The web design here is fairly simple, just a gray background and a simple grid layout. However, the artwork on display here is remarkably attractive. Definitely a great site to add to your inspiration list!

The Wisdom of Bees is a book that uses the metaphor of a bee hive to teach practical business lessons. The wonderfully simple site features simple but perfect illustrations, a bright yellow background and well chose typography. If you watch for long enough, one of the bees flaps his wings!

The portfolio of designer Yanis Markin. This beautiful site features excellent icon design and an oversized vertical image slider. There is also a really nice grid view that you can access by click the all designs button on the bottom of the page.

This clever site uses FourSquare to tell you if the male/female ratio is in your favor at a given location. The undoubtedly feminine site uses pink gradients and curvy fonts to clearly target the fairer gender. I love the little map graphic with a single 3D building.

A very simple but attractive design that contains some nice subtle graphical flavor. I love the single pixel line and the connected flag on the left side of the page, the header that stays with you as you scroll and the unexpected flash of bright orange when you hover over a link.

This site features an excellent old time, grayscale look and feel with dramatic photography and minimalist design elements. Only the homepage is featured above so be sure to stop by the site and click around to see the design style continued in different ways throughout the other pages on the site.

Scriptmatix is a software company specializing in business solutions. The layered website showcase is attractive and I like the typefaces that were used. The large red button is a bit awkwardly placed but stands out well and successfully grabs your attention.

A nice minimalist design with lots of gray and white, thick but subtle borders, and really excellent typography throughout. In addition to the strong use of fonts throughout the design, the artist has built and impressive typographic portrait of himself.

This is one of the best site designs I have come across in a while. The colors, textures, theme presentation, and button designs are all beautifully designed and come together to make a page that is completely unique and a pleasure to look at.

The layout could admittedly use a little work on this site, but i really like some of the features of the design. The icons in the top right are simple and effective, the images have a nice sliding effect on hover, and the boxes of content near the bottom of the page are very well designed.

This single page portfolio does an excellent job of organizing important information into a visual hierarchy that would be effective for potential employers and clients. The design is light and airy, with a nice CSS3 letterpress effect on the headline and a thick white border providing strong contrast between the photos and background.

This site utilizes paper textures, a mix of both serif an san serif typography, and a nice large jquery slider. The overall design is simple but effective though there is definitely room for some improvement in the layout.

I really like the letterpressed typography and mixture of soft and bold colors in this site. The brightly colored thumbnails have a nice rounded corner border and turn grayscale when you hover over them. If you stop by the site, be sure to check out the nice graphic in the footer. Another great feature is the "back to top" button that stays with you as you scroll.

A really nice, clean web store with a perfect color scheme and beautiful product shots. The typography is really refined and the shopping experience quite streamlined. Overall, a refreshingly different e-commerce design.

The portfolio of Charlie Gentle, a Web Developer working in Nottingham, UK. The dark background contrasts nicely with the large white typography and the white sketchy elements. I am a sucker for side scrolling sites so this one gets a bonus for using this method. Also, as you scroll through the site, the bokeh at the top is animated with a 3D parallax effect that is just excellent.

Plan my site is a New Jersey based web design firm. The busy sketches on the dark background are a nice touch as are the giant 3D arrows. The latter of these really grabs your attention as soon as the page loads and makes for a nice focal point.
