When we are approached to build a website, we always ask the client if they have a company style guide. For our smaller clients, they don’t generally have this so we ask if they have any web design inspiration that they would like included in their website.
We have listed below our favourite websites that can be used for design inspiration when designing a website.
Colours
Coolors
At the click of a button, Coolors will generate you a five colour palette. You can just keep generating colour schemes until you find one you like.
Color Palettes
Colour Palettes takes a different approach in that they take a photograph and show the colour palette within that photograph.
Fonts
Google Fonts
As Comic Sans is no longer the go to font for web design, Google Fonts is the first choice when looking for inspiration for your typography.
WordPress
WordPress Themes
Images
Pexels
Using stock photos on your website can give it a generic feel and is generally frowned upon. However, when starting the discussions about inspiration, stock photos sites are a good place to start.
Websites
I will group all of the next set of websites together. They are all ‘portfolio’ sites of differing types. If you are looking for ideas in your market sector, or looking for the latest design trends, then these websites are for you.
