Web Design Inspiration Curated
Strikingly
I like the minimal approach mixed with the full on product tour in the middle section of this site design. You start and finish with the same form layout as you scroll through the page. I also study sign up forms a good deal and I like the horizontal layout of the...
8faces
The whole point and appeal of 8 Faces is the tactile, printed objects that they produce, so much so that the website might seem like an afterthought regardless of how well it's designed. Luckily it's a great example of simple, effective design. The purpose is to sell...
emma
There's a lot going on with this website design. There are so many different nav items and little things that you can click on, in a lot of ways it suffers the same issues that most big product websites do: too much stuff. They do a good job with keeping the call to...
Squidee
Squidee helps designers send PSDs to frontend developers. The aesthetic of this site is pretty nice. There's a very clean use of shape and color which is balanced nicely with the amount and prominence of the type. I like the progression of content, and I dig the...

Oooooo, lovely morphing/animating logo on Finch15 finch15.com Make sure ya scroll. (thx @themaninblue) — Daniel Burka (@dburka) April 16, 2013 Okay, so. lovely little site. I like pretty much everything about it (except, maybe, a slight overuse of the word...
Nathaniel Deal
I like how the site is designed to be deceptively simple. It starts off with what looks like just a big head shot of Nathaniel but then as you click around you notice it's intricacies and how the side nav is design. Then you start to scroll and notice the load in...
Billy Kick
I really like all the detail work put into this design. It's well done visually, the visual branding is superb, and it's also executed well from a build p.o.v. I like the fixed nav and how it fades into view as well as the simple approach to how the site presents the...
Shaun Dona
I like a site that largely lets the work speak for itself. Shaun's work is clearly very nice. I especially like the 'scroll to reveal text content' effect that is created by the full screen imagery. The site has some problems at mobile sizes ( I'm looking at it on...
Russell Lands on Lake Martin
I love a real estate website that's not afraid to scroll. That's probably a weird statement to read but do your research and check out some other real estate sites... This design also starts off with an almost oversized set of images/slide show and then get's more...
webflow
Yes, it's not often we feature a 'coming soon' page here on UMS but this one is very well done. I love how they've taken the product and the RWD building process and just told the story of the app around that. Both visually and copy wise that narrative is told in a...
Pixel Lab
Really fun and simple layout. The main illustration/animation is funny and worked over well. Dang, it's got to be awesome to put 'cut the rope' on your home page as client work. My favorite part is the post card designed contact form. Also ASCII FTW!
Escape Flight
I love the way the search is put together on this site. Human logic based or whatever you'd call that. Also the interactions are quite nicely done. The slight parallax on the main slideshow images is great and not overused and the photos are just brilliant. The one of...
invision
What a nice slick design. The content of the blog is tied into the main slideshow imagery which also matches up with the purpose of the product. Dang, that's some meta design thinking there fellas. I love it. I also love the well timed animation of the content...
Carlos Ousa
I love the solid blocky feel to the elements on the page here. The rich graphic vibe and the limited color palette make for some nice design in this case. The little interactions are also well used and not overly so.
Amazon Guyane Park
I like the rich photography and the way it's used to time up with the "river based navigation". It almost feels like a parallax style design but it's not, I dig that. I also like how the nav kinda goes away and you then come to rely on the river links.
ThinkLuke
I love the "mouse follow" animation, i'm not sure what to call that, worked into the main image and slide show on the home page. They've managed to make it look cool with the photography. I also like the diagonals and greens worked into the page as you scroll down it....
My Poor Brain
Nice simple display of the artist's work with a clean grid and minimal color palette. But it's the little details, the RWD and the interactions on the title shapes that complete the design and make it feel so finished and polished. Great work here. Submitted by: Tim...
Sputnik
I love the start graphic feel to this site and the minimal color palette is just great. The lead in animation with the logo and slide up to the fixed navigation give this site a nice vibe of technical sophistication. I also like the clearly differentiated sections of...
Facebook Home
This website for Facebook Home is just a visual feast. Yes, it has all the Facebook visual brand baked in but it's beautiful. The video in the background for the top of the page and the slide up fixed navigation design bringa nice level of fancy to this simple feeling...
Roynel
This site feels pretty smooth/slick to use. I like the slider on the home page and the way the nav slides up to be fixed in position. Then all the sub pages are well designed and cleanly executed. I like this less is more approach to the layout with the nice...
