Web Design Inspiration Curated

LessConf 2013

I love the LessConf guys, Alan and Steve. They put on a great conference (if you can call it that) and each year they utilize pretty fun and far out illustrations. It's almost theme like, but generally just fun. This year it's an animated under sea adventure/monster...

BoomTown!

had a blast working with the talented team over @boomtownroi on our recent launch. really proud of this one. boomtownroi.com— {e} house studio (@ehousestudio) January 16, 2013 Nice soft colors with a strong call-to-action makes this site look like a...

Mailchimp 2012 Annual Report

Nice work @seriousron and @aarron at @mailchimp mailchimp.com/2012/— Matthew Smith (@whale) January 16, 2013 Beautiful Annual Report website from Mailchimp. It is full of the humor and love that they put into everything they do. Damn, I just love these guys so...

Clearleft

What a great re-launch of one of the companies I've watched for several years help lead our industry. The new Clearleft site is a thing of beauty. It's simplified yet not too much, it has some complex(ish) interactions with the slideshow and detailed links in it, but...

Disney

Congratulations to @dromano, @fillup, and the whole team on the slick new design for disney.com that launched today! (finally!)— Jesse James Garrett (@jjg) October 1, 2012 The new Disney.com site rolled out late in 2012. There's been a lot of linking and posts...

Hugs For Monsters

The latest update for Hugs For Monsters, the website of Joe Lifrieri @hugsformonsters, has me all smiles. From the initial loading/animation of the main art on the home page to the about page's illustration and content. Joe is always down to earth and real to me when...

A Book Apart

I've long thought the A Book Apart site was well done but it felt a little too plain, just my gut feeling. With this re-work and it's not a total redesign, but just enough to tweak it and make it responsive it's truly a nice minimal(ish) execution of just the right...

rexstudio

Nice responsive and parallax execution here. I like the side nav that takes you to the page's anchor points. Very cleverly done indeed. Nice colors and visual experience too.

Microsoft

I'm remiss in not including the Microsoft site before the end of 2012. It's one of the best redesigns rolled out last year IMHO. Today I get to tell you that @paravelinc has been working with @microsoft to help build their new responsive homepage: microsoft.com —...

TinyPass

Really like the design of this site, tinypass: d.pr/mZeq— Noah Stokes (@motherfuton) January 4, 2013 TinyPass is a really great site. I like that its got that Apple vibe but also has its own heart too. The slideshow is well done and feels fresh with the way...

Forge and Smith

Really great straight forward site design for the web design firm Forge and Smith. Clean type and great visual balance make this site very easy on the eyes. I like the focus on clean and crisp execution and less fanciness. Love this site.

Inky

Pretty cool looking email app. Aside from that, the site design is a nice example of putting the full narrative from screenshot down to FAQ type content. I like how it flows both copy and visually.

Tedx GUC

Amazingly entertaining home page scrolling layout. They've kept it super creative and full of wonderful illustrations and in the stark black & red coloring of the Tedx sites. The other pages are as charismatic as the home too. I love this Tedx site.

Epic Body Designs

I love when I see a non-designer website that's as good looking as a web designer's portfolio design. Like the site here for Epic Body Designs. It employs a lot of the typical design solution stuff we see on other designer's portfolio sites or web app product sites...

1:Face Watch

I dig the long scrolling page approach of the 1:Face Watch website. The photography is inspired IMHO and the other smart move was putting a "purchase" call to action next to every section of the page.

Made By Few

The Made By Few site employs a nice fairly minimal design. I like the blue for the call to action and the other black, white and grey helps to make other details like the speakers images really stand out. I like the progressive loading as you scroll too. Capped off...

delval.edu

The @happycog-designed responsive redesign of delval.edu is seriously stunning. Love. /via @zeldman— Responsive Design (@RWD) December 19, 2012 I love the visual style of this site. It's blocky and squared off and generally feels very graphic. I dig the fixed...

BuySellAds Pro

Beautiful design from a great company.pro.buysellads.com— allan branch (@allanbranch) December 20, 2012 Like Allan said, this design is beautiful. I like the vertical spacing of the elements, the clean color palette, the clear narrative of what BySellAds Pro is...

Hunie

It's a pretty standard design, big hero image, slider, long scrolling page. But what this design does well is rhythm, from the top nav bar down to the footer it just sings to me visually. I like how it goes from heavy dark background to light, do clean icons from big...

Snowbird

Well that's a nice looking' site. snowbird.com via @alliwagner— Chris Coyier (@chriscoyier) December 11, 2012 Agreed, it's an amazing experience as you use it. The interactions are spot on and even more it's fun to use. That's what's going to win business in the...
