Web Design Inspiration Curated
Evan Pedrick
Man I dig this layout. It feels very original and open, the graphics are relatively neat too, especially the main blueprint background imagery. From the Designer: This is my personal portfolio website. It has been designed and built by hand from the ground up. The CSS...
Full Bundle
Really fun website with a fairly minimal base. I love the way the bits of design float up or away from your mouse when you interact with the website/screen. The content sections are solid examples of design too. Great visual work here. From the Designer: Full Bundle...
Mucci Estúdio
Clever layout for Mucci Estúdio. I dig the main nav interaction and how the hero image get's folded up under it when you scroll. From the Designer: Mucci Estúdio is a graphic and web design studio based in São Paulo, Brazil. Submitted by: André Giacomucci...
Martijn
UX Design intern at Google. Pretty solid work here. I love the overall simple and clean approach, but I love the little interaction when you scale the window down the most. Clever and nice touch for sure. Hire this dude!
Sugar Vision
Badass looking design for Sugar Vision. I love all the things! It has solid design and layout and execution and also heart. I love the vibe and design approach, so much cool. From the Designer: Sugar Vision is a dedicated team of experienced creatives working on...
DigitalBLB
Pretty solid design work here. I really dig the way the logo slides over the word mark as you scroll down. The remainder of the home page layout is well done, with the different sections giving it a good rhythm and corporate vibe. From the Designer: As a digital...
Confederation Studio
Luuurrrvvvee the simple layout approach to Confederation Studio, the thing that lands it in the cool zone is the illustration work. Really, they're great. I love how it goes from a big hero image area to colorful blocky sections. The rhythm is strong and the...
Julie Poignot
Pretty unique layout and design for Julie Poignot's site. I love this thing. It's intriguing at first glance as well as deeply enriched by animation and content. The case studies for example are amazing rich and well done. Check this site out when you get a chance....
CHARIJ
Pretty standard fare from a layout perspective but what i'd like to point out is the animation load for the timeline. That's pretty rad, I think it kind of makes the site for me. Good stuff.
Hair Salon Muku
Love the graphic design, the logo and imagery. Really nice look and feel. Then the approach to the layout is solid as well, the nav isn't really necessary and that's smart from a user and mobile perspective. Then when you get to the hamburger there some good stuff...
timedropper
Pretty rad looking plug in, but an equally rad looking web design to share. I dig the coloring, reminds me of blueprints and planning docs. Solid approach. From the Designer: timedropper is a jQuery UI timepicker. Manage time input fields in a standard form. Focus on...
Radar #141
Each week, we do a round up of curated "stuff from the interwebs" that we call Radar. In this week's 141st Radar: How A Designer’s 3-Year-Old Daughter Is Humanizing Google Inspired by the way his daughter Anna Julia communicates, Hector Ouilhet is trying to make...
Hedge for Mac
Pretty nifty app/product website. I dig the animated piece that explains what the app does and how it works. Also nifty that it's largely a dark background site. Wanting to showcase Hedge's main features we chose to feature an animation combined with a a long form...
Jonathan Edmund-Jones
Pretty nifty and very different looking/feeling site design for Jonathan Edmund-Jones. I like the way the top half is black and white and all text with the second half mostly color and work samples. It's a nice reveal as you scroll down, creating a pretty nifty...
Heirlūm Design Co
I really dig the look and feel of this website layout. It has just the right amount of detail work and minimal approach to make me take a closer look. The off kilter layout is very original feeling too. Great work. From the Designer: We wanted this website to be super...
SistaGirl
First thing I notice are the bold colors. I really like that, it's refreshing. I also like the discreet content block sections of this site, like the "how can I help" section under the hero image area and then the double blocks of stuff under that. The vibe is nice...
Game and Fish Facts
Super rad layout on the home page. I dig the block/grid approach here and the small interactions built into it are superb. The graphic application of the imagery and the video background in the hero area echo very well to the rest of the site design.
Made By Few ’16
Just LUUURRRVVE the new Made By Few 2016 website. That little parallax effect is badass and the illustrations blow me away. Here at UMS we totally understand what a pile of work getting a website this cool is... Great job all around ya'll. This year's website design...
Elevated Interest
Love the use of the astronaut on the Elevated Interest site, out of San Diego. (NASA images are royalty-free folks - send your self to the moon and beyond!) And in a marketing-UX sense - I really like the red banner at the bottom of each page - CTA to Contact Us all...
Simon Foster Design
Simon Foster, who from his Twitter profile seems to live at "Your Mum's house" in the UK, has a cool, minimal portfolio site. Love the simple home page - and really like his side projects - especially the Take My Texture (sent it to my design team a few minutes ago -...
