Web Design Inspiration Curated
Steve Jobs
Apple's home page from last night. Fitting tribute. They really got it right with their tribute.
Boing Boing
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...
rlottering.com
Ryan Lottering's personal site is nice, simple and does a good job of showing off his work. It took me a second to notice the subtle animation. It's so subtle it's almost an easter egg so I won't spoil it for anybody reading this. Just go check it out. The type is...
42angels.com
Honestly, I somewhat torn about 42angels.com. I think that each 'page' (its a single page scroller) has a really nice visual appeal when static but some of that appeal is lost when scrolling. The limited palette and minimalist modular structure make for a compelling...
duet.me
I suppose there are a couple things to talk about here. First of all, Duet is a soon to be launched iPhone app, which from what I can gather, is some sort of intimate social network where can do 'stuff' with other people. Perhaps 'Duet' is a some sort of pun on 'Do...
berkshiresalondayspa.com
Really nice simple detail work to sell the mood of the spa. The bamboo and leaves give it an organic vibe - I can only imagine the place is full of this type of stuff and likely smells of coconut oil... I like the responsive design, the difference in this from the...
indubitablee.com
Via @burciaga AND another nice site redesign by @deniselchandler indubitablee.com We've looked at a number of Ms.Chandler's designs and they are all pretty sweet. Her designs are very illustrative and her style is big and bold and sort of 'anti-elitist-designer-ish'...
labubbly.com
Neat to see a site design that has a video for the main central feature. Backed up with some decent typography - I do wish it was active type, only for the nerd in me though. The lower portion is very visually interesting mixed with links and non-active spaces. Fun...
ashemfarm.com
This site combines a rigid structure and clean lines with just enough texture to keep it from being too sterile. The site works well in that it's easy to take in whether the user decides to scroll down the page manually or by using the navigation. For single-page...

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....
