Web Design Inspiration Curated

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...

Five Minutes – G-Shock

New Years is a time of new beginnings. Each year at this time, billions of people try to re-ground themselves, decide what they'll focus on for the upcoming year (or couple of weeks...you know what I mean), and grow into that new person they want to be. So it's...

75 Years of Batman

I was working on some Top 10 posts for the end of the year, and stumbled onto Tapan Babbar's site: 75 Years of Batman. @tapanbabbar He made all of the Batman logos using CSS, with a little parallax thrown into Gotham itself. Pretty cool! And... if this and his other...

Unify Media

Very simple, clean, minimal site from Unify out of the Netherlands. What I really like is on their portfolio detail pages - they've posted they color palette and font's they used. Would be cool if they named the fonts too - but this way you can see how the parts come...

Google & NORAD Santa Tracker

No matter what you celebrate, or where you live, we here at UnmatchedStyle wish you the safest and warmest of holidays, and are looking forward to a great 2015 with all of you! In the website world - two of the most popular websites today, December 24th are the Google...

Ars Thanea

Crash, bang, wow! Ars Thanea's agency site is a visual assault on your senses - that's a good thing. The video background / slideshow on the home page actually makes you stay on the page / and watch a slideshow. Cool how when you mouse to the left or right of the...

Assembly

Really cool concept here with Assembly - looks like a crowdsourcing site directed toward different design / development products, with shared revenue for participants. Love the white space with color accents. Interesting how the sticky header comes out when you scroll...

MailGun

Good interactive site from Rackspace with their new email service MailGun, that's more developer based. Lot's-o SVG work, some subtle animation on the logo, some on-scroll work - but the cool thing is how they present their API in the interactive area in different...

Burning of Columbia

This February marks the 150th anniversary of General Sherman's burning of Columbia, South Carolina. The City of Columbia is commemorating the rebirth and reconstruction of the Capital City through a series of events designed to appeal to history buffs from all over....

Joel Califa

Theme of the day is clean and simple. Joel Califa's portfolio site out of Brooklyn is exactly that. Love two main things: 1 - The "text-heavy portfolio" are really more than just "I did that" - there's a ton of detail on HOW he did everything, completely referenced....

Simple As Milk

You know I like simple websites - Simple as Milk, an agency out of Eastbourne, UK keeps to their name - which is always good! I want to say they have made some slight changes since I first looked at their site - changing up the home page coloring and some messaging...

Thankful Registry

Good way to end the week. Since you may be in "giving" mode right now, Thankful Registry - a gift registry site that doesn't feel clunky, and makes the experience for the gift giver a little easier. Nice large images on the home page and the registries - good...

MoreSleep

"More Sleep, Less Headache" - we should all be so lucky! The MoreSleep web design agency out of Berlin, Germany is promising that. Based on their website and portfolio of work, I would have to say "das ist richtig". Like the off screen menu actually produces a...

The Girl Effect

I was saving this review for today. I'm glad I did - looks like The Girl Effect website changed over last night (at least I think it did) - and is stunning. I really dig the off-screen navigation on the left, that really allows space to get their stories front and...

Mixd

This is from the Mixd design house out of North Yorkshire, UK. I like how each page has it's own initial background color, while still keeping the same aesthetic throughout the site. Also like that they must maintain the site and switch out the home page, that is a...

Mammoth Booth

Listen... good marketing is this: Do Not Press Button. What's the first thing you want to do? This is how the Mammoth Booth site starts out - good irreverence coupled with some nifty illustration and CSS animation, and then the pay-off: an explosion of cool photos...

Robby Leonardi

Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaah! If you don't click on the "Interactive Resume" and go into a Nintendo glazed over comatose, eating Doritos, drinking Jolt Cola, wondering why your thumb joints ache and you have thumb calluses... then you're probably under the age of 35. Doesn't...
