There seems to be a trend of late using the idea of a scientific lab or test tubes to the design of a site. A lot of these ideas probably do stem from name generation but its an interesting one to see emerging and is quite the opposite to the shiny apple trend of other web design styles. Here are some good examples of this pretty cool illustrative effect put into practice.
Continuing the look for inspirational website design we stumbled on a few more gems that we thought was only right to share with everyone.
Once again we’ve put together a list of 15 websites that inspire, some you may have seen some that might be new to you and as always if you have any inspirational sites that you’d like to share please post a comment and start a discussion.
We spend a lot of time researching the web, trying to find websites that inspire - not only by the way they look but in the way they work and what they say.
There are many things that make up a great website; design, content, branding, layout, wording, clarity and many other things besides. We have put together a list of 15 websites that inspire, some new and some slightly older favorites.
During a recent web project we decided to drop the usual home button from the main navigation which proved to be highly controversial. After much debate we ended up adding it back in.
Since this project the same dilemma has cropped up on a number of occasions, the dilemma is this: Do we stick to what we’ve been doing for many years now or do we make the change and ditch the home button? After all, is it really needed?
A type of secondary navigation, “breadcrumbs” (or “breadcrumb trails”) are a user friendly way of showing where the user is within a site. Breadcrumbs are normally found within sites that have more than 2 levels of navigational links. You’ll also see them in applications that have more than one step (”signposting”), for example on a checkout or booking system where a progress bar is needed.
