Web Design Inspiration Curated
brasseriecayman.com
Visually, there is some good stuff going on here. The main texture is nice and color is used well to help frame out the site. The photos stand apart from the background and add a lot of vibrance to the page. Small touches of hand-drawn elements keep things feeling a...
qcmerge.com
The Queen City Merge conference website is nicely designed for sure. I love the colors and the wood background. The fixed main nav is a nice touch to the single page(ness) of it. Storm Troopers and Alice in Wonderland, love it!
theverge.com
The Verge isn't exactly new news in the design world. It's been around a few months. I happen to feel like it's a great experience in terms of taking in news/stories, both on the old laptop and on my iPad too. What are your gripes or loves for it?
atommica.com
Pretty tight design that allows itself to feel lose at the same time. The illustrations are what helps it achieve that. Simple mouse over animations here and there keep it interesting. Follow all that up with a nice responsive layout and you have yourself a damn fine...
playtend.com
The Playtend website is just pain fun. I love the monster and how it all ties in with the name. Taking a look at it in our screen cast review Giovanni and I spell out how much we enjoy this website.
eynsfordmusicfestival.co.uk
Largely a simple execution technically speaking but visually it's super fun. I love the illustration style and the visual stories each little drawing tells to help further the overall story of location and experience. The type is also pretty much spot on with the...
smashingmagazine.com
Smashing Magazine is one of those industry staple websites right? Like Facebook, you mess with it people either love it or hate it. Giovanni and I explore the responsive design decisions in some detail (kinda) in our screen cast review. Overall we do really dig the...
shawnjohnston.ca
We've written about Shawn Johnston's site design before here on UMS - we even did a screen cast of it. While this iteration isn't worlds different visually it totally is under the hood, it's a responsive implementation and a whole bevy of updated stuff. I really dig...
Paper
The Paper app home page is actually a sub page of the FiftyThree website. It's gorgeously clean and simple though. I absolutely love how the images and copy flow down the page being strongly gridded out but yet almost asymmetrical at the same time.
madebywheat.com
Just a beautiful design, simple as that. I love the big bold image of the wheat and the large WHEAT set on top of it. Subtle yet not at all. The rest of the site is a display of restraint by the designer, which shows maturity to me. Love it.
path.com
The path.com website is a simple/minimal thing of beauty. The background of the site is a demo video that auto-plays in a very unobtrusive way. It's brilliant really, showing off the app like that - since that's what will make you fall in love with path in the first...
365awesomedesigners.com
Matthias Mentasti is debuting a designer a day over at 365awesomedesigners.com. The site pulls in Dribbble feeds of some of the best designers currently dressing the interwebs. He's created the perfect textured backdrop for showcasing the crazy detail of the work. So...
orbitaldevs.com
Love the Orbital Developments site design. It's fun and functional. I really dig the responsive approach and some of the finer details. Like the moon and slight astronaut animation. Gio and I dig in with our screen cast review, give it a watch and tell us what you...
kernandburn.com
A great great project and a really cool looking site design make for something I love. This site isn't super duper interactive blow your mind away but it's content and overall presentation make me smile. Crsip lines and type and great color choices here. Lovely work.
omdrl.org
Love the omdrl.org website, it's a beautifully minimal example of solid design. The typography and hierarchy of most everything across the site is in order. Particularly interesting is to study the three different phases of the main navigation design for the major...
lycos.com
The new Lycos website is interesting. It's primary use is the deliver the search field and also has a large grid of selections for different stuff you can do. Like news feeds and video feeds, etc... I like that it's responsive a lot, honestly that's enough to make me...
doberman.se
I really dig the hierarchy designed into this home page. The large image/slideshow is nice with nice details and you get t focus on that, with simple messages and then as you scroll down the info gets more densely populated and then eventually just some basic about...
oliverrussell.com
I like the two main column layout for this website. The use of the circles and overall blocky feeling of the design makes for a nice contrast, especially with the circular swirly pattern behind the main elements. The responsive design for this site is pretty well...
krystalrae.com
Very fun parallax website. Super great execution too. The best part is the way it's used to view different sets of cloths over the model. But the bottom nav slides into place and you can then use the up and down arrows to load the clothes. I love clever usage of...
feistygoat.com
I love the bold two column layout of the Feisty Goat website. The animations are fun and the overall tone is indeed feisty. I really like that they have thought out their brand's tone so fully and push it with the copy and everything. In this case it really helps...
