Web Design Inspiration Curated
gobloomhealth.com
This is definitely not what I think of when I think about insurance benefits sites. It's modern and refreshing - it's even responsive! The doodle illustrations are friendly and have a fun contrast against the more realistic textures of the background. The content is...
tastingtable.com
I like how like 80% of the site is static and the only thing that scrolls is that sidebar. I think some of the type is all over the place, it could stand to have a little more simplicity style wise IMHO, but overall it's really workable and visually interesting to...
thefashionsketchpad.com
Submitted by: Aaron Payne @creativepayne Role: Designer & Developer I think this site is really unique in a few ways. First I think it's great that it's taking some cues from the fashion world with edgy, overlapping diagonal lines, bright colors and patterns. The...
b3studios.co.uk
Submitted by: Sam Tiffin Role: Designer & Developer Our new website, coded in HTML5 with CSS3 animations, background image sprites and fancy webfonts (courtesty of Google Webfonts API). Really nice super clean, highly detailed feeling single page design. This site...
ren.ai
I'm late getting this design up in the gallery - wedding site by/for a super great web designer Bryan Veloso (@bryanveloso) of avalonstar.com. Look up his stuff, he's great. This wedding site is really great, I love the big picture (like in a real frame) in the top...
kickoffapp.com
Super clean product website design. It follows the Apple style of layout pretty good, but still has enough of it's own life. I particularly love the main slideshow, the way it zooms in and out just responds really great to me. Overall this design is pretty "high-end"...
ianjamescox.com
Submitted by: Ian Cox @ianjamescox Role: Designer & Developer I was very happy to be featured on Unmatched Style over 2 years ago. I've recently done a long overdue re-design of my site and I would love to be featured on your site once again....
Carnivale du Vin 2011
Submitted by: Terrance Pitre @tpitre Role: Designer & Devleoper Carnivale du Vin is the Emeril Lagasse Foundation's signature annual fund raising event, which has raised millions of dollars since its inception in 2005. Carnivaleduvin.com uses HTML5 (with...
joshuasortino.com
Submitted by: Joshua Sortino @joshuasortino Role: Designer & Developer Josh has a serious passion for progressive, usable, responsive design. His site is a demonstration of the flexibility, accessibility, and possibilities of HTML5 and CSS3. Really nice simple design,...
forefathersgroup.com
This is really a beautifully designed and executed website. From it's responsive approach to the over-the-top almost illustration work I can't stop looking at it. It has just about everything, style & substance. My two most favorite parts are the slide down quote form...
clearfirestudios.com
clearfirestudios.com is a lovely site with great details. The structure is simple but the soft colors, subtle textures and three dimensional elements give the site a visual depth that is lacking in most projects. It has the feeling that you are looking into a...
nuevacocina.com
I like nuevacocina.com's bold use of color. The richness of their red is strong and emotive. The photography is great and is seamlessly integrated into the visual language of the design. I think that the liberal use of text images for buttons and such is unfortunate...
oca.org
Submitted by: JD Graffam @jdgraffam Role: Creative Director Ooh, responsive! And so pretty! John Mears, of Simple Focus, was the hands-on designer and developer. Church sites in the past are usually cited as being less than attractive. This one not only crushes that...
thisisyoke.com
Submitted by: Jay Bigford @thisisyoke Role: Designer & Developer Man, that is a nice illustration! thisisyoke.com is a gem of a site. Great structure, an emphasis on content, strong use of tone and character, great art. This site pretty much has it all. It just...
cofinery.com
Admittedly, there's not yet much on this site. I don't know what the final intent will be, but in it's current state, I like what's going on. There's this thing called CoFinery. The page briefly states what that is, what it means, who's involved, and various ways to...
imagemechanics.com.au
Imagemechanics.com.au is a single page scroller that pages like a more traditional site. The transitions between content 'pages' are very smooth and sophisticated, especially transitioning away from the homepage. The navigation doesn't really feel like a traditional...
yaronschoen.com
Via @TrentWalton Yes! @Yarcom is responsivized! http://yaronschoen.com/articles/re_did_my_site_again/ & @Beep Look at that hot shit right there. Go @Yarcom! More from @TrentWalton I think my favorite bit is the work page, with its badass tappable next/prev nav:...
americanselect.org
Americanselect.org does a great job of making somewhat mundane tasks really interesting. For instance, when you "choose your colors" (rank political issues by importance to you), instead of maybe a checkbox form of dropdown where you can choose their rank, you are...
snowdenindustries.com
Snowdenindustries.com is all about drama. It has a sense of typographic scale that dwarfs most sites and uses sweeping lines and broad shapes that fill the monitor. It definitely designed to be an experience that impresses. Their portfolio is excellent. The timing on...
raisetheroofproductions.com
Really a simple and beautiful website. I love the use of the vertical parallax here to show the sun setting. The clouds and bird illustrations are wonderful. Great looking website.

CSS: It’s not that hard.
This article isn’t meant to hash over the pro and cons of which one is better in the age-old (at least since 2001 or so) css vs. tables debate. I really don’t care which one you use. If you can get your work done quickly, make money, and sleep well at night, then that...
