Web Design Inspiration Curated
Lauri Liimatta
Submitted by: Lauri Liimatta @laurilii Role: Designer & Developer My new redesigned portfolio. Responsive design and powered by Kirby CMS. I like the design approach of going light to dark from top to bottom, or light to dense visually. However you want to look at it....

"Brady Williams, a chef in Dallas, TX, shows his craftsmanship and passion for the culinary arts in this elegantly simple website. Personal sites tend to focus on the maker first, and the things created second. Not so here. Brady shows his passion, he doesn't have to...
Dusty Cartridge
I like the blocky type design of this blog. It looks like it may be a theme but that doesn't take away from it being a nice design. The logo is bold and the nav matches it in simplicity visually. Nice responsive layout too.
Haatch
Interesting single pager. Chock full of bright colors and solid looking illustrations/icons. I like the fixed nav on the left, it's a nav design i've seen before but it just looks like it fits here better than others. There are some sections where the black text on...
Siyelo
I like the contrast between the dark background in the top half and the white in the bottom half. It's a nice responsive layout too, check out how those main 4 icon/sections change when targeting different screen widths yo. I also really dig how there is consistency...
New Babylon
I like the way the lines used in this design and the big blocks of color or no color work together. Even into the type it feels unified yet unbalanced. Rich yet minimal that's how i'd describe this design. Lovely.
Cirka Theater
Cool vibe to this scroller website. I really dig how there's a slight parallax thing going on with the show sections/images, it really helps give it some depth interaction wise. The flip over effect on the lightbox windows for the show details is unexpected yet fun....
An-Ni Wang
This website represents a great mixture of going too far yet being minimal (almost) at the same time. I love the humor built in and the movement as you scroll down the page. It's hard to take in some of the content with all the movement but I think the fun approach...
My Dirty Desk
This site design is all about the scroll. By engineering the design and illustration layout to work so well with the scrolling of the page it's just turned into a great experience visually. I scrolled around on this thing for a good 5 or 10 minutes too, lovely work...
Modernizr
I gave Modernizr․com a small facelift: faster, less finicky, clearer intro text. Enjoy! modernizr.com— Faruk Ateş (@KuraFire) July 20, 2012 Been meaning to put the Modernizr site in the gallery for a while now. Faruk does a great job keeping the site alive...
Giant Ant
Nice simple and effective website design, it does what it needs to do and packs it in with a clear yet dense layout. I like the way these guys are selling themselves as a "storytelling" agency, that's a fun and compelling message to me. Love the wood background for...
Enochs
An unexpected responsive design here. It's one of a few sites i've seen recently that takes a lot of the same RWD patterns and adds a layer of decoration on top of it (with the ship captain/fisherman theme) and pulls it off really well. I love the hook that takes you...
MonkeyTag
I like this website because it's not overly fancy. It has a strong graphic punch and some neat visuals that have been clearly crafted by hand, like the timeline section. It's a nice example of a website doing what it needs to do for you.
Tobias Van Schneider
I like the moody darkness of this website. The interaction of the X that loads over the work samples is nice and has a good feel to it as you mouse around. The mood board is a clever look into who this designer is and the blog is a superb minimal example IMHO. Love it.
Spokes
Just a fantastic way to share the narrative of what a 'pedi cab' is and how it all works. Beautiful illustrations and scrolling based animations, just wonderful to look at.
We Work on Sunday
Fun website! I like the duotone color look as well as the way the scrolling is designed. Also cool way to display the work, in the monitors like that, it's not new to see but in this instance it feels fresh somehow - maybe it's the boomerangs?
Acorn
There's a lot to like about this design. The animation of the rows of houses spinning in a big circle like that is used perfectly in conjunction with the rest of the otherwise static feeling design. The design doesn't beat you over the head with the animation either....
Flex Pantech
Via: Bob Galmarini on Dribbble Really fun little microsite / landing page for the Pantech Flex went live today. Check out the screen swap to show off the different phone UI. What a great website design. It's just a single pager or microsite as they're called but it's...
Work Turn
Nice asymmetrical yet super balanced feeling design. From the colors, the yellow and black with that blue is striking - can you make colors feel asymmetrical too? Super clean look and feel with some superb type handling pitched in for good measure.
Parenteau SF Journey
This is a tale of a Designer/Developer that went on a trip to meet people in the product space in San Francisco. The plan was simple: take some conference budget and get creative with it. When it is all said and done.. make a small mini-website and tell a story....
