Web Design Inspiration Curated

Outer Banks

Really slick vacation marketing site for The Outer Banks of NC. I like the hero area slide show's interactions, they're quite involved but they look tempting to click around on. The mid area feels a bit cramped with the 4 columns at first but they've left it airy...

Pretty crazy design with the full screen background video. Love the cow suit! The interactions are all over the place but look interesting and there is real content here too. Overall pretty fun website design and I dig it.

mostlyserious.io

This is an interesting site. It's a pretty sweet idea and the floating balloon nav is kind of mesmerizing. Each page is a custom design, which is great. It's a fun design that sells mostlyserious' brand.

playgroundinc.com

This is how you should post job openings. This is a lovely little site to entice people of the 'web nerd' persuasion. I think that the photo animation is a bit much and seems a little out of place in an otherwise tight and professional design, but everything else is...

Emeril’s Restaurants

Aside from the oddity of having different sites/URLs in the main nav, the restaurant "site" is really nice. It has a clean design with gorgeous imagery (cuz let's face it, Emeril's food is a dream) and a great layout of information. It's as if each location has its...

getballpark.com

incredibly elegant getballpark.com — Matthew Smith (@whale) August 15, 2012 Take away the beautiful aesthetic and you're left with a clearly defined product page. The copy is straightforward enough to be informative, and polished enough to be engaging on its own....

impressapenguin.com

Yet another great site intended to attract new talent. I talk a lot about narrative and this site takes that idea to heart. People respond to stories and what better company to seek out those people? Just click through it, its great. Who can't empathize with a...

stuffandnonsense.co.uk

Super fun reboot from Andy Clarke's stuffandnonsense.co.uk website. Outside of the technical stuff, which yes you should go view source and pour over it. The header is so fun, the illustrations of the dude on the bike with the animated background makes it so...

colorkite.com

Colorkite is a clean, minimal design that does a great job at getting out of the way of the content. The typography is pretty solid and the color palette is subtle and sophisticated. The site is responsive, though it looks a little disjoint at some screen sizes. The...

eattheordinary.com

I have to say that I think this is an great site. It has just the right mix of texture, art and typography. My favorite part of the design is the speckled background, which does a great job of softening and activating the negative spaces without making the design...

convax.com

This slider is so coolconvax.com— Dan Denney (@dandenney) September 4, 2012 Agreed Dan, the animation that follows your mouse around behind the slideshow is clever. It's something that's pretty minimal really, as fare as interaction goes, but works well to keep...

fiafo.com

There's a pretty structured grid feel going on here. The use of League Gothic emphasizes the grid weight, but Chaparral Pro is a welcomed contrast. I think both typefaces are executed well enough to marry the crisp imagery with the fun illustrations. I like the...

alwayscreative.net

This site is beautifully wide open, with subtle animations and a complex mix of textures. It is somewhat narrative through a combination copy about exploration and imagery of space. Their vision is simply stated, which I like, and the design is super-clean (which I...

minervastreetwear.com/lookbook/

Great looking single page scroller. I love the long almost narrative feel to the catalog here, the product displays are well done too. I think the fixed nav element is a little bit understated but it's a subtle design and I totally understand it in the end.

southtees.nhs.uk

The South Tees Hospital website is a superb example of responsive design for a large organization and not just a personal portfolio or design firm's website. We always love it when we come across large scale projects like this that utilize a lot of the same techniques...

deweyspizza.com

I usually hate when websites hit me with a 'site soundtrack', but in this case I really think it helps to complete the experience. The colors, texture, and typography go really well with the music. It took me a little while to realize that the center banner is the...

cafeevoke.com

What a great vibe this website has. I love the lines and stark yet very soft graphic feel to it. It's amazing how this shows off hard edges and soft colors at the same time. Truly creating a harmony of the two. It's also a superbly designed adaptive experience. Each...

ianjamescox.com

Ian put together a nice post for us about his thought process while building this site. I love the experimental feel of the design, so I thought I'd throw it in the gallery. As Ian mentioned, this site certainly makes accessibility sacrifices to accomplish the desired...

2013.newadventuresconf.com

Nice site. I really like the static content on the left. Really, this site is all about selling tickets. It makes sense to keep that button on the page at all times. I think that the collapsed nav is interesting, though I feel that area of the page has room for a...

frameinc.nl

I can really get behind the minimal approach to content that frameinc presents. The site isn't cluttered up with overblown copy or quirky language and I'm not forced to wade through a huge portfolio to get a sense of what this business does. The design and the short...
