Web Design Inspiration Curated

mikeandara.com

Listen - we don't normally do wedding / proposal sites - but this one from Mike Pechardo out of the San Francisco area is really well done. Looks like he spent a lot of time to make everything come together seamlessly on the web side - hope that continues for him and...

Station Four

Good design company site from Station Four out of Jacksonville. These folks have come and hung out with us at ConvergeFL - good people. They work on a bunch of different platforms, and their work and their site looks clean, has cool icons / infographics to tell their...

True Fish Tales

So.. here's the story... this site is all about true whopper fish tales... "the lucky few who have done the impossible and reeled in a true monster." Yeah sure, great on the CSS animation, map and interesting way they present the stories so you see the magnitude of...

The Bright Future of Car Sharing

Ok - awesome fonts, flat images, and animation in an interactive full web page infographic. It took me a minute to navigate what to do with my car (hint: use the scroll bar at the bottom or use your left and right keys), but once I got going, I think it's excellent...

Life In My Shoes

I like the contrast of using stark white space and texture in the background and around important shapes/spaces on the page itself. Contrast can go really far as a design tool.

Longitude

Pretty straight forward layout, but fitted with some nice tight detail work. I really dig the subtle impression you gain by viewing this site. Submitted by: Dustin Myers @dmyers09 Role: Designer

kylereadsays.com

Very nice project/website to showcase the skills. I love stuff like this and this site for Kyle Read is one nifty example of how to do it. Love this site by @kyleread: http://t.co/DM0IobW5GI /via @timbrown — Elliot Jay Stocks (@elliotjaystocks) November 18,...

JSConf BA

Pretty dang awesome! I know you can do a lot now with Javascript - so the .jsConf out of Buenos Aires did it all. Their conference just ended on November 29th, but I'm glad they left the site up so that I can destroy the alien bad guys.... Just check out my...

Jon Contino

Make sure you check out the detail pages for Jon Contino's (out of New York) portfolio - really sweet designs. I like the "Work" page too - faceted search so you get the idea of Jon's strengths - and a hint of parallax (kind of like the icons on your iPhone home page...

Lab Partners

I love non-standard stuff, like with Lab Partners. For instance the clock in the upper right, works! I'm sure there's a way to make this design responsive, but it's still pretty sweet looking to me.

Angra Maria

I like quirky design and I extra like it when it's working hand in hand with solid tried and true design techniques. Just like with Angra Maria's portfolio site, beautiful work.

Blueion

There is some really great stuff here on the Blueion website design. I particularly like the 8bit looking illustration section for the team pics and some good video never hurts.

Hunger Crunch

Gio and I saw these guys talk in Greenville at Grok last year. Listen - the site is great. It has some subtle animation and appropriate parallax, making you feel like you're in the game. But.. the point of the Hunger Crunch site is not just the game attached to it -...

Chickenbot

Note to self - don't do website reviews on food sites three hours before lunch - especially when it looks as appealing as the Chickenbot website out of Italy... yes, Chickenbot. Great, savory images and pretty decent ordering functionality for delivery... they just...

Envy Labs

The new Envy Labs site is really good stuff. There's a good balance of content and clean tidy layout. I love the little interactions that are built into the design like the "what does your idea need?" piece and the way the navigation has multiple states because you...

Erskine Design

Sometimes you just need a design that simply states who you are, and is devoid of bells and whistles that may complicate your message. Erskine Design out of Dallas, TX, has done that - clear layout, decent font combinations (serif, sans, and script) - a little...

Form Keep

I would like to hear from the designers to be sure, but it looks like they may have used SVG and CSS animation in tandem? Either way, the good flat animation gives you a sense of Form Keep's usefulness - like the no iframe idea too.

Handywork

Nice SVG animations and flat illustrations that become the focal points of a very clean site. Each page in this portfolio site from Adam Howell our of Charlotte, NC, has some different functionality, still keeping within the same theme, showing off some good work.

Envoy

Really enjoyed the video explaining Envoy - seems like a good, versatile app / system for checking in visitors to your company. The site itself has good on-scrolling animations that give you a good sense of how the actual app performs, while also describing the...

Windows of New York

Interesting way to start your week - this site is an outlet of an obsession for Jose Guizar out of New York. Windows of New York is a cool project, clean site, and just a little fun to start the day.
