Ask HN: What are the best designed websites you ever saw?

21 points·sirwitti··9 comments

For inspiration and learning how others are solving design problems, I'm looking for the (in your eyes) best designed websites you know of.

Ideally they should be responsive, work on decently current browsers, and the overall user experience should be good.

Thanks a lot for your posts! Martin

So you mean this website? http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/

Not really, but it's cool anyway :)

I'll add Metafilter. Simple, no CSS or HTML5 tricks. Loads in a heartbeat. Doesn't crash my old iPhone like, oh, Medium, Wired, Atlantic, or any of the other modern sites.

They just updated their look, but it doesn't take much longer to load than their old look. (Members default to the old look so you might not have noticed.)

It's great. "This site doesn't care if you're on an iMac or a motherf*ing Tamagotchi." Perfectly reasonable and I very much respect this approach.

Been posted several times on HN but April Zero always deserves a shout.

I regularly browse beautifulopen.com for inspiration. They're not all amazing, but there are definitely some gems there.

The interfaces and designs from MetaLab are some of the best around. http://metalab.co/
