1. Scott Snyder
Template: Custom
Scott Snyder’s website features a minimalist design that puts the focus on the photographer’s work. The homepage uses a near full-screen slideshow which draws attention. Also, the well-organized portfolio section lets users browse through the different categories of work without fuss. Overall, the website is easy to navigate, slick in looks, and offers fantastic readability.
3. Studio Bramble
Template: Custom
This website has a clean and modern design, with the agency’s work at the center. The homepage uses a grid of high-quality images, with a brief introduction. The site’s typography is clean and easy to read, with simple navigation. We like how the site splits work into case studies and a general gallery, as this gives visitors a quick portfolio overview and in-depth detail too.
4. BackBIPoC
Template: Brine Family
The BackBIPoC website uses the Brine family of templates to offer a simple yet impactful design with a focus on the organization’s mission. The homepage features bold typography with a prominent Call To Action (CTA.) Animations and dynamic elements shape this site, with images that display once you mouse over navigation elements. This site doesn’t follow the typical rules of web design, but does deliver a super experience.
5. Ryu Creative
Template: Custom
The RyuCreative website’s sleek and modern design showcases the agency’s branding expertise. What looks like individual images on the homepage is actually a full-screen composite header, which follows up with information on what the agency does. The site’s typography is elegant and easy to read, with minimalist navigation. However, writing is also minimal here.
7. Soilboy
Template: Custom
Soilboy’s charming and rustic design is a near-perfect complement the brand’s identity. The homepage provides clarity and focus, with a muted color palette to evoke a sense of nature and sustainability. We like the playful yet readable typography too. What’s more, almost every link on the page leads to the online shop. This a fantastic way to lead the visitor to the most impactful areas of your site.
11. Ash Owens
Template: Brine Family
Ash Owen’s website is elegant and straightforward, The homepage features a full-screen slideshow of featured blog posts, and uses a muted color palette to let the images stand out. The site’s typography could look dated or too formal in another setting, but here it works to offer some legitimacy and authority. Regardless, there’s plenty of blog links wherever you turn, which is similar to the Soilboy website.
12. Wildheart
Template: Brine Family
Wildheart presents a beautiful and whimsical design that uses tasteful image placement for their floral arrangements. The soft and muted color palette evokes a sense of romance and nostalgia. The portfolio section is also superb, as it presents almost a story of how and why particular arrangements came to be.
16. Artips
Template: Custom
The Artips Studio website is short, which isn’t an adjective we use too much. However, after you look at the huge full-screen header images of the product, you get a quick testimonial section and an Instagram feed. Once this is over, there are a few more words, and you reach the end of the home page. This isn’t a problem though, as the modern and elegant design showcases the studio’s expertise. On the whole, this is a good example of a site that doesn’t need to do too much to succeed.
17. Legue
Template: Custom.
Legue centers all of its site on what it can offer – a good tactic in our opinion. Its sleek and minimalist design uses plenty of CTAs to lead visitors around the various pages. In fact, the most activity is at the bottom of the site. There’s a newsletter signup form, navigation with greater depth, and an Instagram feed. It’s a great approach to lead with the important elements, and follow it up with everything else in order of priority.
20. Minaa B.
Template: Custom
Minaa Bs website shows how you can achieve a good balance between a personal touch and business focus. It leads with a hero image, along with text in the first person. Later on, there are links to purchase books or other services. You’ll also find other elements peppered throughout, such as client lists and how Minaa can help. This home page offers a lot, but it never feels like too much.
21. Melula
Template: Brine Family
Much like Soliboy, Melula’s website doesn’t give you much in the way of text, and it seems as though every images links to a shop. This fashion brand leads with its products, which is a clear winner of a tactic. Like its product images, the color scheme is bold too. This bright and captivating website gets you to browse through a willingness to explore the product catalog, and it does it well.
22. Pierre Thiam
Template: Ready
This site does a lot of things well, but we love the header. Almost the only content you see above the fold is a quick blurb on Pierre himself. From there, you get a longer bio and some choice images. It’s clear to see that this site is a calling card, and looks to showcase what Pierre does, rather than include links to products. Also, a special note should go to the typography, which is fitting and exquisite.
