Siteinspire

Hand-curated archive of ~8,000 well-designed websites, filtered by style, type and subject

Tier B · UsefulGalleryDirectorysiteinspire.com

Siteinspire is a long-running editorial gallery of finished websites, curated rather than crowd-voted, with roughly 8,000 entries in the archive. Every site is filed under four orthogonal filter axes — Styles (Typographic, Minimal, Grid Layout, Unusual Layout...), Types (Agencies & Consultancies 2,352, Design & Art Direction, Portfolio, Web & Interactive Design, E-Commerce), Subjects (Fashion, Art, Photography...) and Platforms — which you can stack to narrow a search. Popularity views (Today's Best / Week / Month / Year) surface what is currently resonating. It is aimed at web and brand designers looking for whole-page art direction, not at engineers looking for components.

For an agent

Use this only to give a human art direction for a marketing or portfolio site — the payload is screenshots, so you cannot extract markup, tokens or copy from it. Its real machine-usable asset is the filter vocabulary (style x type x subject), which is a decent controlled taxonomy to borrow when you need to describe a visual direction in words. Note that subpages sit behind a Vercel bot checkpoint: the homepage renders for a fetcher, deeper category pages return 429 or a JS challenge, so plan on citing the site rather than crawling it.

Why it is here. It is the oldest surviving curated web-design archive with real editorial standards, so its filter taxonomy has effectively become the shared language for describing site styles. Any design catalog without it looks like it started in 2024.
