Inspiring web design at a glance
The Web Designer’s Idea Book includes more than 700 websites arranged thematically, so you can find inspiration by color, design style, type, theme, element and structure. It’s easy to use and reference again and again, whether you’re talking with a co-worker or discussing website design options with a client.
The book has its roots in the blog Design Meltdown where I began the process of cataloging web design on a consistent basis. The blog has a collection of over 5,000 web sites cataloged by a massive assortment of elements.
You can always purchase the book on Amazon.com where it currently sells for $16.50. Just skip a few of those mocha frappachinos and you’ve got yourself some fresh reading material.
Reviews:
This is an essential resource for web design, highlighting some of the best sites out there for innovative ideas. Design-based rather than code-heavy, it fills a gap between where technical books stop and client requests begin.

This book does just one thing, it showcases beautifully made websites and the author does this extremely well.
- Keith Donegan
This book is a great resource for inspiration if you’re in a creative rut. The best part about it is that it’s a collection of modern websites that apply to today’s design standards, not some ancient collection of Web 1.0 artifacts.
