Simple and Stunning (Part 3): 10 Website Designs that Inspire
October 1st, 2008 in Design Inspiration
by: Matthew Griffin
This is the third installment of Simple and Stunning on Mirificam Press. In case you're new to Mirificam Press, Simple and Stunning is an ongoing list acknowledging excellent website designs that combine the simplicity of a great user interface with stunning layouts and color schemes. The ongoing Flickr photos set can be seen . I've made a noticeable change in this edition, though: Instead of capturing only the initially visible area of each site, I included the scroll area below. My purpose in the previous method was to present a kind of first glance presentation. But with increasingly sporadic monitor sizes and resolutions, I think my new method will give you a better feel for the whole design.
I let a little more time elapse between this edition and the second edition which gave me a little more time to round up a larger pool from which to choose. The only design I struggled with was the Timothy Long site. It's so simple that some could argue that it doesn't belong here. But the more I thought about it, the more I was convinced that it accomplishes its purpose perfectly. If you have any suggestions for future consideration, please let me know in the comments.
