Web Design Inspiration Curated

iamsubzero.com

Cool use of the fixed header/navigation and more interactivity on the sub pages. I can take or leave the dark background but it looks like the product itself is in a black container to it seems a very fitting choice.

Apple.com

In our screen cast Giovanni and I talk about the newness/updates to apple.com. First off it's not the overall website we're interested in it's the new interactions they've added. When you load the site the main navigation is darker and it "drops" into the site, then...

pixelfusion.co.nz

I like the way the different sections of this home page are done, the central element is the big slideshow and then more stuff as you scroll down the page. It's a single page site, largely static with the exception of that slideshow. I like the green and the...

theborsky.com

A nice simple looking website design that relies quite heavily on its typography for the layout. I dig it. Clear call to action with the green button in the middle of the page (though that shape doesn't communicate 'click me' instantly). I love the logo type in the...

madebyparachute.com

I love the detail work in this website design. The textures and edges to all the shapes are superb. My favorite part is how the logo type scrolls up under the globe part of the logo and shopping selection links stay fixed under it. That's just fun to watch over and...

childpsychologist.com.au

The first thing you notice when you visit this website is that the overall design really matches the name "Quirky Kid Clinic". The look and feel of the design is definitely "quirky", the illustrations match up well too. The textures are also quite wonderful too.

beanstalkapp.com

We use Beanstalk here for our web design business and i've always liked Wildbit's apps. I noticed they'd redesigned the Beanstalk website a while back and always meant to put it in the gallery. So here it is. I like how the screen shots of the app are minimized next...

scribbleandtweak.com

This is a really strong design with the info-graphics that are employed, it brings such a deep detail to the website that it makes you really want to dig for more. The single page scrolling nature of this website design is well implemented here too. Each 'section' of...

webdesignfutures.co.uk

Here's a fun looking website design. The illustration of the tree, then with the pop up bubbles for each person's name that links to their detail page is pretty engaging. It makes me want to explore each person's information. I like the sub page design too, the...

letsmove.gov

The Let's Move website is a really nice mix of detail work and generality. I think the design is open in the sense that anyone can relate to it. It's youthful without employing comic sans, it's colorful without going too far off the deep end with color, it's got some...

launchlist.net (Pro)

The Launchlist Pro site design is as fun as the original free version. I love the animated clouds and icons/illustrations. The feel of this site is just great. Particularly the background image/pattern, it's very rich looking. One of the great surprises in this layout...

unitedstatesartists.org

There is a lot of neat interface work done on this website. From the US map on the home page made up of images to the side scroller on the projects page, it's engaging in both it's layout and interactions. I'm not totally wild about the black background, it seems to...

nordkapp.fi

Pretty cool looking single page site. I really like how the nav take a little bit to load and fades in to be just slightly different than it was before. Makes you really take notice of it. The stark black and white gives it a sense of class and style too. I also like...

pointlesscorp.com

Pointlesscorp.com is a project by Viget, and a it's a really fun website to discover. The overall design is very well done, very fun and very thorough. Largely just a small site to house Viget's 'pointless' project ideas, it really exists to show us all how truly...

jstraining.de

Pretty neat looking single page scrolling design. I love how the call to action is static and kind of follows you down the page. I dont' find that I miss a traditional navigation while looking over this site either, that's a testament to scrolling if you ask me.

stickybits.com

I really dig this big bold design. But at the same time that it's bold it's also quite soft and welcoming. The illustrations are almost 'child's toy' like, setting the tone for a fun experience. The sub pages and especially the blog are well done. Overall the...

ronlewhorn.com

I'm really impressed with the new look for @ronlewhorn's new site: http://t.co/bE2iSl6 - @trentwalton The illustration work is the heart of this website, largely just a portfolio it does the job it was designed for very well. Giovanni and I made a screen cast review...

espnw

This sports blog pretty much matches up with the overall ESPN visual style. The bold red and blue colors make it visually loud. But since it's focus is much narrower than the main site it can be much more toned down content wise, which is really nice. I like the...

mobi-cart.com

Submitted by: Wladimir Baranoff-Rossine (@MobiCart) Role: Founder & CEO The site was designed in HTML5 and CSS3 by renowned speaker and author Andy Clarke, who has recently published his best selling book: http://hardboiledwebdesign.com/ Andy has documented the whole...

chicago2011.drupal.org

The DrupalCon Chicago website is a wonderful mixture of illustration and solid layout. Almost every detail in the illustrations represent Chicago and Drupal Dev, very clever looing. I really like the line work on everything, the shapes/boxes match up perfectly with...
