Web Design Inspiration Curated

aboard-entrepreneurship.com

Intriguing visual design for the Aboard Entrepreneurship site. I like the old-timey looking map used for the background and visual metaphor. The static navigation widget is also nifty looking, making for a neat scrolling experience, like you're on a ship charting your...

gauged2.com

I love this slideshow, the way it moves slightly as you mouse around on top of it. Mixed with the photography and tone of the content it really drives home that these guys are young, thoughtful and excited to work on your project. The portfolio section is also rather...

cappen.com

Intriguing layout with the strong triangular shapes played against the large circle holding the featured images. The interactions are just as interesting the way the showreel and about section is handled. There is a lot you could pick apart with this design but I like...

oregonstate.edu

Nice university website design. Solid grid and IA here. I like the interactions too, the expandable navigation menu under the main menu is a clever space saver and also empowers you as a visitor at the same time.

unitedpixelworkers.com

Really nifty idea, selling shirts up until a certain date then printing and shipping them. Almost makes it like an event. The site is super great looking too, the strong pixel graphic theme and branding really brings it home. Love the shirts and love the design. Great...

genessausageshop.com

Naming aside, I really like this site. I like how the navigation is all different type treatments, normally this just wouldn't work, but in this scenario it totally does and it's enjoyable at the same time. It's the branding that enables this, you get a really clear...

dailydropcap.com

he Daily Drop Cap is by now likely something you've seen before. The daily type inspiration site by Jessica Hische. Oh, and if you haven't seen this or heard of her, thank me later. The site is pretty straight forward, except for the content, wowzers. But, the detail...

le-tipi.com

Really nice open warm design. I suppose Tipis or Teepees, however you spell it, need a design like that to match your mental image of them. The colors are nice, they aren't overly "green" like you'd think which is cool, because it doesn't have to come off like that...

thenewhumanism.org

Really bold and stark design, yet there's something warm and inviting here. The colors are used masterfully to weld together the hard lines and black bold typography quite well. I love the graphic appeal of this site since it also matches well with the site's purpose...

electricpulp.com

Love the new Electric Pulp site design. Having the home page basically be the portfolio is also a nice approach to simplicity. After all it's what people come to your site for, why not just give it to them. This is a pretty smart example of a responsive design too....

markboulton.co.uk

Recent update to Mark Boulton's personal site/blog. Once again it's a great example of superior web design. It's just solid, you can feel the design basics in your soul when looking at this design. It's responsive as well, I encourage you to check out the differences...

flairbuilder.com

Neat looking product but also neat looking website. I like the main featured image there on the home page, with the magnified image spots. That's a pretty cool interactive surprise. The site has a lot of nice little details and is very clean and professional. The...

passionaboutdesign.com

Submitted by: Jose Alonso @alonsocreative Role: Designer & Developer Really great mixture of portfolio and business card style website design. I love the simplicity in the presentation of the content. The colors are great, the red and dark grays, super sleek feeling....

withoutyouitsjustnot.us

Really great feel to this design. I love the light blue with the soft radial gradient behind all the content. The texture in the main headline type is also very well done. It's a really simple website functionality wise but it's visually put together in a compelling...

banksimple.com

Really beautifully simple site. I love the way the site is arranged, the single page works really well here. The fixed header/nav keeps you visually informed of where you are quite nicely and subtly. It's also very cool to see many of the details being created with...

strangenative.com

Really great looking blog layout, I love the yellow background and the typography is a nice mix. The logo is my favorite part, it informs you and entertains you with the glasses and banner. Russ is also the creator of Type-a-file which we've enjoyed talking about in...

aussielivinghomes.com.au

There are some really interesting interactions in this design. The way the three main sections under the slideshow area work is cool looking when you discover it. Then when you goto a sub page there is a slide out set of three buttons that let you get the main three...

lukedorny.com

Really to me this site is truly a unique looking design. I love the multi-column layout and the approach technically. I love the change on the about page, that's a nice discovery as you are making your way through the site. There's also plenty of HTML5 and CSS...

evalotta.net sketchnotes

I love these types of sketch notes, these are legendary ones too. Eva-Lotta Lamm does some superior sketch note work in this volume. I can only hope they'll keep coming. But the site is very nice as well. The background sketch notes imagery is really fun, locking it...

christmas.biltmore.com

A bit past the season, but hey I just saw this. Lovely example of how you can create a nice little interactive experience, sell the holiday and not go overboard with animations. The simple slideshow like interactions are just enough to get you clicking around. The...
