Web Design Inspiration Curated

thecoastalcupboard.com

There is a ton of fine detail work built into this website design. It's so very thorough and I found myself spending like 30 minutes all told just looking at all the little corners of this site. Each page while not being 100% unique each time (which just isn't...

octophant.us

Found via @TrentWalton What a great portfolio / portfolio site from @phineas: http://octophant.us Animal hybrids have a special place in my heart, so does the Octophant... Super great illustration is the core of this website so the overall design elements shouldn't...

fe.rocious.com (v2)

Giovanni reviewed the previous version of the fe.rocious.com design so now it's my turn. I love this design, from the colors to the background image it's great. The main navigation layout is really fun, it borders on almost not looking like a navigation, but it pulls...

danhigbie.com

Really nice effect with the fixed nav area and the background, I love how they overlay and the way that looks when you scroll. The illustration work is fun and light hearted too. Nice slight transparency in the fixed footer. The sub pages are also different enough...

CSS-Tricks.com


Breaking down the new CSS-Tricks.com website design with Chris Coyier. From media queries to css transitions to the forum this site has it all.

inserviowebsolutions.co.uk

My favorite thing to see in a website design is someone who takes a concept that's really simple and does something fantastic looking with it. Like in the case of the Inservio Web Solutions website, by taking a relatively simple website and layering in some...

interlinkconference.com

Hat tip to Cris Coyier of css-tricks.com for pointing out this site & conference. Nice textures employed in the background and on the type treatments. I really dig the colors, the black and the light blue are really nice together on this site. The conference looks...

pinkturkey.com

There's really a lot to this website. The illustrations carry all the content in a strong direction, makes it interesting. I also like how it's a big mix up of a single page scrolling design and other deeper sub pages throughout. The "incubator" illustrations creeps...

erskinelabs.com

Blog design for Erskine Design. It's very Tumbler-like in it's basic orientation, with the media like segmentation of content. It's beautifully designed and executed too. I love how the header nav bar and content type icons slide up together to cover over the logo...

arpaonline.ca

Submitted by: Lea Alcantara (@lealea) Role: Designer & Developer It's a quantum leap to the future from where it was originally: static pages, no CMS, random sub-domains for no particular reason, outdated (dare I say ugly?) design, and it was just a general, unusable...

abutler.net

Nice bold layout and strong colors used in large areas make this design sing. I like the almost oversized sections and elements of this design. I also really like how each page is just a little bit different in terms of the content layout. That's a nice touch that...

thesearethings.com

Submitted by: Omar Noory (@thesearethings) Role: Designer & Developer We just finished our new and revamped site (a previous site of mine was on here: thisisallido.com). We're really happy with how it turned out! It uses some fun new CSS3 things like border-radius,...

gmedia.co.uk

Overall this is a fairly simple and straight forward design, but the diagonal lines make it stand out for me. I could take or leave the magenta color but I like the blue and light blue.

davidhellmann.com

The thing I like most here is the size of the illustration, it plays into the scrolling nature of the browser quite well. It's a little bit of an experience to scroll the thing down. When you do this, you come to the footer which is very nicely designed too. The...

radillustrator.com

I really like the background design for this site. There are also some details that I especially like, the "buy print" call to action is really smart looking. I also like the compact navigation "box" a great deal. I do think the "back to top" link is a little hard to...

titividal.com.br

I really love these colors and that twitter bird illustration is pretty great too. I think the fixed nav/header is placed very well and I like how it's been devised.

railsforzombies.org

Submitted by: Jason VanLue (@jasonvanlue) An all new way to learn Ruby on Rails in the browser. It's fun, easy to use, and who doesn't love a site with a bunch of zombies on it? Zombies are just cool. When you can mix web development and zombies, then you're cool....

I love the large image slider placed on top of that wonderful textured background. It really adds some depth to the design. I dig the drop caps too! Overall this is a nice clean design despite the textures, the 2 column layout also keeps the site focused visually.
