Web Design Inspiration Curated

Beyond

Wonderfully simple but elegant layout. Tight spacing between elements and good vertical rhythm really makes this site feel like it was crafted with love. Also - check out the map on the contact page - same Google map - different look though.

PegsWeb

Very intriguing layout. I like the main hero image area and the way pieces scroll into view. The map and contact form have a nice designery touch too.

Komunigrafik

Pretty crazy navigation interactions on the Komunigrafik site. I'm not sure how I feel about it, what about you guys?

Very cool site design. looks like a cool product too - we won't know until the Apple Watch comes out 🙂

Nice dark design. You don't see too many sites done using dark background this well. I also really like the main/hero image of the app screenshot and how it lifts up and loads more into view when you mouse over it.

Nodopiano

Nodopiano

It's always nice when there's a strong base to a design and always awesome when you layer good detail work on top of that strong base. That's what the Nodopiano site design does so well. This is my last work,the website for an italian web agency. It's a constant beta...

Rogue Guitar Shop

Rogue Guitar Shop

Man I love guitars. I love gear more. This site is plenty of eye candy and some good interaction design too. I like the big drop down nav design that includes pictures of the gear. You don't really even need to read to get where you want to go.

Moore Communications Group

Great look to this site. I dig the transitions from desktop to mobile on the responsive approach here. Also generally speaking the design utilizes some blocks or chunks of content which works well for scanning and adapting to different screen widths.

Pixate

Pixate

As you may have guessed by now, we see a ton of websites - good, bad, spam (ugly). We also have seen every "app product page", that most have never deviated from the structure of the Square Reader product page from 3 years ago... Pixate could have gone there - and...

Fox Createur

Fox Createur

This site wasn't submitted to us. I found it when I was looking at one of Fox Createur's client sites for a review. This gets down to two things that I love with great websites - simplicity and creativity. Hover over the image(s) on the right - now start clicking...

National Citizen Service

National Citizen Service

Loose visual style and stark graphic type and colors make up a site aimed at young people to signup for service. It's a smart design in many ways but the strongest part is it's mobile friendly enough to get the right audience looking at it. Submitted By: Tom Bradley...

The Grazing Elk

The Grazing Elk

I'm always intrigued when I come across a side scroller website. Rarely are the done well, this one is the exception to that. I totally dig it. Somehow they make it feel like a unique interaction. Good work. Submitted by: Lara Stephenson @thegrazingelk Role: Designer...

Simpleblend

Simpleblend

Pretty much standard fare when it comes to design patterns of a portfolio site. However, the soft feel of the colors and design work and some details in the interactions, like the work samples section make this site work well enough for me to keep digging into the...

Super nice illustrations to kick the page off with, then followed up with some nice detail work and good copy. Love this straight forward but thoughtful approach.

Beaconia

Very slick details. I love the mix of illustration/icon work and the photos. Add in that nice little interaction with the animation and i'm thinking you've just grabbed people's attention. Good work. Submitted by: Darius Krisiunas Role: Designer & Developer A start-up...

12 Keys Alcohol Rehab Services

12 Keys Alcohol Rehab Services

There's a lot going on on visually with this page, lots of content and sections. The overlay with the help line number is good and smartly placed. I do wish the page was responsive too. 12 Keys Alcohol Rehab Services provides a retreat for those suffering from...

Emantiss Portfolio

Emantiss Portfolio

Really slick visual style for this portfolio site. I really dig that header/hero area photo, good stuff. The icon work and vector feel across the page is real nice. Hire this guy for some projects!

Boomerang Communications

Boomerang Communications

The visual style of this site is really slick. I love the colors and vector icon work as well as that main illustration/animation of the factory. Smart, smart work here. Event the pictures have been color corrected to fit into the overall colors of the page, subtle,...

Demi Creative

Demi Creative

Big bold visual style for Demi Creative. I dig it. I like the simplicity implied into the site design, the main link is the "get to know us" call to action and it draws you in. The nav under the hamburger icon feels slightly lost but once you dig into the about page...

Daddy Design

Daddy Design

You don't see many site designs that have that fixed nav bar layout anymore, it's not part of what's trending. But when you find a site with it done and done well, it's good stuff indeed. I really dig this layout, it's very intuitive and the content is placed in a...
