If you’re a regular visitor of this site you probably know that I love sites that have a unique design and that feeling that says “I don’t give a damn about standards”. This is why I made a collection of beautifully illustrated form designs, not just regular form designs, with a little twitch that makes them different from the default forms, but far different ones, with great illustrations integrated in them or in the overall design that urges you to take an action, depending on the form type: comment, contact, login/register.

I have to tell you that I discovered my first CSS framework more than a year ago and I was fascinated at least. Hours of writing the same dull code and then solving the same silly bugs have been lost before it and I was almost mad about it but in the same time happy that I’ve at least found the bloody thing. Out of a personal curiosity I’ve searched all the possible CSS frameworks to see what they are bringing new and how they are helping the community and then selected the best of them for other unfortunate designers or developers out there who don’t have their hands on a CSS grid framework. I was surprised that people have already made mobile CSS/HTML frameworks but you won’t have to, cause you got them here and can use them free.

Although pink makes you think of cotton candy, bubble gum and girly stuff, it’s actually a very interesting color to use in a web environment. Some designers use it as a predominant color in their website filling the background with it, while others just use a more subtle approach and use just for links, headings or other small elements. We can also divide the pink websites in two categories, the bright ones that look like sugar, spice and everything nice and the dark ones, that look a little bit more serious. Like it or not, pink is a web design trend.

Alongside red and green blue is one of the most common color that you find or use in the site’s design. Firstly, because the clients asks it. Secondly, because you want to use it, as a designer because it suggests smartness, cold and trust and you want that in your designs. Thirdly, because it looks damn good. I didn’t want to just stuff these sites in the article and I decided to filter them for you, depending on what type of site design you would be interested in seeing. Therefore, you have creative, business, minimalistic and e-commerce websites in this list, all of them with a blue touch. I don’t know how many are there in this article. “A lot of them” sounds enough.

Creative

I love creative sites. You probably noticed that if you’ve read the weekly website inspirational articles. My admiration for these design is probably the reason for this list’s volume. That and maybe because it’s not that easy to make a design that looks rather conceptual and that proves that you have a rich imagination.
