Web Design Inspiration Curated

nudgedesign.ca

I like the vibe of this website. The colors aren't typical and it just stands out. I love the design of the "services display" area in the middle of the home page, using the ampersand and negative space like that is pretty clever. I like the overly large bold feel of...

threadbird.com

Really superb website design in threadbird.com. From the subtle coloring to nifty typography I love this design. Font-face is a plus with the nicely done typography. I especially love the footer layout. It's bold and complete. The about us page is superbly organized...

swinkinc.com

Love the texture in this website design. The heavy illustrative feel to the design is nice too, and I like how it's all setup in a basic blog-like layout. My favorite part is the footer, with that large sawblade looking graphic and the way the site map like navigation...

bohemiadesign.co.uk

bohemiadesign.co.uk is an attractive little retail site. The palette is soft and cool throughout but the variety of texture keeps the site from feeling bland. Structure is simple but suits the need to display gobs of content on each page. When drilling down to learn...

struckaxiom.com

struckaxiom.com is another creative shop with a fairly innovative site design. The fixed header & footer combo is nice and the soft opacity animations keep scrolling smooth and easy on the eyes. The background grid is a little strong in places that lack stronger...

thinkvitamin.com (v3)

This is version 3 or so, at least since i've been following the Carsonified crew, of Think Vitamin. This design helps to bring their web brand inline more with their other websites, like the new members site and their past conference sites. As far as this one though,...

squaregirl.com

squaregirl.com is a super clean site with nice texture and subtle drop-shadows for depth. She has a wide array of excellent work to browse and sets it all off with a nice casual tone to her prose. I can't say I'm a fan of symbol only navigation but you land on the...

lostworldsfairs.com/atlantis/

This is the "Atlantis" website or page designed by Frank Chimero, a great design and my favorite of the three Lost World's Fair pages. The playfulness of the deep diving elevator makes for some really great moments as you scroll down the page to get to Atlantis. "The...

lostworldsfairs.com/moon/

This is the "Moon" website or page from the Lost World's Fairs website project designed by Jason Santa Maria. I love this design for "Moon", the visual depth is really nice. I also love the movement as you scale your browser window down and then back up. The little...

lostworldsfairs.com/eldorado/

'El Dorado' is one of three pages for the Lost Worlds Fairs site by The Friends of Mighty. Because IE9 (Oh, the horror! (Just kidding (sort of...)) now supports the .woff font format they decided to explore the possibilities of type on the web. As such, this site is...

lostworldsfairs.com

The Lost World's Fairs website and subsequent mini-sites or pages designed by some of the web's top designers and developed by the awesome guys at Paravel. The reasoning behind this whole website is because IE9 now supports the .woff font format, so they decided to...

sercanyeniyurt.com

I love the background illustration on this website, keeping it fixed is also a nice touch.

thirdculturestudios.com

Nice single page website design. I like how the nav scrolls up slightly and then sets as the rest of the page(s) scroll up with the content. Good illustrations and simple color scheme also help make this a nice looking design too.

madebytj.com

Pretty cool single page scrolling design. I like the simplicity of it and the strong reliance on typography for the layout. I especially like the 'resume' section of the site.

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.
