Web Design Inspiration Curated

speaklight.com (v2)

Nice rework of the Light CMS website. It keeps some remnants of the past design's colors, but this is much more open and utilizes the white background much better I think. It may be a bit heavy on feature listings on the home page but they are designed/treated well.

Really an absurdly simple website, but that's what makes is work for me. No fancy stuff, just presented work. I also like how all the weight is put on the footer area instead of the header. It's a nice divergence from the standard style of giant headline and...

Well well, it looks like we've found the "unmatched style" of t-shirt designs! Very nice, subtle use of textures and background patterns on this site. The predominantly black and white (with some red) color scheme allows the showcased designs to really stand out....

31three.com (v2)

This design isn't new, but I was a little surprised to see that we hadn't put it in the gallery over the past couple years. It's a really great design and one i've looked at quite a few times when looking for inspiration on my own design projects. We featured the...

Good looking portfolio site design. It's simple and clean and I like the way each project is displayed visually. It's gets a little monotonous as there are a bunch on the page and I really would like to see a different detail look at each project other than a light...

Good looking site design, clean grid and nice visual rhythm as you scan from top to bottom. The colors stand out and make you take notice and the portfolio pages have just the right amount of insight into each project.

Pretty interesting design here. I love the use of the photos and photo realistic elements. I like how they were able to keep the look consistent across all the pages and put the content up towards the top of each page. I wonder how much the photos with link text below...

Nice looking blog design, great illustrations and great posts. It's really quite simple and honestly there's not much there design wise, but coupled with great illustration and solid basic design it shines. Simplebits icons help too!

This is a rather interesting looking home page. It's purely graphical in nature and really is easy to scan and understand. The little three step process main graphic is so clear and easy to grasp. The colors are interesting and the entire page is well laid out and...

Great simple looking site. I love the colors and the sign up form fields are very well placed and focused on. Nice touches on the interactions like the video/tour, etc. Good looking product site!

gowalla.com

I love Gowalla (a super great iPhone app/game) and I really like their website too. The colors are not typical and the icons are just gorgeous, though I'd expect gorgeous icons from these guys. The site is so simple and targeted, one could learn a lot about designing...

I love the sharp angular and boxy feeling to this design. It's small and cramped feeling but I like it in this case. It's so clean and easy to use looking. The only thing that bugs me is how light all the gray text is, it could be darker, but the site looks great and...

snook.ca (v3)

New update for the website of Jonathan Snook. I think I like this design much better than the previous site design. It's simple and minimal and really focuses me on the posts of which he some great ones!

Yayadog.com

Pretty interesting site design, I really like the illustrations here and the overall feel of the design elements. I think the typography is lacking a bit and could use some help, but overall I really dig this design.

Andy Clarke (work)

It may be unfair to feature a site twice, but this work section of Andy Clarke's website just made me smile. I love the way it's been designed and just thought you all would like to check it out if you haven't already. Gotta love the design treatment here!

I like the strong red used here and the little 3D style elements are quite nice. I'd love to see how their logo works when it's not on this website, the 3D page element is nice but how does it translate to say a business card. Nice touch though. As noted by Antoine,...

Super simple layout with this site, but it just emphasizes the font samples so well. The header is really the most "designed" aspect of the site and it's really well done and clever. Not to mention being a great read and resource.

giblette.com

This is really a beautiful looking website design. I love the colors and layout of the home page. The little half circle details are good little additions too. Nice typography and layout make this site stand out as well.

halogy.com

This is a really clean and simple design. The logo is interesting and makes you look twice, even though it's really very simple. The entire website is simple and to the point.

I love the off kilter feeling to this design, the large circles really make me take notice. The black and white nature of the design gives it a sort of classiness that balances out the simple nature of it. The portfolio also shares a nice quirky layout too.
