Inservio

This site features some really stellar illustration work. I love the color palette, character design and simple messaging. Be sure to stop by the site and have a look around.

Justdot

This site uses an awesome and original chalkboard theme absolutely littered with great texture and custom sketches. The theme idea could have easily come out very poorly but the execution here is top notch.

Redesign Ltd

This site uses a super simple minimalist layout, which really highlights the attractive imagery. I like the restrained use of color and the repetition of the single color for emphasis in all the right areas.

Third Culture

This site features an awesome chameleon graphic to convey the idea that the designer is adaptable. I love the artwork, typography and colors used here. Definitely a great site design!

National Money Helpline

This site features a ton of information on a single page, but the info has been organized in a thoughtful and effective manner to avoid a cluttered look. I particularly like the little interactive slider module on the right side of the page.

Mcdonalds

Mcdonalds really stepped up to the plate with their most recent website design. It is modern, clean, and uses superb food photography extensively. By ditching the clutter and letting the food be the hero, they really highlight their products well.

Ithaca Events

Busy textured design is not easy to pull off but this designer did a great job. I love the combination of the bright colors with the grunge textures.

Word Refuge

Word Refuge offers copywriting and SEO services. Their site is done in a historical revolutionary war era style and is absolutely beautiful. I love the illustrations, texture and typography. A great example of how to really push a theme idea to the limit.

Frogs Themes

Frogs Themes utilizes lots of great looking browser page thumbnails, both large in the header and small in thumbnails throughout the page. The enlarging hover effects on the thumbnails is nice as well as the ChunkFive typography throughout.

Keyonary

A neat little site that helps both Mac and PC users find keyboard shortcuts. There are a lot of subtle design details that make this site seem nice and polished. All the one pixel strokes, shadows and gradients just look beautiful together.

Think Vitamin Membership

A nice looking page with a vintage feel and fun illustrations. I especially like the textured background and rounded buttons.

Bones Brigaded JS

A nice looking site with a huge tilted header and an attractive black and red color scheme. I really like all of the over-sized elements, especially the icons and search box in the footer.

Jonas Downey

This site features a strong header with a simple navigation and big circle hover effects, subtle grid lines in the content area, and lots of thick lines and borders. The design is clean, the layout is solid and the overall aesthetic is an interesting mix of fun and professional.

Colorful Visuals

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!
