Web Design Inspiration Curated
neil.judg.es
Damn, this site is fun! It's all about animation and storytelling, both of which it handles beautifully. Here's a case where the art is the content. It shows how clever Neil can be, as well as his skill set. One of my favorite personal sites to date. I'm jealous I...
badracket.com
Deceptively simple design is badracket.com. It's a well designed responsive solution with some nice little goodies spread across it's single page layout. I love the interstitials designed into the content flow that allow you to open picture slideshows. The small...
teamtreehouse.com
Really tight design for the Treehouse website. I love the main graphic with the interactions that make the other elements on the illustration disappear. They work really well to pull you in deeper into the chosen section. I equally like the fixed header and how it's...
coworkchicago.com
Great website for a Cowork location. It's marvelous, I couldn't think of what else a website for something like this would need. I love the interactions on top of the slide-show images, they are clever and not overpowering. I also love the large background map image...
wearemovingthings.com
The illustrations are really great on this site and the animations completely sell The humor. Love it?
myemma.com
The emma website is very crisp. I dig that top nav and how crisp and brite it looks to me. The "get started" call to action is easy to find and understand and I like that it's echoed on the page a couple of times. The overall layout gets more dense with content as you...
campaignmonitor.com
Such a great clean and clear experience. I love the overall simple approach, keeping the visual noise to a minimum, it's totally different in approach to most product websites like this. The call to action is super clear and concise but doesn't beat you over the head...
starbucks.com
Pretty much have to include the new(ish) responsive Starbucks Coffee site in here. It has some neat sections of it's design that are worth studying for sure. Like the different views for different screen widths on the big slideshow slider. We'll take a closer look at...

ragingindifference.com
This site runs a little slower than we would like but unfortunately, the host provider was already chosen by the client. That aside, amazingly, this is @lindzington 's first ever site design. First ever! Can't wait to work on more. The cool photos were taken by the...

theworldwelivein.co.uk
Another solid minimal(ish) design that's great. I love the bold typography and black and white coloring. Keeps it all very clean feeling. Then those charts of skill-sets are very craftily done.
imgonnarelph.com
Submitted by: Aaron Relph @aaronrelph Role: Designer & Developer Wonderfully simple, yet chock full of detail work is this site for Aaron Relph. I give it two thumbs up for the domain name alone, love that sense of humor. Plus the silhouette of the T-rex is just...
weareo3.com
Submitted by: Brian Onorion @WeAreO3 Role: Developer I love the bold graphic nature to this design. That illustration of the city is boss and the icons used in the main nav are nice as well. Great simple site with some visual depth in terms of the illustration and...
fabriziomichels.com.au
Submitted by: Fabrizio Michels Role: Designer & Developer The scrolling/parallax effect on this site is a pleasant surprise when you first start clicking nav links. I like how it smoothly loads in each page and it's overwhelming. Clear nav and clear sections make this...
