Web Design Inspiration Curated

Shop Talk Show

The new Shop Talk Show website is up. Retaining the same branding and colors but very much looks like it just goes straight for mobile users. Likely a very smart move. The content is in the audio and getting people to that fast not in showing off a super slick site...

Adaptable

I love this layout. It's simple and to the point as well as a nice example of responsive design. The scaling of the main images is nicely done and in contrast the larger bolder type in the layout works our really well.

Tuxedo No2

It's 5 o'clock somewhere right? Who needs the Bartender's Pocket Guide anymore - you can head to Tuxedo No.2 for great responsive, Instagram photo, easy to navigate (the drinks are the navigation), drink recipe / instructional guide. As an SEO person - I like all the...

Gitman Bros Vintage Clothing

Good Monday Morning to you! I'm responding to Gitman Bros's Instagram message this morning. Offering cool vintage style shirts through their Shopify site, Gitman's site is clean and easy to navigate (not always the case for shopping sites). Really like their new...

Chattanooga Renaissance Fund

Good way to end the week. The Chattanooga Renaissance Fund's site has great sweeping full-width shots and video backgrounds of Chattanooga that is fun just to look at from a design perspective. Especially like the footer image. Also like the vertical type on the sides...

Electric Pulp

When I was starting to look at Electric Pulp's new site, I realized this is the third time we've reviewed their website (2010, 2013 below). So it's cool to see evolution of websites, and especially from companies that we really like. This new version of the site is...

Peak

Looks like the folks at MetaLab (that made Slack) have added to their suite of apps with Peak. The app's site is clean and has some of the expected app product page features - screen shots and explanatory copy - but what I like is how it handles screen width with the...

Hyper Market

Ok - it took me a minute to see what Hyper Market's website was doing here. Scroll all the way down, and you see the gray on the right is a shadow of the yellow that's scrolling up the screen - which is a cool effect. To accomplish that, it looks like they used an...

Design Council

Make sure you expand / contract your browser width on this one - the menu and svgs grow and animate with the changes - meaning the Design Council has also thought about what designers do when we look at other websites: we experiment (the fact that the hamburger icon...

GO Food

Cool adaptive site design for GO Food. I dig all the illustration work and how it's been worked into the layout to feel really hand made like it does.

Van Gogh Museum

There is really a lot going on here with the Van Gogh Museum website. From the different design decisions made across the different screen widths to the navigation details. You really need to go spend some time clicking through this one guys.

Script & Seal

Nice Masonry/Isotope type responsive effect here. Actually, digging into the code looks like it is Isotope... I like the usage of it here because it just feels a little different. Especially with the way the logo overlays on top of the images like that too as you...

Snask

Some fairly straightforward design queues here on the Snask site. But I really really love the way the images are placed on the page. They just feel like they're embedded in the page somehow to me. Kinda like a nice offset printed page feels. Know what I mean? Maybe...

Brian Hoff Design

There are so many details that make up Brian Hoff's new site I don't know where to start. First off it's minimal at first glance which is what drew me in, then as you click around you start to discover there's some really rich content there about Brian's Design Studio...

muz.li

Looks like a great resource, also looks like a nice site design for a product. I love the colors and fun little illustrations too. Good stuff here. Aaron Edit: Sorry... forgot the image... feel like Jonny from Airplane pulling the plug on the runway lights...

Mad*Pow

I like how Mad*Pow out of Portsmouth, NH has used their slider in a different fashion - less big image, more information. Also like how most of the coloring for the site comes from their examples of work - build a canvas, fill it up!

Pastificio Carmiano

I keep telling myself not to write reviews of food sites before lunch... did it again. The Pasta Factory Carmarthen Gragnano (or Il Pastificio Carmiano di Gragnano)'s site out of Italy takes a grand tour of pasta - I didn't know there were so many types. The site has...

Pelican Books

Pelican's site, "an imprint of Penguin Books," has a very clear path of what they want you to discover and do. It's clean and classic in how it presents info, and makes me feel like the Pelican "app" will allow for an easier reader experience. Check out the About page...

Born Group

OK - let's get the New Year started right! Here's a great site from the Born Group out of New York and London. Great contrast throughout the site that's exemplified with the video background of the 800 pound gorilla to start you out. Good off-screen navigation and...

Agency Survival Kits

Fun and maybe appropriate way to end the year with Montreal's Phoenix Creative Studio's Agency Survival Kits. Basically - our normal MO during the last two weeks of the year for our client services part of our business, Period Three, we go minimal, and work on...
