Web Design Inspiration Curated

Newgroup Marketing

In a sea of design firm websites that all start to look the same the Newgroup site stands out. It's simple and the grid is clean but overall the way the elements are placed and the spacing used give it a unique flow. That helps the sections that are quite different...

Sagmeister Walsh

Website for the legendary Sagmeister design studio. Pretty interesting, but the most intriguing part is that the home page is a live feed from their office. So weird, and so cool.

Radar #145

Each week, we do a round up of curated "stuff from the interwebs" that we call Radar. In this week's 145th Radar: Racial Fault Lines in Silicon Valley A few weeks ago, I answered a question on Quora explaining how it feels to be a Black software engineer in Silicon...

Jürgen Hassler

Pretty innovative layout and approach to this designer's portfolio. I love the interactive details here. The overall approach is a vivid example of someone truly thinking outside the box. (see what I did there?) No, really, this site design is intriguing and really...

Small Victories

Pretty cool idea, but also a pretty cool site design. I dig how it's a hybrid scroll and page site. It's like you're flipping through pages as you scroll down. Kinda drives the idea home that it publishes stuff in your dropbox box as pages. Clever and well done.

It's a pretty simple design portfolio but it's different enough to elicit a pretty original response from me. I dig the way the project imagery seems to just cascade down the page visually. Pretty fun copy here and there too. The individual project pages are solid...

Piotr Zdanowicz

Nifty animations of the content loading as you scroll down for the first time. Overall the layout and tone gives a good reaction too. Solid detail work. I do think the client testimonials part could use some love visually to balance agains the other section there, but...

Majestyk

Nice use of the fixed images in the background as you scroll. I like the reveal and the layout is even a bit surprising as you make your way down the page. I dig the dark background and hero area stuff too. Nice work. We are a team of passionate and innovative...

Damgoodwork

Shoot, I like this site, a lot. I dig the tall rectangle project sections. It's such a simple change from the standard stuff we see all the time. But, dang is it effective. I'll remember that for a long while. Very nice! I've redesigned my website ( again ). I'm still...

Clique

Whew. I loved making my way all the way to the bottom of this home page. The way the copy plays with the headlines and sections is brilliant. I love it. I also really dig the overall design. Colors, layout, etc... for each section, it changes up enough to show that...

TRNK

Very nice grid based layout and a design that takes advantage of that grid and escapes it for good impact lower down on the page. I love the main nav and how it fills in with the overall grid beautifully, with that mega-drop-down design. Solid work here.

Radar #144

Each week, we do a round up of curated "stuff from the interwebs" that we call Radar. In this week's 144th Radar: How to create a movement: Trust, transparency, and telling your true story The path to a good product is never pretty. We’ve all faced those moments where...

David Arias

I love this simple portfolio site for David Arias. It's simple yet impactful design like this that gets me going. I love the interaction that's in place on each work sample and the way the work just slides up into the header area as you scroll just gives me a nice...

hello trio

Pretty cool vibe to this site. I dig the hero area and the slight parallax/apple movement technique. I also really dig the visual break down of each section as you scroll down the page. Solid work.

warsze.polin

Really great mix of illustration and interactive work. It's a fairly fixed design but it's fun even if I don't read Polish. The menu design is also pretty clever too, with the little back arrow worked on there.

Rumchata

Some really crazy parallax and interactions on the Rumchata website to get you going.

Thick

Nice structured design. I dig the density of content to design as you make your way down the pagescroll. Solid colors and solid visual brand too. Check the globe on the main hero area as you scroll. Subtle but cool.

Helm.yt

I like how this design feels very open. The interactive parts are sort of placed on top of the imagery to make it feel like it's floating there. There is also a play between the back and forward arrows and the entire, oversized, image changing out too. Cool visual...

Nation

What a badass website. It's really the approach to the brand that drives this site design. From the animated background flag to each illustration and placement of content this website makes me happy. Bravo.

Focus Lab

Solid and clean site from Focus Lab out of Savannah, Georgia (just a hop and a skip from us). While I love the whole site - on thing that's really smart is the video links throughout the site - they are subtle, but pretty effective.
