Web Design Inspiration Curated

Gareth Lawn

I like the minimal design for Gareth Lawn's website. Putting the type front and center with a big central image. Nicely designed responsive solution too.

United Utilities

Nice example of a responsive site design clearly for a non-education non-design firm client. Love seeing this in the wild. am-i-right?

Google Cultural Inst.

This design is just crazy. Super intense interaction work both full window then grid style ways to get into the content/stories. Spend some time on this site and really dig into it. It's worth it.

Homeland Security

This responsive design for the Homeland Security site has some really nicely placed breakpoints. I really dig how the layout just really seems to flow so well in between the breakpoints too. Nice clean type and it seems really easy to use on a tablet and iPhone too.

Temple University Japan

There is a ton of stuff going on with this home page. There's buttons and links everywhere but somehow they've managed to keep it all straight visually so you can scan it and get around. There are 3 main navigation sections/schemes in play but they're visually...

Big Youth

Nice and clean and full of sharp corners but somehow it feels open and inviting to read. Super awesome photography in play makes this site really stand out, when you have photos like these you got to show them off, right? I also like the mouse over zoom effect on the...

Element Creative

Element has just launched a really well done site. It has all the fancy bells and whistles of a hero carousel, responsive design, and snazzy graphics. What I really appreciate though is how overall what they've done is create a mature and solid brand experience. To...

D’Beach

Very intense parallax design. Lots of movement and photos flying around, it's almost too much. But in the end it's a nice design and execution. D'Beach building parallax website - developed for those who want to live in a beautiful place near the ocean.

Supereight Studio

Submitted by: Matt Hamm @matthamm Role: Designer & Developer It's our newly designed responsive website. It's been 2 years in the pipeline. We hope you like it! Solid responsive design. I'd say two years work is worth it for such a clean and crisp new design. Well...

Mark Boulton

I've watched Mark Boulton's blog/site designs over the years make this really refreshing trip towards being completely minimal. I love it. He's gotten down the just the bare essence of what he needs in a website, particularly with this latest design iteration. Mark...

Twelve Twenty

Really tightly designed website for Twelve Twenty. The little interactions that happen when you mouse over the icons are nice and keep you interested. The overall sharpness and minimal approach of the design mixed with limited color palette make it kind of stick out.

BBC Radio

Well, well, well: looks like the BBC Radio site’s just launched a fine-lookin’ responsive site. bbc.co.uk/radio/ /via @paulrobertlloyd— Responsive Design (@RWD) October 8, 2012 While this isn't a typical "website" it's still worthy of checking out. The design...

Verb

Submitted by: Alex Deeley @aedeleey Role: Designer & Developer At first I thought the design was for a product, then read the copy and saw it was for a web design firm. I can dig that. Overall it's a dang fine looking site and I like the slight parallax going on with...

Glass Coat Photo Booth

Really digging the style of this site, combined with the fun animations and pics glasscoatphotobooth.com — Dan Denney (@dandenney) October 1, 2012 Nice clean design with a striking monochromatic "grey" color scheme. It's nice when you check out the gallery and all the...

Everett Zufelt

The red and black design always works IMHO. Mixed with a nice grid and a diagonal it just comes off as smart. I like the subtle grid pattern that can be seen behind the design and the type mix works well with the grid vibe. I like that search form design a lot. Great...

Tapmates

Wow, what a beautifully designed layout. It immediately makes me think of the swiss school of design. I love the diagonally aligned screenshots and then the timeline is a really smart inclusion. I also love how it get's more involved visually and interaction wise as...

Paravel

New update for the Paravel team's website. They've simplified what was there before and boiled it all down to just what's needed to communicate what it is they do and have done. Telling their story quickly with a super badass illustration. The thing about this site...

Friends Arena

Those who are about to rock, we salute you: check out the responsive site for Sweden’s national arena! friendsarena.se /via @skogberg— Responsive Design (@RWD) October 8, 2012 I like how the header/navigation goes from being under the main image to being fixed...

Bridgewater

The whole purpose of this site/page is to help you decide to become a student at this school. It's a great linear narrative and it uses some cool techniques to engage you and some super great photography to show you around. I dig the fixed navigation design, it...
