Art block happens to the best of us, and it’s hard getting back in the groove. Staying inspired and knowing the latest trends helps with that. Creativity is not something that you’re born with; it’s something you learn through other designs. Here are the top 10 design galleries to keep you inspired and up-to-date with the current trends.
One Page Love
One Page Love is a curated gallery that’s celebrated for showcasing single-page website design. All the content is on a single scrollable page, without being boring and repetitive. It shows the best design solution while keeping it simple and minimal, with less clutter.
Landingfolio
First impressions matter, and the first thing we see on a website is the landing page. That’s why it’s important to have a great design. Landingfolio showcases the best landing pages, but has dedicated sections for different pages - from pricing to login pages. It shows how to do it all.
Landbook
Landbook focuses on quality over quantity. Instead of algorithmically gathered designs, Landbook hand-picks them to show the best designs out there. Their filtering is immaculate. It has different visual styles, typography, color, and even a type of platform. This makes it easy to find the exact design style you were looking for.
Minimal Gallery
As the name suggests, Minimal Gallery is catered towards showcasing clean, minimal, and beautiful web designs. It has a very personal feel to it, because it’s run by a single person on a daily basis. Beyond the gallery, it has a dedicated section for Templates and a Tool directory. With the high rejection rate, you can rest assured that every single piece has earned its spot in the gallery.
Awwwards
Awwwards is one of the most prestigious and well-known design platforms. They have built a competitive awwward system (pun intended), in which websites are submitted and then scored to earn titles like “Site of the Day”, “Site of the Month”, and “Site of the Year”. All awarded sites are archived and can be browsed by category. Awwwards has a full ecosystem that consists of a Job board, a marketplace for design assets and templates, an academy for design courses, and a blog. For designers, earning a spot on Awwwards is less about inspiration and more about recognition.
A1 Gallery
A1 Gallery is a clean, straightforward gallery for website inspiration aimed at designers and developers. You can filter by website type - blog, directory, landing page, shop, etc. The interesting thing about A1 Gallery is that it has a dedicated Profiles section, where notable designers are given their well-deserved recognition. It also has a dedicated Fonts section, making it a handy one-stop shop for both design and typography inspiration.
Dead Simple Sites
Simple, but impactful. That’s the motto this gallery stands for. It’s curated with the most minimal, clean websites on the internet - no animations, no scroll jacking, just pure, simple web design inspiration, updated weekly. It’s perfect for designers who think that having restraint is a skill, and that a simple designed website is a lot harder to pull off. It's a great resource when you want to reset your eyes after browsing more visually intense galleries, or when you're building something that needs to be clean, fast, and focused.
Sections.wtf
Instead of showing the entire website for inspiration, Sections.wtf zooms in on individual UI sections pulled from real websites. The idea is that when you're building a page, you're often looking for inspiration for one specific part and not the whole thing. It’s clean and unpretentious. It's without bloat, without complex filtering, just a simple scrollable design. There’s a "Shuffle" button to discover random entries and get you inspired with things out of your comfort zone.
Curation of Curations
As the name suggests, it's a curated collection of other curations. Rather than gathering individual websites or components, it collects and organizes the best design inspiration resources, galleries, newsletters, and references that already exist; essentially, a directory of directories. If you don't know where to start looking for design inspiration, this is the one place that points you everywhere you need to go.
404s Design
404s Designs is perhaps the most niche and delightful gallery out there. It's entirely dedicated to one single page type: the 404 error page. Entries can be filtered by visual style, including: 3D, Animated, Brutalist, Glitchy, Illustrative, Interactive, Large Type, Minimal, Small Type, and Typographic. Each entry links directly to the live 404 page on the actual website, allowing you to experience it firsthand rather than just viewing a screenshot. This shows us that attention to detail matters, and it takes it to the next level.
