Web Design Inspiration Curated
dillydelitulsa.com
Dilly Deli has a super fun looking site and yummy looking food. It has an eclectic mix of fonts, colors, textures and patterns. It’s like a visual smorgasbord! Click, hover, and drag the mouse around for even more design goodness. The design and copy are full of...
theartfuls.com
theartfuls.com is a site that knows how to have a personality without getting in the way of a HUGE collection of amazing artwork. The simple design belies a pretty well-thought-out functionality set that makes parsing through illustrators and their work really easy....
infusionsoft.com
This is a pretty straightforward site in terms of design, but it’s well done. It’s chock full of content but presented in a way that doesn’t overwhelm. Color, shape, and contrast are a few basic design principles well executed that help give this site a polished look....
moodyinternationalllc.com
I'm really taken in by the fact that moodyinternationalllc.com is a site for an accounting and audit service. It's tone and design are clearly intended to undermine the common perception of the accounting industry as stodgy and boxed in. A wide open and loosely...
stugreenham.com
I like the super dark feel to this design. Also love the interactions everywhere, pretty much if you mouse over anything it lightens up and appears to be an interactive element. Lovely experience. I also really dig the blog and how much of a departure it is tonally...
fingerbilliards.com
This site has a neat gimmick. I'm not one for gimmicks but the scrolling billiard ball and sound effect is a fun surprise and makes the site stand out and be memorable. As you continue to scroll you see the instructions on how to play which is a cool idea because when...
mossrehab.com
Nice easy going website design visually. This site is deep on content and organization. The thing I like about this site is that it's not a flashy client and the result of the work is all business. That's what it's about in what we do every day. Making it happen for...
metamarketsgroup.com
"We are Engineers, Scientists, and Designers with a passion for data." The self-description from the folks at Metamarkets is visually summed up in this superbly executed site. I love it. The use of type, color, shape, and line all throughout this website perfectly...
designprofessionalism.com
Aside form being a pretty great read, the "Design Professionalism" book by Andy Rutledge is superbly designed. It's a treat to read this on the web too. Largely helping to guide you to this main statement "I want a successful, happy, and fulfilling design career."...
bobvvs.se
This has to be the coolest plumbing company website on the planet. The single page long form scroller with the pipes and cool illustrations if so much fun to look over. It probably confuses the heck out of your average plumbing service consumer since they'd never...
fivesimplesteps.com
Great re-launch for the Five Simple Steps website. Makers of some really great books on web design & dev - namely "Hard Boiled Web Design" by Mr. Andy Clarke. The site is stark and clean and well formed grid wise. It's also responsive. Here's what Mark Boulton has to...
decoratedplaylists.com
Submitted by: Simon Foster @simonstretch Role: Designer & Developer Decorated Playlists is a simple concept site. Basically, Simon makes a playlist on a certain theme, then designs a sort of 'poster' around each theme. The designs are simple, usually with a bit of...

I like the approach here, the mix of personal and professional stuff. The work with the # of drinks consumed on the home page next to the twitter stream is kind of cozy. I dig the monochromatic colors highlighted with the red here and there. My favorite part is the...
admissions.ri.edu.sg
Very interesting design. The site is setup basically like a slideshow, with "next" and "back" type buttons but slides vertically. It's chock full of nifty illustrations and imagery to keep you involved as you read through it. I'd like to see the web stats on a site...
dreamyear.net
This site is a great example of simple and purposeful design. There isn’t a superfluous detail to be found. It has a very open but structured feel with solid examples of good typography and layout. There are just enough touches to make each section stand out, but the...
51bits.com
I love the visual brevity of this website design. It has just the right amount of stuff on it. They typography is tight and the colors are interesting. It's a responsive design too which makes the point that these guys know their stuff come off even more strongly. One...
alanpower.net
Submitted by: Al Power Role: Designer & Developer I guess Alan is fortunate to have the last name 'Power'. It makes his logo almost design itself. His site is a one page site consisting of a list of work and a contact form. For most people, this is really all you...
aaronshekey.com
At first glance this is a clean, simple site but it’s got a little more going on under the hood. It’s a responsive design, and the thing I like most about it is that once you get down to the smaller size you’re given nice buttons with the option to email or call. Nice...
niceandneat.gr
Submitted by: Konstantinos Penlidis @penlix Role: Designer A single page endless-scroll portfolio, and a couple of extra pages for the designer's info and contact. Something fresh, built on brand new Drupal 7. Use of Google's lovely Arvo webfont and some simple but...
epicagency.net
Really cool vibe to this site design. I love the spartan illustrations, really nice fun and kick ass feeling. The overall message is strong and gives the impression that this is a tight group of pros. My favorite page is the skills page, it's a very clever way to...

Free Twitter Icon by Master Illustrator Brandon Reese
Following up on last week's post about custom Twitter icons, we wanted to give our readers something cool. The first thing I thought of was to have Brandon Reese design a custom icon that you can use on your website, as your twitter icon, or whatever you want to....
Does data make the designer?
Last week Doug Bowman let us all know he was leaving Google as their “Visual Design Lead.” I don’t know for sure but it sounds like he’s been Google’s Art Director. He had a pretty specific reason for leaving as he noted in his blog post: Without a person at (or near)...
