Web Design Inspiration Curated
barcamptour.com
Lovely new site for BarcampTour.com. I love the overall simple approach, keeping it a single page and putting focus on the who and why is smart. I really dig the map piece too - that's clever and fun. Love it and love BarcampTour!
brooklynderby.com
Really great, really simple responsive design. I love the overall approach, keep it simple and clean, make sure it works well on different screens and don't mess with the rest. Love it!
bugrocket.com
Nifty experience with the main focus of the website based on showcasing the slideshow of features. I like how it's pulled off too, the animated slideshow is fun and the little spaceship makes you want to keep reading.
Among the Sleep
Really cool coming soon page for this game. The dark moody experience really sells it for me. I also like that even though it's just a temp page it feels like a full site (almost). Among the Sleep is an interactive experience currently in developement by Krillbite...
sasquatchfestival.com
Aside from this festival looking incredible to go to, the design is outstanding. It's also one of the best responsive designs I think i've seen in a while. There are three main widths targeted and exemplary attention has been spent on the design for each, it's almost...
calebacuity.us
Super smart responsive layout, I love how the different widths look so different. They typography just sings on this design too. It's so clean and crisp to read. I also really like the contact us "fold out" display action, that's a nice surprise. Great stuff here!
joebergantine.com
Pretty fun and simple design for a personal website. I like the large(ish) headshot cutout of Joe in the header and the overall simplicity and ease of reading works well for me too. The title "interactive producer" is pretty cool too, what do you all think of that...
icora.com
I'm not sure what to say about this site except that I'm pretty sure I'm not the target demographic. I barely know what a CRM is, and I can only assume that an XRM is more... something than a CRM. As far as the design goes, it's designed and put together well. Nothing...
frecklesandhandsome.com
This is such a fun little site. Josh Riggs, who seems to be the groom (Handsome) and the designer, has done great job of creating a whimsical wedding announcement/rsvp one page site. I really like that it's not traditional at all as far as 'wedding-y' stuff goes. The...
cityofcamden.org
Nice looking site that happens to have some really nice examples of "mega dropdown" design going on. I like the way the information is broken out on the home page and the flow is nice as well. Very nice site.
dolectures.com
The 'Do Lectures' site was designed and built by the guys at Paravel. 'Do Lectures' reminds me a bit of the TED series. The emphasis is on a series of lectures about 'doing' things, hence the 'Do' of 'Do Lectures'. Paravel has done a great job of delivering a clean...
spigotdesign.com
Spigot Design's site strikes a real nice balance. It's very clean and clear but has just enough texture to keep it from being sterile. The color selection for the main services 'badges' is very inviting and the buttons themselves are very 'clickable'. Make sure to...
jonikorpi.com
Super nice responsive design & layout. I really like the iPad screen size design, the way the main navigation is so clearly differentiated for the various device screens is top notch here. The overall design is rigid and heavily grid based but there are elements and...
inflicted.nl
Nice well balanced design. It's clean and professional and balances the typography and imagery well. The colors are also very subdued yet they aren't corporate or boring. I like this style very much.
charlestonfamilyfun.com
Really fun looking site as travel sites go. It's one of my favorites. I really like the detail work on the drop down navigation and the extra details here and there like over the "charleston explorers" navigation item. The photos are worked in nicely with the rest of...
buildguild.org
I really dig this site, or series of sites. It's a nice dark background design with some really sweet icons and responsive layout execution. For a nice easter egg (kinda) check out the credits 'movie style' - pretty clever. I'd love to know more aout Build Guild. It...
reallysimpleworks.com
I love this site. I love that the main focus is on typography. That "R" for the logo is very nice. The colors all flow well while looking sort of unique and common at the same time. I really like the "things that inspire us" section - that's just clever and really...
amandastevens.com
Super nice moody design. I love the main illustration that drives the whole site. Then the inverted footer graphic is clever and interesting visually. It's a nice compact design with some little flourishes here and there to round it out. Can't help but make the...
pelicanfly.co.uk
Nice type heavy design. I like the simple nature of the black type on the light colored background and the typography is rather delicate looking but the grid is very rigid. The responsive treatment of the design is well done as well, it really flows great with the...
jaradjohnson.com
Submitted by: Jarad Johnson, @jdjohnson Role: Designer New version of Jarad Johnson's website, featuring links to several projects he is currently involved in, including the small firm Mostly Serious and an upcoming iPhone game. Nice how the information is organized...

I Screwed Up
Last year I ran a design contest and then didn't award the $1,500 prize. Needless to say, that wasn't received well. Then I made the problem worse by refusing to discuss it openly here. I did discuss it with each of the four designers that submitted entries, and all...
