Web Design Inspiration Curated
themischiefco.com
The Mischief Co's visual branding is quite fun. It's somewhere between olde school and future classy (heh, I just made that up.) But I love it, it's fun and that's just what a site like this needs right? Technically it's put together well too. There's also some nice...
crushlovely.com
The new Crush Lovely website is simple and direct. I really dig how the tone is mainly delivered with copy and such. The "select clients" and "imagined future clients" stuff is pretty smart. The super large contact form with the large text box is also smarty used....
impending.com
Beautiful blog/website design by the team (partly) that made Clear. I love the crystal comet and that animation and the overall character the design gives the site. The footer is well done too and carries the visual tone all the way through.
atticuspetdesign.com
Very tight design. I like the animated background image around the logo/illustration. I particularly like the effectiveness of the footer area/contact form. The experience of going from page to page and getting the slide down effect is pretty cool, but gets a bit...
rdio.com
The music app everyone loves right!?! The website is very clean and cool looking, from the apple influenced design (which is entirely appropriate here BTW) to the sign up experience. Very well done. My favorite part of the rdio site is the sign up. It's a modal with a...
uxmad.com
I can really appreciate a simple approach to a website - especially a conference website. I like the three column design, keeping things front and center like uxmad.com is doing. Kinda screams to be responsive too.
soleilnoir.net/believein
Soleil Noir's 2012 wishes is just plain fun to play with. Vertical parallax meets bright happy colors, simple messaging, and some animations to add another slight layer of wow. The nav on the side is neat. Choosing a colored dot is like picking an easter egg not...
hiutdenim.co.uk
This is a super straightforward and attractive site. The rich images create a consistent visual experience that almost feels like a story. Also, there's more content to this site than you might initially think, but it's all organized well and easy to navigate to. I...
offscreenmag.com
I love the slideshow of the inside of the magazine, well done and shows off what it's all like. The black/white/gray color scheme fits well to help accentuate the photos and such too. Would love to get my hands on one of these for a review!
lifetreecreative.com
The heading on the home page of this site says it all. "Simple, Beautiful, & Effective." The colors are fresh, the typography inviting, and the layout feels spot on. The flow of info and scanability of the site is great. The site is cleanly done and reflects that...
viget.com
I could go on for a while on everything I love about Viget's new site. It's actually more than a new site. It's an entire re-dedication of their brand, their business, and their work. The website brings a transparency and intimacy to the "men/women behind the...
dimitropoulos.info
Submitted by: Menelaos Dimitropoulos Role: Designer & Developer Good bold typography, I like the solid feel to the whole thing. From the fixed navigation to the red/textured background it's a nice feel to this website. I particularly like the graphs for each skill...
shoottheliving.com
Submitted by: Jon Saul @jonsaul Role: Designer I think this is a great minimal/editorial style, with great photography too ! mentioned in the Creative Review Blog here: http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2011/august/editorial-photography-shoot-the-living...
capitolcouture.pn
I'm a fan of the books and can't wait to see the movie when it comes out so this mockumentary style website for the Hunger Games' Panem city is brilliant. It's also designed pretty well and is also cool to be running on Tumblr. Love it!
manyangl.es
Submitted by: Alex Leeson-Brown @aloox2 Role: Designer & Developer Many Angles is a design, web, social media and all round creative blog designed to help people learn a little more about anything and everything to do with the web and it’s surroundings. Love this...
minnpost.com
Another great example of a responsive news site. I think I first saw minnpost.com from one of Ethan Marcott's @RWD tweets. I think something to take an extra look at here is how they've handled the ads between screen size targets, feels really well done to me.
grazsecrets.at
Beautiful site for this iPhone app. The fixed nav with the animated download button and large iPhone examples is well done. I like how it breaks down into a more grid like view with such nice details regarding line and typography.
cxpartners.co.uk
I love the tone and vibe of this website. It's subdued a bit and super tight on subtle detail. The photos are all really crisp feeling and inviting - people, and they look like folks i'd like to hang out with. It's also a well worked out responsive experience.
typofonderie.com
Another great website by the team at Paravel for Typofonderie. A beautiful responsive design with so much subtle detail work. It's just solid from top to bottom, go there, look around and enjoy. Great blog post on the launch here as well.
cironline.org
I love the large orange shape to the left of the page in the background. It reminds me of the golden ratio a little bit when you put that together with the other elements on the page. The smaller iPhone screen size of this responsive implementation is pretty good....
