Web Design Inspiration Curated

vancouver2010.com

Jay and I seem to disagree, hear it all in the screen cast. Overall Jay thinks it's well done and I think it's overwhelming. To be fair any Olympic site has a ton of content to deliver and it's a huge undertaking for sure. Visually speaking, look and feel wise, we...

Element Fusion 10

The 10 year anniversary announcement page for Element Fusion. Honestly If my company made it 10 years i'd create a website to announce it too. Congrats guys! I kind of dig this page, it's function is very much akin to an email newsletter design. The JavsScript time...

wurkit.com

Submitted by Dan Ritz, @danritz. Designer & Developer. The Wurkit is extremely efficient, I'm not normally a big fan of the single page website layout, but when they work they really make you look at all the content. This site does just that, with the video blog like...

bookcoverarchive.com

Aside form being an awesome design resource this design gallery gives you lots of covers to view at one time, the trouble is there's tons of them. I'm not sure the drop-selector really holds together when you get into things like titles of book, etc... Overall though...

freegobbler.com

There's really not much here aside from a nice illustration. Without that the whole thing really falls apart, but that's my point with featuring this site. I see a lot of websites that are just the typical formula for trendy website design, what I don't see a lot of...

Ryan O’Rourke (V3)

I've been enjoying every update Ryan does to his website. Mainly reworking the home page every few months. It's come to be something I expect to see new and enjoy. This one is pretty good, with the large brain illustration. Mainly existing as an introduction page and...

Submitted by Taylor Satula, @taylorsatula. Designer & Developer. Three Pixel Drift is a standards compliant web design company that focuses on usability and search engine optimization among other web design disciplines. Pretty cool single page layout. I like the...

rekn.it

Minimal design, using great little illustrations to tell the story of what the site is about. Pretty ingenious idea and execution of the design.

ligatureloopandstem.com

I love the look and feel of this website, the typography is really great. The detail is superb. What I think is problematic is the side scrolling feature, the little dots at the very top are not quite as obvious as maybe they should be. There's not much that isn't...

New Zealand Int. Arts Festival

Really neat website. This thing is so full of content and interactive functionality it's kind of misleading. The design at first glance makes it look like there isn't quite as much here as there really is. Julia and dig into some details in our screen-cast review of...

siliconprairienews.com

There's a lot going on visually with this site, but it's really well done. It uses a typical/expected blog format to the design. The two column layout also makes it really easy to take in visually and information wise. The drop-down navigation is nice and clean and...

francescycles.com

This design relies heavily on good photography, if it weren't for that the design would fall apart, that's part of the great design of this site. If you have great photography to work with, to tell the story of the company the website is for, it can really be a great...

goslingo.com

Oliver James Gosling's website is top-notch. We're loving this one-pager, check out the screen-cast review for more of Julia and my detailed comments. The site was designed by Drop Studio, and for that I couldn't give Oliver enough kudo's. Many developers would go it...

thesixtyone.com

The Sixty One is a very interesting design case. They've taken this site from your standard fare website design to something that's wholly different and engaging. Both Jay and Julia here at UMS had noticed this site very early on, being music aficionados they...

markboultondesign.com

Loving the new Mark Boulton Design website, we loved it so much we recorded a screen-cast review of it. The typography is of course immaculate and it goes without saying that this design uses a strong grid system, it's actually a clinic in both departments. The site...

nicu.ws

Submitted by Nicu Iordachescu. Designer & Developer. Really great minimal website design. I love the giant image of the most recent work. It presents it like a piece of art somehow. I also really like the little horizontal scroll bar in the top left corner set of...

teamexcellence.com

I like the big bold info-graphics used on the home page of the Team Excellence website. There's a ton of information on this site, graphs and charts and psychological explanations and the design makes it all seem like it's accessible to anyone. A good design can do...

yaronschoen.com

This is absolutely a beautiful design. It's got everything I love in a website, illustrations, fine detail, the highest level of craftsmanship. Listen to our screen-cast review of the site for more details. The short list of my favorite parts of this site are the...
