Web Design Inspiration Curated

The Met

Holy cow, where to start. Really, it's a huge website with tons of content and the designers have done a superb job of getting you at it. All the while maintaining style and vibe that matches the Met. Spend some time going through this site okay, you'll dig it.

Maria De La Guardia

Pretty cool, basic, Material Design based portfolio site for Maria De La Guardia. I dig the icon/illustration work on the hero/splash are and then how it kind of "dives" straight down into the work like that. Strong work.

Elespacio

Very nice splash/hero type layout for the main page on Elespacio. My favorite section is the portfolio though. The way the image/photos are done to really pop off the page like they do. Solid.

Spring Summer

The first thing that hits you is the photography, it pulls you in. Then there's some superb typography everywhere. Solid rhythm implied with the layout as you scroll down the page, it almost sings to you as you take it in.

Radar #137

Each week, we do a round up of curated "stuff from the interwebs" that we call Radar. In this week's 137th Radar: Designers shouldn’t code. They should study business. I’m not saying we should start shipping poorly designed experiences. We have to keep growing and...

Kodo Nishimura

Pretty cool scrolling interaction/animation here. I like the menu design too. It's kind of set for a lot of pogo-sticking for it's navigation interactions but I suppose that's all well and good for this specific site.

Perth Device Lab

Damn! Super nice website for the Perth Device Lab. And also, Damn, I want one of these... Seriously, pretty swank site.

CrossFit

The CrossFit.com website has come a looooong way recently. This design isn't perfect and I know there has been some hubub on it's message boards about some UX issues. But really, it's been optimized for mobile and tablets over desktop users. That's really the crux of...

Haus

Yep, scroll jacking, but get over it. 🙂 some beautiful screens to look at here and it works pretty well. Especially the main nav once you open it up, simple and to the point.

Make My Lemonade

Make My Lemonade is really just a straight forward blog design, but the details. Oh man, the details. I love all these little things cooked into the design. Like the drop-down style nav menus and the little wing dings here and there down the page. It's also broken up...

Serial

Yes - I know, I'm late to the party on Serial - I'm still in Season One, and I'm hooked! As far as the design - what first pulled me to this site was actually the podcast player - I've spent a lot of time on podcasts of all kinds in the past couple of months, and have...

Allt

I love product websites like these, to see the way other designers handle showing off products. This one is superb. I love the hero image area and then how it scrolls quickly and down into some short and sweet product photos. It lets you dig in quick and the editorial...

Allbirds

Very nice product website for the Allbirds shoes. I freaking love this site design. It's almost immersive. The photography and editorial for the different sections is all very well done and the timing on placement and video, etc... makes me smile. Now to get my hands...

Bolden

Dayum man. I love the bold approach to the typography here, it's a breath of fresh air really. Simple and to the point too. Some nice detail work here and there, solid and awesome work.

Vincent

It took me a bit to figure out just what this website was for, but once I got it, it's all good. Beautiful design pieces and the website itself has a lot of visual power to me. Romance!

Every Bootstrap Site

Agreed...

Airforce

New(ish) website for the US Airforce here. There is some serious inspiration to gain from this site. It's executed quite well and has a ton of detail work. Like the main navigation design, I love how it becomes another part of the website almost, not just a big menu...

Radar #136

Each week, we do a round up of curated "stuff from the interwebs" that we call Radar. In this week's 136th Radar: The Industrialisation of Design (or why Silicon Valley no longer needs UX designers) Despite having their roots in Silicon Valley, UX designers are a rare...

Seattle Space Needle

Get ready to scroll up - the Seattle Space Needle site is simple, and to the point - just a cool way to do something different, thate really makes sense for the location / building - upward and onward!

Phillip Nessen

Suuuuper simple layout for the portfolio website of Phillip Nessen. But man, it has some real badass typography and illustration work going on. Love this stuff.
