7 Inspirational Web Designs
As a web designer, the job requires us to put together bespoke designs one after another, and to stop ourselves from falling into the trap of using the same design styles all the time, we must take inspiration from others across the globe.
Recently, websites are changing; “over-the-top” is in and boring is out, even for company websites.
The introduction of HTML5 and tools such as jquery are changing the way we view the web, but not only that, they are changing the way we design the web.
Lets have a look at some websites that have inspired us recently, and make us want to take a more adventurous view on our own designs.
We’ll start spectacularly…
This is a website which captures you from the moment you first start scrolling down it. It is one of the most smartly designed and coded websites that I have ever seen, and it is very deserving of all the praise it has received since its launch. The designer really went to town with it and created something stunning.
This is fantastic, great colours and it delivers a brilliant user experience. It also has a beautiful header, take a look and see for yourself, as the screenshot doesn’t do it justice!
This design shows how important imagery can be on the web. It is so simple, but uses great imagery to show what the website is about. The only problem with this example is it’s lack of text, meaning SEO would suffer.
This example is quite minimalistic, however the quirkly slant of the header and main image is very nice and instantly gives a certain uniqueness to the design. The typography is also great, and adds even more style to this simple, yet beautiful website.
This design uses simple colours which complement each other perfectly, but the excellent images on the right of the design really make the design pop. The layout is really good, and the website overall has a very fresh feel to it.
Great, great imagery here. Such a simple design, but perfectly laid out. A true example of important imagery on the web.
This website delivers a great user experience. This is a site that is not only functional, but fun to use. The design is extremely simple, but it shows that the less-is-more attitude is sometimes very good.
So there we have it, just seven of millions of great looking websites out there. Go and have a look for yourself and see what you can find, you never know what you might find!
