A website or landing page today cannot just be useful, informative, or easy to use. It should also have that extra ‘spice’, something that makes the whole experience of visiting it a memorable one.
The user interface, simply put, is the means by which the user and the software interact. This interaction is meant to be optimized and simplified, and the content of a page should be easy to find and use.
But some designers go the extra mile and make the UI design a product of itself. Sometimes it can happen that you remember the page itself better than the product it markets.
Here is a selection of 5 UI designs we’re in love with:
Sylvain Theyssens
This website belongs to a Freelance Creative Director, and it definitely exudes creativity and vibrant colors. Theyssens has an admirable portfolio and A list clients, yet he somehow managed to crunch it down into a one-pager where you can find his best projects. The website has а ‘screensaver’, and you can see his projects by simply hovering over the moving titles of the projects. The whole website also changes color to be aligned with the color of the product that is currently selected.
Cann, a ‘social tonic’ brand, made a website as fun as its product, which is a cannabis-infused soda drink. Everything about it, from the ‘cannsierge’ that is there to help with questions, to the bubbles fizzing in the background, and how the colors change when you reach a new flavor, just radiates with fun. Even the value propositions are small waves of words.
The design altogether is very modern and aligned with today’s aesthetic trends. You should check out the website, because a screenshot really doesn’t do it justice.
The Powerhouse Company is an architecture and design studio providing modernist, impressive solutions. Their mission is “We give meaning to space”, and completely following that mantra, the website is also intelligently crafted to save space. You can select different categories, such as ‘furniture’, ‘interior’, ‘offices’, etc, and only that type of solution stays highlighted in the website. The others are blurred. By clicking on each project, you can read more about the inspiration and thought process behind it.
Stone and Style design and craft beautiful stones. As simple as that. By scrolling down their website, a big boulder is processed, cut and reshaped into a stone tile. And with that slick and elegant animation, you perfectly understand what they do and how they do it.
A brand that seels superfruit nectar with antioxidant properties with a name like Queen Garnet, has to have a very royal-looking website. This nutrition supplements and cosmetics brand has a website in royal plum color, with great animations and photos that present the products in the right light.
Everything about this website, from the color palette to the fonts, definitely beams with elegance and class, and it is a great place to learn about the healthy properties of the Australian plum.
