Web Design Inspiration Curated
carabi.co
Nice use of illustrations to help tell the story of what you do. Nice limited color palette of black, green & a little red. It keeps it simple overall while still having some slightly busy illustrations. I especially like the header, the fixed header that gets a...
git-scm.com
The Git website is another great example of good design helping to sell an open source project. The great illustration of how it works really sells the concept visually and the solid design of the rest of the page gives Git the visual brand it needs for you to trust it.
foundation.zurb.com
Zurb has given us many good things, Foundation is surely one of them. But they also design pretty solid websites to house the things they make. This site is great example of making a monochromatic color scheme work. The idea of using the yeti and the cool blues...

typecastapp.com
Aside from what looks like a brilliant app. The typecastapp.com website is very well produced. I like asymmetrical layout a lot, the right side is heavy with visuals and it really helps to draw you down the page more. Keeping your eyes focused on that right side...
dearestnature.com blog
Posted by: Donaville Herrick @dearestnature This site was 5 years in the making. The original concept behind the site arose while working on niche publications for my previous employer from 2007 - 2010. It wasn't until 2011 that I hunkered down and mapped out the...
getflow.com
Really great looking/working website. I dig the bold colors, they kind of burn into your retina in a good way. I also like the small animation on the initial page load from the two hands holding the iPhones. The thing I like the most is the multiple chances to get...

This is the wedding invitation/announcement website for Jessica Hische and Russ Maschmeyer. There is a lot of beautiful illustrations and just purely joyful feeling effort put into this website. There are some neat little easter eggs you can find in the site too, I...
ajmarksberry.com
A random Google search brought me to the site of AJ Marksberry and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I really dig what AJ has done. It's a straight up portfolio site which does an excellent job of selling his skills and representing his work, but it also is a...
mandrill.com
The Mandrill site is a such a nice product/app website. The experience is clean with a few little visual treats here and there, like the slight parallax type image shift on the two mobile phone images. Good responsive design too. I particularly like the signup form...
neonmob.com
I love the interactions on NeonMob. They're simple color shifts and sliding shapes but the overall experience is delightful. That's really all it takes sometimes to really draw you into singing up. In this case, onboarding by great interactions, it's a first for me to...
hd-live.co.uk
The Hull Digital Live conference website is a nice responsive top navigation design to study. I like the pattern here of going with the fixed top nav then as you get smaller screen widths, it still stays fixed but folds out with a slight transparency on it. It's not...
creativebloq.com
Creative Bloq is a brand new website by the makers of Computer Arts, 3D World and .net magazine that offers up a daily dose of design tips & inspiration. First impressions are that this could be something good. What I noticed immediately is that it's SUPER easy to...
