Web Design Inspiration Curated
leaderbe.com
I love the cohesive design this site has powering it's message. The visuals all speak to the copy and the mood. I really love the big mountain range illustration that props up the footer too. I think the sub pages in general could use some more love since the overall...
peternappi.com
Peternappi.com is a great little store and blog. They sell bags and boots and the site's travel theme is just perfect. Sepia colors and aging on the illustrations work really well with the desaturated reds of the interface elements. The check marks for hover states is...
milliontrees.ca
Very cool vertical parallax design. It's not too much in the way of crazy vs. content either. I quite like this single page site. It's engaging, has surprise to it and really get's the idea across. Well done!

This website is really a responsive beauty. Solid design and detail work make up the majority of what I love most about it, then discovering it's responsive just made my day. My favorite part is the book tickets button, there's something oddly cathartic about pressing...

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of sites that seem strongly influenced by magazine design. Web design has matured a lot and improvements in our technologies and tools have made expressive design much easier. siteoutsidethewirellc.com isn't an overly complex design but...
deinternetjongens.nl
The Internet Guys or Internet Boys (depending on which translator you’re using) have a really nice looking site. It’s got a soft feel and is nicely balanced. One I started poking around a bit more, I found some really neat little details. I like how the content to the...
columnfivemedia.com
I love sites like this that are just chock full of super awesome detail work. The illustrations are top-notch, fun and inviting, then follow that up with some subtle roll-over animations and you've got yourself a fun site. There's detail given to just about each page...
Steve Jobs
Apple's home page from last night. Fitting tribute. They really got it right with their tribute.

Boing Boing goes back to the beginning with their tribute.

I really love the look of the vines and leaves and stuff in the illustrations on this website. The way they are drawn and the colors really gives this an inviting feel to it. Very relaxed and it's a nice vibe.
incub.ro
Very nice clean and crisp looking design. I love the sharpness to this layout and all the details like the quality of the arrows and imagery. I find the sideways navigation experience to be a little disjointed. I do think it's working well enough as used here, since...
cldesignz.com
Pretty straight forward website design. Single page with some fun illustration work. I like the little "jump to" nav that follows you down the page - I like it a lot more than the other navigation placed around the different "pages" actually.
joelglovier.com
Dropping in on Joel’s site is like staring at a giant wall filled with bins of all your favorite candy. Everything is good and everything is your favorite but you can’t digest it all at once so you hop and skip around until well…I think you just keep going. Before you...
sundaybestdesigns.com
Sunday Best Designs is a web design firm that tailors to ministries. They build church websites and Facebook pages. The single page scroller design is friendly and bright with just enough css3 to make it interesting. The transitions are nice and smooth, if a little...
IWC.com
I think I found this page via @bgalmar, but I just love it. It's beautiful simplicity. The strong 3 columns and stark black and white approach gives it a great sense of high-end quality. It needs that given the product the page is selling too. All the clickable images...
urbanoff.com
There's a lot to like on this site. The big chiseled type logo is really well done. I also love the 'back/next' navigation links on the work pages. The monochrome color scheme works well too, and helps the large portfolio screenshots stand out. It would be nice if...
cookiesound.com
cookiesound.com is a really nice blog about the travels of a 'mother-daughter photography team'. The work is lush and powerful; they are great photographers. So, their site is worth visiting just to see about their travels, you won't be disappointed. I have to say,...
artofflightmovie.com
This site is simply crazy. Just go there and scroll around. The design work on it is pretty good too. The amazing thing to me is how the designers were able to capture the feeling of flying through the air on a snowboard or helicopter with the scrolling parallax...
fork-cms.com
Sweet baby chickens! I love how much great artwork comes across our desks... er, virtual desks... computers... whatever. fork-cms.com has a great set of water mythos illustrations and a simple, open style. The bright colors are friendly and saturated without feeling...
