Web Design Inspiration Curated

lillystable.com

Really great, single page, single purpose website/page. It's to get you to sign up for the email delivery of the receipts service. Very cleverly design, the big bold background image makes you focus on the blog link, while you are really quickly drawn to the sign up...

I really like the big bold pictures and colors, the three columns in the bottom of the page really stand out nicely. I gotta say though, when you put text pre-filled in a form field you have to make it go away when I click in the field. But the placement and visual...

Alright I hate to be negative but there are a lot of things going on here that bother me so here goes.. I'm not a huge fan of the clouds - I guess I feel like I'm about to be introduced to some new web app but maybe it just has a similar setup to a lot of those...

edenbee.com

This turns out to be a really clean and open design. Very simplified layout and keeps all the content easy to read and access, which is really important because there is so much of it to take in. I love the details like the icons and very well thought out use of color.

I really like the color bands across the very top and bottom of this website. I've seen that before, but it's used well here. I also dig the main navigation mouse-over treatment and the series of images across the top area. Really nice feeling from this website, it's...

St. Andrew’s Presbyterian

Submitted by Ian Soper, @imsoper. Presbyterian Church in Maryland. Site features a custom WordPress theme, Flickr and Google calendar Integration. I designed the site to a) work well with their new logo/branding, have a creative and organic, and fun feel, but still,...

Click-Boom

This is a really nice, simple two page portfolio site. The light blue text really pops off the screen and I really like the rounded typeface. The subtle gradients and drop shadows on the portfolio page add just enough to keep it from being too stark. I like how the...

Hull Digital Live 09

I really like the scribbly, sketchy look going on on this site. It's cool and accessible and adds a bit of interest to a fairly simple site. The muted colors really work well with the skecth and the texture. I would like to see the huge header get smaller on the...

Older Graphic Designer

This is a strange site. First of all, the name. After reading the intro I still had no clue, I thought that perhaps this person's name was 'Older', but it wasn't. After reading the about 'page', turns out it's a bit of a joke (I think), a title that Jack has bestowed...

macsbeer.com

This site has some really cool things going on, the background is very rich and I love the green colors paired with the red. The navigation is really flat and boring, that could really be cleaned up and given some love to possibly push this design into the great...

designhotels.com

I love the clean, black and white feel of this site and having the images be the only real color on the page. I like the visual rhythm in the layout and elements as you scroll down the page, I think the navigation in the top right is kind of small for it to be stacked...

jeffersoncountytn.gov

Sites for government entities or large bureaucratic organizations like this are hard to do because there is usually an enormous amount of content, mostly text, that somehow needs to be accessible to many audiences within one click. On top of that there are usually...

Squarefactor.com

Big single page, scrolling layout. I think the design of this site is really playful and hip feeling. I like a lot of the background imagery and typography here. Nice black and white work too. As with a lot of these single page scrolling sites I tend to find myself...

indielabs.com

Single page sites are all the rage right now right? At least it seems that way, I think Indie Labs sets the tone for the cool single page site though. I love this page/site. Great typography and detail throughout the page, leaves me wanting more.

hellobrute.com

I love portfolios of illustrators, they are always so much fun to discover. I love the logo, that it's created by his handwriting style and I love the simplicity of the site and how it really makes you focus on the work itself. The site is black and white and the work...

The Morning News

I'm not sure how new this design is, I feel like I've seen it for awhile since I occasionally end up on this site for some reason or another. That said, we haven't featured it before and it's just a beautiful site. The layout is very near perfect. There are three main...

virb

This site is so chock full of fine details and great layout I don't even know where to start. This could be an epic post, i'll keep it quick here (maybe we'll do a full app review one day...). Now I know it's not a new design, that's its been around for a while now,...

The Plant

I really like the way this site manages to come across as whimsical and playful but still gets across the point that they do serious work. The copy on the home page that says "the team that can turn your tech fantasies into reality" meshes well with the graphics,...

Albumdruck

So this site definitely doesn't break any new ground. It has a couple of the elements of recent design trends like Museo (I'll forgive anyone for using it, though, it's such a beautiful typeface) for titles and a 'ribbon' element. Still, this is a very well designed...

SixCentral

This is a really great website design. I love the detail work, it shows a real thoroughness to the design that makes me want to check out the app even more. I love the email signup form in the footer, details like that really make my day. Check out the video review...
