13 killer website galleries to inspire your designs

Website galleries, aka CSS galleries: they're a great source of ideas, as well as keeping us abreast of the latest web design trends. We all have our go-to web design gallery for quick inspiration when the brief drops on your desk - but are there other sites you might not know about, that could be even more useful?

Galleries come in all shapes and sizes with hundreds popping up every day it's hard to sift through the low-quality ones to find the real gems. Here's 13 that are definitely worth considering to bookmark...

01. Awwwards

Sites featured on Awwwards are picked by a jury rather than a single curator

• Gallery updates: @awwwards

Awwwards is a little different to most website galleries because sites are selected by a jury rather than a single curator. If you sign up to the site you can curate your own choices and create your own favourites list, which very handy if you're looking for a certain niche of website.

02. The FWA

FWA is the website gallery others aim to emulate

• Gallery updates: @fwa

The FWA (Favorite Website Awards) is considered the crème de la crème of galleries within the web design industry. Like Awwwards it has its own vibrant community.

03. HTML Inspiration

Ease of use is the main attraction with this site

• Gallery updates: @htmlinspiration

In contrast with the first two web design galleries on our list, HTML Inspiration takes a minimalist approach to its design, letting the work speak for itself. The selection on this website is brilliant and the featured website is nice and big so you don't even need to click on it to appreciate its design.

04. Site Inspire

Nice design, great selection

• Gallery updates: @siteinspire

Site Inspire is another web design gallery that combines minimal design with finely-honed selection of great sites. It's curated by Daniel Howell, who tends to favour minimal, clean and responsive websites.

05. Admire the Web

Admire the Webs tags and categories are well chosen and aid navigation

• Gallery updates: @admiretheweb

Admire the Web is another web design gallery that features large inspirational screengrabs so you don't have to click on every one. Clear categories and tags make finding what you're looking for a piece of cake.

06. Unmatched Style

Unmatched Style lets you find sites by colour

• Gallery updates: @unmatchedstyle

Unmatched Style is a little busier than 3, 4 and 5 on our list, but they do offer some handy extra design resources. The piece de resistance is the colour chart, enabling you to find inspiration via colour.

07. Styleboost

Style Boost has showcased 1,439 sites and rising

• Gallery updates: @styleboost

At 1,439 sites and rising, there's plenty of inspiration to be found here. A nice bonus Styleboost offers is a little summary against each inspiration. Nice and clear web design gallery, this.

08. Make Better Websites

Make Better Websites benefits from big, beautiful images

• Gallery updates: @lovelywebsites

Make Better Websites offers a superb browsing experience. Nice big images accompany submissions and a brilliant refine function makes the site simple and rewarding to use.

09. CSSDSGN

CSSDSGN boasts a clean and clear layout

• Gallery updates: @cssdsgn

We're not hugely certain where the difference lies between CSS galleries and web galleries - not many websites are made without CSS these days! But besides that, we love the clean and clear design of this simple (in a good way) web design gallery.

10. One Page Love

One Page Love shares the love for one-page websites

• Gallery updates: @onepagelove

One Page Love, as you can imagine, specialises in one page websites, and it's the best we've come across in this niche. Selections are made by Rob Hope, who has great taste. He's also curator/owner of www.mmminimal.com.

11. Siiimple

We love the heart ratings given to Siiimple's selected sites

• Gallery updates: @siiimple

Siiimple specialises in minimalist web designs. A nice clean website gallery, its heart ratings are a great little touch.

12. The Best Designs

The Best Designs has been collating the best of the web since 2001

• Gallery updates: @thebestdesigns

Although this site doesn't have the cleanest design and is non-responsive, its legacy alone makes it deserving of inclusion on this list. It's been running since 2001, but the curators' taste is far from vintage, with brilliantly modern web design inspirations getting uploaded daily.

13. Web Crème

What the layout lacks, the selection more than makes up for

• Gallery updates: @webcreme

Web Crème has also been about for some time as you can see by their very slim left-aligned website. But if you think the design might be due for update, that's more than made up for by the brilliant selection of inspiring websites.
