Web Design Inspiration Curated
Hooraylabs
Submitted by: Christophe dumont @hooraylabs Role: Designer & Developer Really simple page here. Honestly there's not much, but boy what's here is fun and smart. I love the city scape with the airplane animation.
WHIP WordPress Theme
We don't post too many theme designs here on UMS. I happen to like this one on it's design merits alone. The circle design elements work really well to me once you get past the main hero image/slider. I can take or leave the main navigation design but it's all well...

Colours Move
Submitted by: Kristoffe Biglete @kristoffe_ Role: Designer & Developer Colours Move is a portfolio, and has a minimalist design, with a strong visual identity. The palette is very contrasted, with a mix of bright and light colours. It is conceived in a grid layout. I...
LLT Group
Submitted by: Tony Zipparro @LLTGroup Role: Designer I do like the bold graphic look of this design. The strong leaning illustration work and type works well together. They also bring it pretty well with copy and packaging themselves well. The message might be a bit...
CircularChaos
Submitted by: Balraj Chana @circularchaos Role: Designer I like how all the links and sections are presented in this design. The icons and mouse overs are nice. I also really dig the experience section towards the bottom of the page.
Buy My Last Name
Jason is crazy. But Jason has a cool website. I like the colors most of all they're very inviting and mixed with the imagery it works really well. Good choice on keeping it a simple one pager too. Nice!
teamgeek
Nice prototypical type design but I like the minimal palette and the fixed nav interaction. Nice icons and general look and feel.
Tyler Finck
This site is a great example of setting the user up for great surprises. The home page is slick but rather minimal in it's appearance but you are treated to all sorts of cool images and a nice layout when you get to looking at the portfolio and about page(s). Well...
Salisbury Christian Church
This is an interesting problem to solve. There are several networks or resource website and then a few sub-page type sections that all have to be tied together. This solution, using this page as a hybrid splash page of sorts, with an interesting interaction for the...
Inmo
There's not a ton of interactivity or special effects going on with this design, it's just a nice reminder for me that you can always make a nice solid simple design in and of it'self. I love the crisp icon/illustration work for the nav items and that header with the...
Muita
Bold colors and simple copy help sell this company even if I can't speak the language. It's a nice simple yet bold interaction design that has a nice feel to it. I like the little contact envelope that rolls out to be more info in the bottom right the most.
New Hope
This new site launch by SimpleFocus is very intriguing to me. It has a nice simplified feeling to the layout visually but there's still just about as much "stuff" on the page as any typical site I've seen. I can't help but think this is largely derived from the...
Saocucar
Bold colors and interactions make up this great website for Saocucar. Nice fixed header/nav and bold colors for each section are matched with strong typography to make for a compelling visual treat as you make your way to the bottom of the page.
Free People Christmas Boutiques
Using a scrolling page with a parallax design isn't new but I really love how this page is using those same tools. The little screen shots front and center really help to drive you to a section of the page, you just can't help but click on them. Then the visuals as...
Burke Miller Wedding
I like the big bold blocky layout. It reminds me of a wedding photo album but doesn't go too far over the top with the visual metaphor. I like that a great deal. Nice responsive solution here too.
Stacked Font
Great site showing off the font in question. Stacked Font, it's fun and super easy to take in. I like the long scrolling page format that let's you explore as you make your way down. Fun!
PJ O’Reilly’s
Pretty cool looking design for a restaurant/bar here. It's responsive which I just super love to see in sites designed for restaurants and bars like this. I dig the dark color palette and blocky type as well, it kinda fits my mental model of what an irish pub would be...
Blast Processor
I love the red color and texture used for the main intro section and header for the Blast Processor site. I also like how the header slides into a fixed position and at the same time the main nav slides to the right. Overall a nice clean layout that works well in most...
Webdesigner Depot
The latest redesign of Webdesigner Depot is pretty epic. Parallax based art in the header, a stark change in layout and it's responsive. The site is very much worthy of some in-depth study for sure. My favorite part of this design is the large buttons near the footer...
