Design Shack — Web Design Gallery, Articles & Community

Licorn Publishing

As you can see above, this site has a stunning header. The intensely colored and multilayered art grab you as soon as you load the page. This chaos is balanced by the rest of the page, which maintains a minimal feel and strong alignment.

The Bridal Boutique

This site features a really clean and professional design and plenty of high quality photography. I really like the navigation area with the pop out hover effects. The lightly textured background is also a nice touch.

Noah Stokes

A really nice photo-centric design with beautiful graphics and an awesome color palette. I really like the double column layout and strokes in the actual blog area, it is a fairly typical layout but looks particularly attractive here.

Rapture of the Deep

This site features a crazy design that is quite random and busy, but in a good way. The unique design uses bright color, rich textures and a silly personality to attract your attention.

Its Workable

This site follows the typical corporate web service layout we have seen so much lately, but it pulls it off nicely. I like the colors, large screenshots and simple navigation area. The large sign up button is no doubt a winner for snagging conversions.

Jon Victorino

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.

Kean Richmond

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.

Enstore

Enstore is a commerce platform that makes it easy to start your own online store. I absolutely love the beautiful and detailed icon design on this site. The color scheme is brilliant as well and really draws your attention to key areas.

AW Industries

Alexander's portfolio takes on a steel and purple hue, featuring a scrolling portfolio slideshow that appears to "hover" over the rest of the page. I also particularly like the contact page, which includes a postcard mockup, a rate card designed in the style of a till receipt, and a timeline showing how most design projects are worked through.

Cobblestone Community Network

Cobblestone is designed to move people deeper into real relationships. The design of the site is slick, professional, and subtle. The use of subtle gradients and drop shadows gives the site depth, and the purpose is made clear straight away. I particularly like the top navigation, which manages to pull off a slight transparency, a simple texture, and some well balanced typography.

Real Mac Software

A popular Mac software developer, Realmac produce some gorgeous applications and have a website to match. Each app is given plenty of surrounding space, and navigation is very clear. The design is made particularly special due to the application icons which are used to great effect. Be sure to dig past the homepage to see a far more immersive and visually rich design.
