Web Design Inspiration Curated
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...

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...

I love it when you come across a site that maximizes the creative use of their brand. In Elevate’s case, they’ve done a really thorough job of weaving in what they do and whom they do it for. Having the main portion of their home page background change out with the...

Submitted by: Ryan O'Rourke @rourkery Role: Designer & Developer This is the 3.0 reiteration of my portfolio/blog. Over arching idea was for better readability. I dig it, anyway. Cheers! Ryan should dig his site because it achieves his goal of readability by providing...

Really beautiful single page scroller website. The vertical parallax effect with the color circles is wonderful. It has the perfect airy yet tactile feel that I want as I scroll down into the content of this site. The fixed navigation with the icons looks great too.

The colors, slight texture & typography all mix together to give this site a really nice high end look. I love the asymmetrical feel to the design with the way the slideshow is put together with the small thumbnails on the left and large image to the right. The site...

Submitted by: Mårten Björk @upperdog_se Role: Designer & Developer Me and my colleague made this site using HTML5, CSS3, SVG and responsive design. It's for our new business – a web agency called Upperdog. Honestly, I was ready to pan this as being too plain and...

I like the simplicity of this site. There are just solid colors without any gradients or drop shadows and just the basic info about what Andrew does. And one way to make a good impression is to just show of your work and up in the top right is a portfolio link....

I love this new site redesign by Jeremy Jantz (@jeremyjantz). The slab serif and chunky borders compliment each other. I like the juxtaposition of the clean lines and the subtle background texture. Set with some nice shadows and thin line borders, the site has a...

This site is actually kind of crazy. It's looks cool and is a responsive design, I really love the smallest width version the best, super well done looking. The main image is oversized and there is a slight scrolling animation in the logo and tagline that sort of...

Very non-traditional layout for a website, I like that a lot here. It feels experimental almost in it's layout. I like the animations here and there, and the fly out section for bio is kind of cool. I especially love the way the portfolio examples load. It's the same...
f-i.com infographic
I'm not sure this page really qualifies as a "website" in terms of the gallery, but goddamn it I love this page's design. It's largely an info-graphic about fi's flash based website but the graphics are so very impressive and the layout becomes a large info-graphic...
Big Omaha QR Code Game
Submitted by: John Henry Müller Role: Designer Selective Perspective Detective Objective or SPDO (pronounced: spee-doh) is a interactive seek and find game for Big Omaha conference. This is a good example of a pretty simple, straightforward site that manages to come...
guyvernes.com
This is such a cool website design. It's very rich on imagery and interactions as well. As you scroll things just come alive here and there and that's such a nice experience. Love this site.

Submitted by: Henry Brown @Henryz14 Role: Designer & Developer henry.brown.name Henry has a fun, simple portfolio site that does a good job of showing off his skills. The infographics are cheeky (27.33% of life completed - ok, that's a bit morbid, but still fun) and...
d3.do
Smart design making the home page pretty much nothing but a portfolio like view of the posts. I dig it, what I don't dig is the expand for more button/arrow below each column, it's a bit weird to utilize in practice. I do love that crazy background pattern and the...

wearefloat.com
Nice surprise when you start to scroll on this site, the way the lines are designed it's totally unexpected to have the header fixed like that. I like the way the pages' content are laid out as well, very open and yet full as you scroll down each page. Very cool feel...
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...

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...
