Web Design Inspiration

Sometimes you need to step away from your pile of HTML (or your ImageReady slices) and re-energize. Every web designer can use a little inspiration from time to time and, fortunately, something new is usually just a click away. Here are a few sites we look to when we need inspiration:

Cool Homepages
People submit cool websites and other people rate them on their coolness (or not-so-coolness). Nice breakdown by category: "Flash", "Very Clean", "Corporate", "Low-Bandwidth", "Rollovers", etc.
Design Interact: Sites of the Week
Associated with Communication Arts, this site reviews a different website each week. Added bonus: they usually list the URLs of the company who designed the site at the bottom of the review -- a good jumping-off point for further exploration and inspiration.
Kaliber10000
The mother of all web design portals. Their news ticker is updated constantly (and we mean constantly) with links to some of the freshest new designs on the web.
Minimalist Web Project
An ever-growing list of sites with "minimalist" web designs -- sites with clean, sparse, text-heavy designs that eschew the typical "slice 'n' dice" design.
NetDiver
Another design portal. Check the "What's New" section for links to sweet new designs or take a trip through the "Flash Gallery", if that's your thing.
PixelSurgeon
Another design portal -- this time with some swell interviews and features to go along with the regularly-updated news scroller with design links.
Three.Oh
Yikes! Yet another design portal! Very similar to Kaliber10000.
The 5K
The 5K is an annual web design contest based on one limiting factor -- all entries must be under 5K. Yes, that's right, just 5K. The results are often jaw-dropping; take a look and see what amazing work can be created under such strict limits.
xBlog: The visual thinking weblog
Design and visual thinking links compiled by the folks at XPlane. More than just web design -- you'll find great links on everything from accessibility to XML, from advertising to typography.
