Web Design Inspiration Curated
workdiary.de
This portfolio site is simple in design, but strong in execution. I love the immediate presentation of the work samples. The whole layout and contrast work really well together. I also like the bits of jQuery touches throughout. Opening a work sample almost feels like...
makingconnectionseveryday.com
So I'm definitely not the target for this site, and I can safely say that probably 100% of people reading this aren't either. The whole point of this is for Coca-cola to tell McDonald's and their franchise owners that 'Hey, we're awesome! We love you guys! Please...
summitbrewing.com
What I like most about this site are the interactions. The oversized dropdown navigation elements are pretty well done. I actually like the slight transparency used on them. I also love the way the beer examples are interacted with in the bottom of the home page....
brewminer.com
Submitted by: Matt Reed @mcreed Role: Designer & Developer The inspiration came from a bottle of Jack, in more ways than one. Most of the homebrew sites are usually tan with browns and burnt oranges so the white on black seemed to be a nice departure color wise. The...
stopthevom.com
Submitted by: Miki Mottes @mikimottes Role: Designer & Developer Well, it's my design, but I think it's nice 🙂 It's hand-drawn and made for my new iPhone game. I mean, it's just another single page site for an iPhone app but damn if it isn't chock full of some really...
posterous.com
I like the new(ish) posterous.com website. I think I feel a big review type post coming on in regards to the Posterous home page history... maybe one day here soon. I really like the three signup form fields all lined horizontally. It makes it feel like a fast form...
morehazards.com
Submitted by: Jason O'Brien @zenworm Role: Designer & Developer This is simply a beautiful website. I love the typography and overall vibe of this site. It's only amplified for me with the responsive design approach and then the almost subtle vertical parallax. It's...
madebyvadim.com
Submitted by: Vadim Sherbakov @Madebyvadim Role: Designer Developer Pretty cool vibe created with the cool grays and the illustrations. The type all works pretty well together too creating a nice solid piece of design work. I find myself wanting more in the execution...
marklawrencedesign.com
Submitted by: Mark Lawrence @MarkL_Design Role: Designer & Developer Looks like this site has been featured in a few design galleries already but that doesn't diminish it's quality. It's a super nice vertical scrolling parallax approach. I especially like how the down...
hooppps.com
Submitted by: Michael Parenteau @parenteau Role: Designer & Developer I think that I have improved the desktop browser landing experience. It was not originally called out that the app in the iPhone screenshot on the left of the page was functional. Also, I have...
getyowza.com
Submitted by: Jonathan Longnecker @necker47 fortysevenmedia.com Role: Designer This site has a lot of nice elements. Nice noisy texture on many of the backgrounds, attention to detail in things like drop shadows and lines, and good choices of fonts and colors. My only...
giftrocket.com
Submitted by: Kapil Kale @kapilvkale Role: Developer Recently redesigned by Mike Kus. Emphasis on textures and illustration, with big friendly typography. Translation of a gift card to the modern web. I LOVE the GiftRocket website design. It really comes strong with...
invisionapp.com
I really like the Invisionapp.com website design, it's also a pretty swell prototyping tool. It's clean and sells visually that the app is solid. There's a clear call to action and the colors used really make it consistent across the page. It has a very well thought...
sageflyfish.com
I don’t know the first thing about fly-fishing, but this site makes me want to learn more. The imagery is awesome and gives the site a documentary feel. There’s tons of info about the rods, reels, etc but the presentation of the content makes it underwhelming yet easy...
hry.rbrts.me
Submitted by: Harry Roberts @csswizardry Role: Designer & Developer My personal hub-site, fully responsive, and the code is on GitHub for people to look through: https://github.com/csswizardry/hry.rbrts.me/ Another great version of Harry Roberts' site here. I like the...
appmiral.com
Submitted by Frederik Declerck @fred_dec Submitted it because he liked the site and Fred's an awesome guy! A beautiful 1-page website where the 'crab' leads you through the different parts of the website in an awesome, dynamic way. The navy theme is well chosen for...
unlayered.com
Submitted by: Juani Ruiz Echazu @heyimjuani Role: Designer & Developer Even though I released it not that long ago, I've been working on this for around 6 months. I wanted something similar to tumblr, but running on Wordpress; I hadn't done anything on WP 3.0 back...
epidemialab.it
This is a pretty cool looking single page website design. I like the concept and the naming. I even like the scrolling. I am confused over the animated navigation sections though, it feels unnecessary to me. Overall nice looking design though.
contrivedigital.com
This site makes a striking first impression. The bold red and the crossing lines and angular shapes make for a dynamic look. The black and white photos work well and each 'page' is different and interesting. Some of the pages work better than others, however. The...
mihaibalea.info
Submitted by: Mihai Balea @bomasmd Role: Designer & Developer Simple and modern design using HTML5/CSS3 and jquery. This is pretty straight forward in terms of personal sites, but there’s nice attention to detail and interactions throughout. There’s also a nice...

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...
