Web Design Inspiration Curated

Colm McCarthy

Nice, minimal portfolio site from Colm McCarthy out of Ireland. Like the use of the text over the main image on the work detail pages - interesting to see how it lands on different viewports.

Love the smart use of the gridlines for the Graphic Design Festival in Glasgow, Scotland. Simple and clean - good stuff. From the Designer: Graphic Design Festival Scotland is an international organisation promoting creativity, innovation, collaboration and...

Luca Orio

Pretty slick and straight forward portfolio site for Luca Orio. Style and class go a long way and this designer has those in large amounts. I love this site. From the Designer: Luca Orio is an Italian designer based in San Francisco. His process focuses on release...

Workstack

Lots of standard layout stuff for this web app product, but it's just. I don't know, nicer. I love the oversized image for the view of the product and the overall vibe is just nice. Clean simple design that focuses on showcasing the product by avoiding any unnecessary...

Jan Behne

Pretty nifty change of direction for the Jan Behne portfolio site. I dig it, I love the way the three columns are used. Very print design like but totally digital in it's content and deliver. Smart work. Hey, I'm a Graphic Designer and Animator from Hamburg, Germany....

Daniel Del Core

Really simple website design, we've seen stuff like this before, but I just dig this one. I love the 80's inspired script for the logo and the overall simplicity that the work is presented.

Fueled

Pretty cool looking website for Fueled. I dig the background image and vibe it gives off. I really dig the way they show their work on the home page when you scroll, with the fixed position iPhone outline. The page transitions and sub pages are superb as well. Lots of...

Etienne Ledemay

Gotta love great graphic design when you see it. Etienne Ledemay delivers. I love the simplicity that overlays the complexity of the typography and scrolling interactions here. That line also delivers you straight to the bottom of the site. Well done!

Theis Bothmann

Simple portfolio site for Copenhagen-based photographer Theis Bothmann. Subtle parallax effects and smooth page transitions. Submitted by: Frederik Christensen Twitter: @frede Role: Designer Country: Denmark

Made by Akhil

Pretty cool starting section that leads to a more standard feeling layout. I dig this, this transition and the sub-sections too. They're very intuitive with the arrows and work smooth as you scroll. The footer section is also solid information design wise too. The...

Waaark

Holy moly, the Waaark site is brilliantly designed, visually. I love all the transitions and detail work with the illustrations. It's very very unique and you get the vibe of a high end solutions firm here. That said, the transitions in some ways leave me feeling like...

Deckchair

Oh my god. I love the Deckchair site so much. The stuff on the right hand side, the fixed nature of that plus the animated background really make me want to dig into how this thing was put together. The Material Design influence here is obvious too. Love. It. So. Much.

Teamm

Pretty cool, clean and clearly designed website for Teamm. I like the staright forward-ness of the site design but then some neat typography mixed in for good measure. Simple usually wins, this site is no exception.

Peel

Pretty sleek and elegant looking e-commerce site for Peel cases here. I dig the oversized images and grid layout. Solid stuff. Submitted by: @digit Twitter: @digit Role: Designer Country: USA

The Powerpuff Girls

The new Powerpuff Girls website, running alongside the global TV series launch, starts with your average day in the City of Townsville and ends with the girls battling their horrible, mean archenemy Mojo Jojo as he tries desperately to take over the site! Submitted...

I AM LIZ

Pretty rad looking portfolio site. It's simple, just show the work. This site does that well. It's also unique feeling which is something you'd also look for in a portfolio. Cool. I also really love the small-screen width or "responsive" version of this site too....

Benjamin Jackson

Large blocks of layout and some nice style touches make me really like the Benjamin Jackson portfolio website design. My favorite part is the way the logo stays in place as you scroll down, solid idea. I also love the strong grid and minimal footprint the site has...

Twenty Nine NYC

A good way to show you're a "new" type of interactive firm is to show it off in your work. Twenty Nine NYC doest that well here with their website. It's not the most highly functioning site in terms of pure usability but it's not that bad and it's creative at the same...

Grace Scuitto

I love the large block of copy on that dark background and then *BANG* you get some animated work samples loaded up on you. Good stuff. That slow color change on the background is nice too, it changes the entire experience in just that little shift.
