Web Design Inspiration Curated

This is a very thorough responsive design solution. The main navigation changes alone are worth reviewing in some detail. Plus there is just a ton of info/elements on the home page that get handled well through each screen size transition.

The UC San Diego website is very modular and square which is softened up a bit by the colors and a few slightly rounded corners here and there. There are a few sections of the home page that fall into a sort of "i'm just tired of designing" sort of vibe, like all the...
teacakedesign.com
I really enjoy teacakedesign.com because, while the layout and design present the work beautifully, the main thrust of the design revolves around making it easy for a visitor to navigate through the work. On teacakedesign.com, I enjoyed the ability to move through the...
oxideinteractive.com.au
What a brilliant idea, looks great and works well with rotation. Even better they make a mobile friendly version too, a smart and thoroughly enjoyable design.
jeremycowart.com
jeremycowart.com is a great site to show off Jeremy's work. The homepage is striking in its boldness and gives a direct and immediate view of some of Jeremy's best work and the rest of the design is bold, minimal and progressive. The use of masonry doesn't hurt either.

University websites are a great place to study how large sprawling organizations with tons of content handle things. In this case the change in navigation design is largely from the wide horizontal nav structure with drop-down sub elements to the iPhone screen sized...
bignoise.com
Today, I'm playing the hometown card and giving a shout-out to Charlotte's own digital design studio Big Noise for their sweet website. The illustrations are what really sell me on the site. They're fun, there's a ton of them, and they really give you a sense of the...

Tons of app sites have pretty much the same structure. On one side of the layout, a large image of an iPbone (of course, with the app onscreen) dominates the composition. On the other side of the layout, the main tagline tells us how the app will change our lives....

What a great website to study the different screen size experiences with. I love the three major size designs here. The wider has the nice nav inline next to the logo area and then as you scale in it slides under the logo. With the final iPhone sized screen having the...
wishbone.org
Wishbone.org is a very cool site. Wishbone is a project that revolves around educating and retaining at risk students. You've got to love people who want to help educate our kids, so ten points for that. In addition to that, wishbone.org is a tight design, full of...

Nice clean website for selling these oversized prints. I dig the blockiness of the design, it echoes the idea of the framed prints very well visually. There are some nice little details like the mouse over on the logo and the way the text of the print loads as you...

I love this site's mix of aged, textured fonts and simple structure. The combination of these two elements works really well with the photograph of the cider bottle. The golds and off whites work well with the black background, as well, though the text is a little too...
disqus.com
The new disqus.com is pretty neat. Disqus is rolling out quite a few new features into their product, so to bring users up to speed quickly and easily, their site has become an interactive demonstration on how these new features will affect conversations on the web....

The thing I like most about this site is the extra wide screen size treatment, having the images fold out like one of those masonry type websites set's this design off. I like how the images are also nav items and mostly mirror the navigation on the left. The sub...

Paralax Scrolling html5 site for a hairstylist from schwerin / germany Submitted by: herrlich media @fimbim Role: Designer & Developer Cool interactions on this parallax design. I like the stark black and white and the way the lines animate in on page load. Then as...

There's truly a whole lotta sexy going on with this site. Aesthetically and developmentally it's a site full of rich treasures. No exaggeration. I almost don't want to point anything out and just let you experience it on your own, but I suppose I wouldn't be doing my...

I'm not ashamed to say the illustrations do it for me here. There's something to be said for the emotional responses they evoke. The site itself is pretty straightforward but where I think this wins is that the drawings give life and a positive personality to what...
workspacesllc.com
I love the look and execution of the WorkSpaces website. The responsive design and parallax effect with the main images is quite well done. It gives an overall timeless feeling design some current edge. Typically I don't like it when a design hides navigation items...
purepleasuredesign.com
Very nice textural and layered design. I love the feel to this site design, the dark header and footer areas with the light background content section in between on the homepage is a nice way to ground the page. The typography is well done all across the website as...
