Web Design Inspiration Curated

1Password

This site is a little tricky, I wanted to feature the page for the 1Password product most of all on their site, I just liked it the most. For the most part the site is designed well, the thing I like most is the main navigation bar/header area. It stays fixed at the...

ronniewright.co.uk

I think this is an update to the home page of ronniewright.co.uk, at any rate it's pretty good. I like the collage style of putting elements around the page like he's done, it makes it really interesting. I do think most people will expect the elements to do things,...

atebits.com

This site isn't new by any means but honestly I wanted to get it into the gallery here at UMS because it's a great website. Atebits builds simple software and their site is a testament to simplicity and quality. Everything about this site is outstanding, there's even...

e-schneider-garten.de

Great background/side images on this site. I love the real world "earthy" elements on this site. I'm not 100% sold on the scrolling page vs. pages, but it seems to work.

designjunction.com.au

Really nice coloring and smooth typography, it's subtle. I like the way the home page is laid out, but I feel like there's just too much copy on there, I don't really want to read all of it and I suspect most people won't either. I like the clean design of the sub...

getsatisfaction.com

Here's the updated Get Satisfaction website. I think this is a huge improvement over the old design (which wasn't that bad mind you.) The simplistic illustrations really stand out an give the site character, it's overall much simpler and cleaner in what it's asking...

Brand New

It's the new(ish) Brand New, from our friend Armin Vit who was gracious enough to do an interview with us a wile back.. This is one of the better design resources on the web IMHO. I love the simplicity of it, and the pattern used in the "padding" space in between the...

3yz.com

Nice layout on this website, I also really love the headline text treatment. I felt a little duped on the work samples page when I couldn't actually get any more content, even though the "links" have a roll over treatment.

twitter.com

Can't remember the last time I even went to the twitter.com home page, probably the last time my session expired, it's been a while. To see this new home page launch really gets you going. I think Biz explains the reasoning behind the re-design best in his blog post...

FireHost

Submitted by Casey Barthels, @barthesis. From top to bottom, this site has an extraordinary attention to detail. Not only in the design, but in the development as well. Design, illustration, animation, experience all working together to solidify the brand feel and...

buell.com

Found via @kenseals. This is a sub page, not the home page, but check out that drop down navigation design, I love that. It gives you plenty of info to decide if you want to click through for more info, almost entirely eliminating any pogo-sticking you may do as a...

Labile Booking

Submitted by Pino Ceniccola, Designer & Developer. Labile is a tiny and greaceful booking agency for indie bands based in Italy. The website, just redesigned, embraces the project in a minimal way, featuring a Last.fm mashup. Super simple concept for a home page, that...

Submitted by Zach Dunn @onemightyroar, Designer & Developer. One Mighty Roar is a web design & development company that also runs a network of creativity-centric blogs. This design is centered around bold titles and a palette of purples on a minimal white background....

kongstad.me

This site works mostly as a really fancy business card with work samples. It's quite simple and effective if you think about it this way I think. There's of course the lightbox style script launching work samples in the pop up window, that never gives me the full...

jameschambers.co.uk

Submitted by James Chambers, Designer & Developer. Portfolio of James Chambers, a London based freelance designer and developer. I love the clean nature of this design, the black and white style makes it very stark and plays up any slight color changes and images used...

graphic-all-design.co.uk

Submitted by Robin van rijn, @robinvanrijn, Designer. Just a nice clean website showing my portfolio. Pretty good, freelancer style website design. I like the texture and coloring in this site. It has some of the expected javascript animation type stuff, like the...

npr.org

The new NPR website, found via @lprill. The new NPR site shares a lot in common with some of the new(ish) types of blog themes i've seen. Like most websites of this size it has a tremendous amount of content to contend with and it seems to pull off good organization...
