as well.
