Web Design Inspiration Curated
studionudge.com
Submitted by: Patrick Flynn @StudioNudge I believe our site is subtle yet powerful. We went with a one page scrolling website because we feel that will be the next move for upcoming websites. It makes the site easily functional and you never have to load a page after...
processtypefoundry.com
Great simple website design for the Process Type Foundry. I like the straight forward grid based layout, it gives is such a sense of order and organization. The type is the focus here so they clearly wanted a site to show it all off. They've succeeded and so I love it...
hundertgrad.de
Pretty crazy interactions and details across this site. like the little ink dropper to change the overall color scheme of the site. It's largely driven by the javascript that gives it life but it's fun nonetheless to click around in and see all the work they've put...
losttype.com
Straightforward but beautifully done website here. The typography makes me so happy. We've featured one of these faces in an UMS newsletter before. There's a nice strong graphic appeal to all the elements of this design, clean clear straight lines and the colors all...
goodfootapp.com
It's Goodfoot, an iOS app created by the folks at Paravel. The app itself is a really cool idea, if you want a review of the app, check out this one - it's really well done. The website is topped off with a super funny/cool/awesome illustration of a Yeti (not a...

Very strong layout and design work here. I love the colors the most on this site I think. The navigation is clean and concise, even with the extra descriptive text. The footer is crowned with some well done illustrations too. Very nice. The responsive design of the...
deda.me
Immediately I loved the interaction and creative bit of the graphic to the right. The navigation is understated and off to the side which seems to suit this layout well. The whole site has an almost print feel to it and the illustrations add a lot of interest. You...

I like how the main objective of getting you to notice the cans of illy (products) is played up and beyond the other nav items on the page here. The imagery is super nice and the black and white image next to the loud red of the can is a great example of how you can...

Submitted by: Justin Cline @justincline Role: Designer We just launched our new site! Highlights include a big typography focus, Nike inspired parallax scrolling, and jQuery goodness all around. Super cool vertical parallax website design. I love these types of...

This is why I love Dribbble. This shot appeared in my following list today and it’s seriously a clever bit of web design that I might not otherwise have seen. Josh Miller states: “So, here's my first personal site. After seven years of making sites, apps, display and...

Such a badass single page site. The slight vertical parallax and the super subtle background noise/texture makes me smile. I love the simplicity and visual style to the elements. The portfolio is chock full of great work too. Super cool site.
driftboys.com
Really fun website design, I absolutely love the illustrations. Very cool. Nice animation on the logo rollover and the subpage header areas are all very cool. I just love this kind of stuff.
dustandmold.net
Beautifully done responsive design. It's a single pager and has a nice background image and strong typography. I like just about every detail on this site.
goodcorps.com
There is some really badass design within this site, but I feel like the experience is a bit compromised by the nature of the long scrolling design. It's beautiful to look at, but you miss content when you flip from nav element to nav element, you have to mix clicking...
opera.com/community
Interesting site for the Opera Community, more interesting still is the responsive design the site has been given. It's a very simply realized design but it's a really nice example of design for different screen sizes. I'm not wild about the photo they used but if you...
paramore.is
The digital agency previously known as Paramore|Redd celebrates 10 years of creating stellar work in style. To help mark their anniversary they launched a new site, branding, and overall reinventing. Word on the street is that they spent almost a year on the new...
natecroft.com
I really love the clean look of Nate’s entire site. The subtle texture, clean layout and witty writings wrap themselves around his stunning photography and give everything a refined, professional, yet friendly look. There are a lot of nice touches throughout the site...
hotmeteor.com
This site has a nice impact upon first visit. The bright red and the angle that cuts across the screen is pretty striking. Beyond that, the layout is pretty straightforward. It has a 3 column layout with some intro copy, some work thumbnails and some news. It took me...
egopop.net
Submitted by: Aleksandar Grkinic @ego_pop Role: Designer This is a simple and fun little site. There's really not much going on but the home page has such an impact with the little illustrations and the horizontal parallax effect. It would be cool if there was some...
danielmall.com
While the home page on Dan Mall's new site is very clean and minimal with just enough interactivity to make it interesting, the 'Work' section is where the site really shines. Each portfolio piece has a really nice bit of chunky text at the top, with left/right arrows...

I wrote back in February that I was looking for a new web host. My current host, Mosso, seemed "to be cratering under its own weight, and I now believe it’s more likely that the problems will get worse before they get better." Well, I was right. We're now almost...
