Web Design Inspiration Curated

iconeden.com – blog

I love this blog from IconEden.com. The illustrative style is super cool, with the clipboard concept and even the pen and ribbon. It's just cool and classic feeling. Plus it's using a wood background and making it cool, nice!

bakersfieldoktoberfest.com

Love me some Oktoberfest, and a website dedicated to one deserves some attention. I really dig the typography and illustrative details on this design, it's generally very fitting and makes me want some Spaten and Schweinebraten...

gusso.me

Cool example of a fixed nav here on the right side of the site. I dig the white vs. dark background in this design too. I love the type in the main logo/display header. Cool site.

samgilbeydesigns.com

Pretty cool and minimal looking website design. I dig the type treatment on the headlines but I feel like the size set for the body copy is a little small and doesn't have enough contrast. Overall I like the approach to the layout and the colors are nice too. I...

colosseotype.com

Very nicely done website for Cameron Moll's Colosseo poster and other related work. It's just a single page site really with links to the bigcartel product pages (which are also nicely done). The site really shows off the poster and offers up plenty of details for...

brewfestgb.com

Rather simple design, but I love it. The earthy color and sparing red makes for good hierarchy on the page. I love how the fixed nav works as you scroll down. The main logo/header scrolls up to the point of the horizontal nav and then it sticks, very nicely done.

mobilevikings.com

Love the texture and tan and dark grey colors working together with the red for focus. Really kind of a straight forward design but it's made to look really visually interesting.

webteam.furness.net

Really nice, complete, professional looking website design. This website is doing just about everything right. Great detail, solid grid and texture, I love it. You just know by looking at this site that this company is going kick ass for you on your website project.

sonia.nudge.ca

sonia.nudge.ca is a nice single page site that has one really interesting feature. The hover state on her h tags is nothing less than epic. By utilizing multiple text shadows and animating the transition between the neutral and hover state she has created an...

g2geogeske.com

Really interesting fixed-height type of design. I like how it's unique in it's layout, with the super huge background picture and the colors are just excellent. I'm not wild about each page not being very unique though. The experience is good enough for me and there's...

denisechandler.com

denisechandler.com is all about personality. The illustrative graphic header, the hand drawn boxes and the animated hover-states create an incredibly active and energetic site. The structure of denisechandler.com is somewhat simplistic but provides a rock solid...

archiduchesse.com

archiduchesse.com is a simple site that conveys its primary goal well. I didn't translate it to english but I think I can venture the guess that they sell socks, and in so many colors! Seriously, the colored socks look pretty epic when presented as a solid grid. The...

mindwork3d.com

Another non-traditional type website layout in terms of the grid display of the work. But then as you start to dig in it turns into a single page type scrolling site and in my opinion the experience of it is very engaging. Somehow more so for me on this site that most...

lunamedia.co.uk

I really like the vibe of this website. The background is nice and soothing to look at and having it set along with the nav/sidebar to not scroll is a nice toch. I also like the way the design uses the icons from the different service areas to quickly inform you of...

wordrefuge.com

Love the two column layout on the home page. The tone of the coloring and textures makes this site inviting and classic. The red is a great addition in places that demand your attention. I like the "get a quote" form fly out too, I've seen that type of thing before...

opencongress.org

This website has so much content it's amazing to me when I see the work of IA's that know what they are doing like in this example. There's also a very subtle and well done interaction experience going on in almost every nook & cranny of the page. The search field...

wearesynapse.com

I'm kind of torn on this website. On one hand it's really awesome interaction. I also really love the interaction animations over the nav and how you interact with the images that represent each project too. Then again, I think this sort of experience can be...

bakerassociates.com

This design is interesting to me, it's mainly a dark background driven design but it's one of the few that feels open to me. The spacing between objects is very nicely done. I like colors too, it's wide open with so many in play but it feels restrained almost at the...

twogiraffes.com

I LOVE the illustration work on this website, they immediately put this site over the top for me. Each page has it's own unique illustration that makes me click on every page. Outside of that the design is sharp and focused and easily communicates in fun way to it's...

mikekus.com

The new(ish) portfolio site for Mike Kus (@mikekus) is simply amazing. I love the way the design sample images are arranged, it just pulls you into the website. Scrolling down this long portfolio/home page is just fun. There's a bit of whimsy in Mike's work as well...
