Here is a list of my favorite websites that I use for inspiration.

Web Creme

Web Creme

This is on of my favorites. It has a simple interface and features some of the best designs on the web. Now if only one of my designs would get on there. . .

Design Meltdown

Design Meltdown

This website categorizes every website by color usage, design themes, design elements etc. It’s very useful if you’re looking for a way to design a specific part of a page. Like dates for example.

Template Monster

OK, this isn’t a design gallery technically but it does have a good collection of professional templates.

CSS Heaven

CSS Heaven

This gallery crams in 21 web designs on each page, a great way to browse quickly. My only crit is that the thumbnails could be a bit larger.

Unmatched Style

Unmatched Style

A beautiful gallery with nice thumbnails. Need I say more?

Stare-At

Stare-At

This gallery focuses on graphic design rather than web design. It has examples of photography, illustration, advertising oh. . . . . and web design!

A Site A Day

A Site A Day

I love the name of this website. It says all the right things. Unfortunately it hasn’t been updated in a while. Regardless, check it out.

Best Web Gallery

Best Web Gallery

This is a nice site with a lot of beautiful work. My only crit is that the thumbnails don’t give me a good idea of what the interface looks like (which could slow me down in a production environment).

CSS Elite

This gallery is absolutely gorgeous. It’s easy to use with nice padding between the thumbnails and a conveniently located category menu.

    Another good one is Smashing Magazine (http://www.smashingmagazine.com) - they showcase groups (usually 50 at a time for a particular topic) of sites almost daily, have articles on overall web design, as well as give away free icon sets each week. Not sure if you've ever been to that one, but it's definitely something to add to your RSS feeds. -Caleb
