Web Design Inspiration Curated

wearehunted.com

This is a great website. It's deceptively simple. There are lots of little interactions that appear hidden at first look on this site that are actually quite deep and fun to use. The main grid of images of the musicians is straight forward enough, but the next and...

Lynn Cyr

Submitted by Lynn Cyr, @LynnCyrArtist. Designer. I usually love sites that have a real hand-drawn, rough and sketchy feel, this one has that but it doesn't quite go all the way. I like the large photo of Lynn, and it achieves the most important part of any personal...

weluv.it

Really cool looking side-scrolling website design. I love the photography but I then get drawn into the simple yet sexy design of this site. Nice clean typography, nice easy to understand navigation and usability (even though it scroll sideways.) Love it.

boxee.tv (redesign)

Redesign for the Boxee.tv site (we covered their previous version here.) I love the fly out menus with the forms and stuff in them. The fly "down" vimeo video is pretty clever too, I don't think i've ever seen anything quite like that. Simple as it is it's a pretty...

IGN Entertainment

This is a pretty awesome looking website. I like the use of the scrolling page effect here, with the static nav bar at the top it's really successful. I say that because, for example, when you click the "contact" link it loads a different page, no sliding effect and...

Jarred Bishop

This site baked my noodle. At first I just started scrolling down then I realized something weird was going on. The background was doing something weird but I couldn't quite put my finger on. It took a minute to really grasp what was going on but it's actually a...

mattbudd.co.uk

Submitted by Matthew Budd, @matthewbudd. Designer & Developer. Original dark and creepy design, stands out from the crowd and uses a lot of modern techniques to make the design look great but also make the content very accessible. Sufficiently creepy is what Gio and I...

indofolio.com

Pretty awesome looking portfolio site, I always love it when designers make their sites themselves the work that gets shown off. I mean when you don't have a ton of commercial work to put in your portfolio just kick some ass on your own site. This one is pretty great,...

brettterpstra.com

Good looking site with some nifty features. I like the sidebar that scrolls and sticks with you and the interactions on the main nav and work samples in the left sidebar are subtle and well done. I also like the 3D styling for the header shapes. Nice work.

onetwentyseven.com

Damn I love museo, I promise this isn't the only reason this site made it into the gallery. I do love the background's subtle texture and the colors are very nice. I love that particular green. The little javascript extras are really nice too, not too much either. One...

wildfireapp.com

I like the "large" feeling to all the elements on this site. There's also some nice detail work in the elements on the page(s) too. The thing that I love most about this page is the "sign up" button, that's just nice with the overlayed arrow/square shape. The thing...

informationhighwayman.com

I love the visual subtlety and the not-so-subtle content paired together like this. The site is simple beautiful with the textures, colors and imagery all working together. I especially like the over state on the logo, surprising and almost hidden. This site doesn't...

The Old State (redesign)

Submitted by Travis McElroy, @TheOldState. Designer & Developer. Recent full site redesign. Hope you enjoy it! We've featured The Old State before as well as their blog, the Statement. These guys do great work and they pay great attention to their own branding and web...

websiteburo.com

Pretty great typography and spacing of all the type and elements as you scroll down the site. I like the subtle interactions and fragile feeling the thin lines take on. Good dark background site design here.

Riot Industries

Found via @squaredeye loving the interactions at http://riotindustries.com/ Pretty clever interactions on this site, I like the feeling of sorting rather than loading new images or pages that it gives. Very beautiful colors and type to boot. Lots and lots of things to...

preserveproducts.com

Very clean and well organized product based website. At first glance it comes off rather boring but the typography is top-notch and you can see the underlying architecture is well done. Our favorite part is the product gallery pages, how the image of the product is...

nicewebtype.com

Really nice multi-column design. I like the nav that stays static as you scroll down the page and how the 2-3 columns to the right start to break the past posts up into smaller blocks. The colors are also nice, I love the blue with the reddish/brown background.

designerscouch.org

Pretty neat looking designer network. I like the overall dark design with the contrast of the light background, that's an interesting pair. The grid in this design is rigorously followed and makes for a really tight looking site. The red color used here isn't too...

billytamplin.com

Submitted by Billy Tamplin, @rejectedrobot. Designer & Developer. Beautiful colors, layout an type. I love the large images that go with each post on the home page and the main navigation in the header is simply gorgeous. Love every aspect of this website.
