01. Dopple Press: best user experience
While all of the featured Wix websites provide an A+ user experience, risograph printing studio Dopple Press really takes the cake. The site’s visually attractive and easy to read, thanks to a clean and spacious layout paired with a bright color scheme and palette for optimum aesthetics. Designer Liv White also worked with Velo to implement creative animations on every page, encouraging visitors to interact with her content- such a great example of interactive design at work.
02. OK Drugs: best use of asymmetry
Exciting visuals? Check. Edible typography? Check. Spunky color scheme? Check. Cute iconography? Check. Vibrant graphics? Check. There are so many reasons OK Drugs made the cut for best websites and web design inspiration, but its use of asymmetry really cinched the decision.
One of the principles of design is to create balance within a composition. While many of the best website designs tend to achieve this using symmetrical layouts, OK Drugs approaches balance in an asymmetrical fashion. The collaged layout honors the brand's unconventionality and the bounty of white space prevents the site from overwhelming its chill-seeking guests.
03. Sonja van Duelmen: best one-page website
Incorporating animation, galleries, use of multimedia and a playful use of typography and fonts, Sonja van Duelmen's one-page website is a delight to scroll through. She mixes layouts without disorienting the user, demonstrating her prowess as a designer and at designing with perspective in mind.
Using one of her designs as a cover image, Sonja developed the website header to mimic a magazine cover. Her website title sits boldly in the center of the page and aligns with a curve in the cover image. On the right-hand side, anchor points function as a table of contents.
Dafna appreciates the use of Wix's Strips and Columns, tools that enable users to create responsive, full-width elements. "It’s very interesting and dynamic and different and experimental," she says. "The creator explored different options, layouts, features and ways of using typography. It’s not repetitive."
Tip: Check out our one page website builder if you wish to create your own one page website.
04. Yantra: best restaurant website
Unlike many restaurant websites, Yantra's focuses on the atmosphere and eliciting emotion instead of its food. The homepage features a full-bleed gallery of stunning images of the restaurant's interior, which promises a new feast for the eyes around every corner. We love that the online menu features a tab for each section of the menu (since scrolling through the extensive menu would've otherwise been quite overwhelming) and how human-centered design wins the day. Also, the site builder used the Wix Gift Card feature so that regulars can easily gift e-vouchers to their loved ones.

05. Bhroovi Gupta: best About Us page
When looking out for the best About Us page on our list, we wanted to find one with personality. Enter Bhroovi Gupta, a young graphic designer with a passion for technology and motion design. Her About page opens on a stark white background with a large header that states, "I'm many things." Below it are hashtags that introduce not only her as a professional but also as a person.
Gupta's bio succinctly summarizes her work history and inspirations, and the resume section lists her awards, press features and her roles in various groups. Finally, we love that the page features a few 3D animations and motion graphics, as it shows visitors her capabilities and innovation.
Tip: Check out these About Us page tips if you need some help building your own. About us pages can play an impactful role in developing brand awareness around your business or brand and shouldn't be left out of you web design inspiration process.
06. Noah Demeuldre: best use of video
As an art director who has worked on commercials, film, music videos and TV, it's no surprise that Noah Demeuldre made the cut for best websites with his use of video. The one-page website is constantly in motion. Demeuldre's clips fill the screen, and the reveal scroll effect he applies to each one ensures that a visitor's experience moving through the website is as captivating as his work.
Tip: If you're great at making videos but not so great at building websites, check out these video website templates that can be used with the Wix website builder.
07. HERoines: best nonprofit website
We chose HERoines as the best web design example in the nonprofit website category, because of its effectiveness as a branding asset. The feminine color scheme and empowering imagery creates a cohesive brand image for the organization. This good looking site uses testimonials, a strong message statement and clear CTAs to draw in new members and encourage donations. Being able to incorporate your design and your conversion rate optimization efforts makes for a healthy and successful website.
08. Daniel Aristizabal: best graphic design website
The second you arrive at Daniel Aristizabal's graphic design website website, you’ve got to admit: This guy’s got skill and he's got a good looking website. We love that he utilized such a wide range of Wix tools—such as VideoBox, Hover Box and Wix website animations—to create a highly interactive experience for visitors.
Most importantly, Aristizable uses his portfolio website to showcase his latest projects, deploy storytelling and capture leads. An organized full-page layout gives us an overview of his work, and buttons placed at each of the four corners invite visitors to connect by providing a contact page and links to his Instagram and Behance profiles.
09. Noni Ceramica: best mobile website
With mobile devices accounting for 52% of global internet traffic, we had to include a site that provides a great experience for smartphone users on our best websites list. Noni Cermica’s mobile website stands out, in the world of best web design, because it fits everything a user needs into the palm of their hand: a condensed menu for easy browsing, a prominent shop button for access to their cart and a chat feature for on-the-go customer service.
"It's a really, really simple test, just publish your website and just scroll and make sure that everything is visible and nothing disappears and, and, and nothing and everything looks good. And of course, mobile, which a lot of times maybe people forget to do the mobile, version. And it's right for every website, not just business website." - Dafna Rabin, template design team lead at Wix
10. Shinyoung Kim: best use of typography
Shinyoung Kim’s use of typography enhances what can already be considered an outstanding and good-looking site. She strategically uses several different fonts that complement one another: a loopy font for her signature, a rounded font for her subheading and a more classic serif font for menu text. Kim reserves a fourth clean and legible font for the site copy. This ensures a comfortable reading experience for everyone.
11. Hal Haines: best product photography
Hal Haines wins this round with its creative twist to product photography. An interdisciplinary artist with a background in photography, Hal is able to showcase his ceramic creations and artwork against fun (but not overwhelming) backdrops. Visitors can get a sense of Hal's unique style, while visualizing his collections in their own homes.
12. BlinkMyBrain: best favicon
Charming visitors and sealing its brand identity, BlinkMyBrain's favicon is a prominent detail that qualifies it for our best websites list. A favicon is a small image that appears in the website's tab next to its title so that a user can easily find it, even if they keep dozens open at all times. BlinkMyBrain's favicon is a cutout of a still from the animation director's clips: an elderly man flexing and wearing an astronaut helmet.
13. Mikaela Reuben: best website header
Mikaela Reuben makes a strong first impression with her website header. With a full-bleed video of the health counselor picking rhubarb from a garden, the header makes Rueben's holistic approach clear from the get-go. We love that the sticky navigation bar has a white font without a background when visitors are at the top of the page, but it changes to one with a translucent, off-white background and black text when they scroll down. A search bar further enhances the user experience, providing easy access to the bounty of recipes Rueben offers up free of charge.
14. Isshī: best parallax scrolling
The three-dimensional qualities of parallax scrolling makes viewers feel as if they are discovering hidden content, providing an engaging experience from start to finish. Isshī's unconventional use of the effect is particularly alluring. The site features floating graphics that serve as a backdrop to Isshī's logo, creating an "Alice in Wonderland" effect.
“I want people to feel like they're being sucked in...I want it to feel like a video game,” said Isshī's founder, Rolly Robínson, in an interview with us. Rolly utilized Wix's out-of-the-box animations to further create an immersive, ethereal experience.
15. Cami Ferreol: best website footer
Don't overlook the footer just because it's the last thing people see on a website. Cami Ferreol proves just how strong an impression a great website footer can make. Signing off with a postcard-like design, the creative strategist thanks website visitors, leaving her contact details and a recommended music playlist. Finally, Ferreol stamps the end of her site with a headshot and logo, earning her major points for personal branding.
16. Chico Santos: best website layout
Chico Santos' website layout is as original as it is user friendly. On the left of the page, Santos' lists their projects in reverse-chronological order. The list functions as a navigation bar so that, when a guest clicks on a project, it appears on the right. "It's very simple and uncomplicated," said Dafna. "I like the way one side is sticky and the other one scrolls, because it's a nice way to keep you oriented while you scroll through images. It's a smart solution."
Tip: If you struggle with website layout, utilize these website templates to help you create your amazing website design seamlessly.
"Another way of trying to solve it is just understand what kind of content you have, then look for a template that can give you a the right starting point for that. Lets say that you want to have a lot of text in your welcome or in the second fold, so look for the layout that will go well with your content with what you want to say," says Dafna.
17. Ellen Von Wiegand: best lightbox
Even the best websites need a well-designed lightbox, and Ellen Von Wiegand's artist website provides a wonderful example of an amazing website design. Because the lightbox design is consistent with the rest of the website, it doesn't bother visitors when it pops on-screen. Featuring a discount and the promise of exclusive offers, the form incentivizes the reader to enter their email address before they hit the exit button.
18. Nathalie Lete: best splash page
Using the extra website real estate to greet visitors, Nathalie Lete’s splash page on her illustrator website provides an intriguing preview of her talents. As an artist, she nailed her branding, incorporating a sketchbook page into the background to bolster her professional identity. At the bare minimum, it's just a cute website, matching the style of the rest of her art.
19. Scarf Aid: best blog design
This year, we’d be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge Scarf Aid’s blog design among our best website designs. Providing creative relief from the stress of the coronavirus pandemic, “Busy Bee Blogger” features a new silk scarf with each post, providing a poetic context for her daily journal entries. The simple blog layout features the most recently published first, while providing links to each series in the navigation menu.
"The most important thing before building a website is good research. Know what you want to do and collect good inspirations that will contribute to your design." - Anna Suntsov, blog and social design team lead at Wix
20. Meppity: best use of movement
Using animation on a website can be tricky territory. As we can see from artist Anya Butler's website, implementing animation in small doses can create a visual flow for visitors that’s dynamic and engaging. From the jittery text to the hover animations, the moving elements aren't just fun to look at—they also guide a guest's interactions on the site.
21. Tach Clothing: best online store
We chose Tach Clothing for our best online store because they prove how a beautiful website design can facilitate an ideal shopping experience for users, while still be a perfect example of inspirational web design. The minimalist design allows the fantastic photography to shine and makes navigation simple. The fact that a second product photo shows when a user hovers over an item makes for a pleasant and convenient shopping experience.
22. Wit180: best website background
The best website backgrounds set the perfect tone for the rest of the site’s design. In Wit180’s case, that tone is exciting, yet tasteful and out of the ordinary, providing an ideal setting for Graphic Designer Tim's online portfolio. The bright textured design complements the large, brown cardboard box that visitors see as soon as they land on the homepage. It brings excitement to an otherwise ordinary-looking object, which is there to emphasize Tim's passion in branding.
23. Fei Luo: best photography website
When your photographs are this good, there’s no better way to show them off than with a fullscreen slideshow. Shanghai-based photographer Fei Luo does just that, putting her best works front and center on the homepage of her photography website. This helps to draw attention and demonstrate her skills and style right off the bat.
24. In Print Art Book Fair: best FAQ page
In Print Art Book Fair has one of the best website designs on this list, with an exemplary FAQ page. Providing visitors with answers to common questions, the FAQ page reveals important details about applying and participating in the annual event.
The Jerusalem-based fair for artists, book publishers and printmakers also does a great job at localizing content, splitting the FAQ page between two languages. A spacious footer and prominent menu give visitors easy access to more information from In Print Art Book Fair, such as an open call application, social media profiles and archives from past events.
25. Ryan Haskins: best trendsetter
Graphic designer Ryan Haskins gave his brutalist website a lo-fi treatment, demonstrating his confidence and cultural awareness. "Everything is so loud and trashy, which is very trendy," said Dafna. The clashing colors and Powerpoint-esque animations would be grating if utilized by an amateur, but Haskins effectively uses them to emphasize his bold and playful brand personality.
26. Mariela Mezquita: best contact page
Mariela Mezquita's contact us page is just as sweet as the rest of her website. The round corners on the input fields, playful typography and cheeky tone create an approachable vibe that welcomes in strangers. “I really love the use of movement with the GIF and the use of color in the fields," said Dafna. "It makes it look like a game.”
Whereas experts would typically encourage you to limit web forms to only ask for the bare minimum, the fact that Mezquita has eight fields in her contact form shows her interest in getting to know all her potential customers. The non-mandatory pronoun field is especially thoughtful, as it shows she wants to make all her customers comfortable.
27. The Robin Collective: best website color scheme
Web design trends come and go, and this year we’re seeing extremes in both minimalist and maximalist directions. The Robin Collective perfects the latter, earning its place among the best websites with this spunky color scheme.
Capturing the attention of visitors with a sunshine-yellow background above the fold and bursts of pink and blue throughout, The Robin Collective demonstrates how an effective color scheme can draw people in and immediately set the tone. Not everyone can pull off such a daring design but The Robin Collective's use of color proves its status as an out-of-the-box agency.
28. Objective: best minimalist website
It's not easy to make a minimalist website with a muted color scheme exciting, but Objective did just that. The site sets the bar for best web design high with a sophisticated use of colors and parallax scrolling (among other design choices) that keep the site uncluttered, but intriguing. Interestingly, while the "Objective" logo is written in lowercased text, the site uses all caps font—adding character but ensuring that everything is still legible.
29. Sharon Radisch: best homepage design
Sharon Radisch's chic homepage design shows how much of an impact a site designer can make with a simple layout. Colorful, abstract photos dominate the page in a grid-like pattern. At the bottom of the page, you'll find a bright yellow strip of text introducing the artist behind the site. When making a homepage, having a mix of dynamic, high-resolution photos is vital to telling a memorable story.
30. Jennifer Xiao: best Gen Z design
If we could only use one word to describe Jennifer Xiao's site, it would be playful. And yet, the site's playfulness doesn't give you reason to take Jennifer less seriously. Rather, it demonstrates her capacity to connect with Gen Zers, who value authenticity.
The illustrator's animated logo sits squarely in the middle of six icons that visitors can click through to explore. The combination of rounded font and a clean white background creates an inviting atmosphere, while giving Jennifer's artwork the spotlight.

What defines a best website vs a bad one?
Now that you’re inspired by the best web design out there, we've put together some of the factors that got them on our list, with the goal of helping you get started with your own good looking website.
A strong brand identity
Your website should reflect your brand's personality and values. This means using consistent colors, fonts and imagery throughout your site. This is true regardless of whether you build a personal or business website.
Make sure your website is easy to use
Visitors should be able to find what they're looking for quickly and easily. Use clear navigation and simple layouts and avoid long, rambling text blocks or unfocused navigation. Amazing website designs mean nothing if users can't navigate your site well.
Use high-quality images and videos
Visual content is a great way to capture attention and engage visitors. Make sure your images and videos are high-resolution and relevant to your content as this quality really defines our round up of good looking websites.
Use whitespace effectively
Whitespace can help to make your website look more organized and inviting. So don't be afraid to leave some space around your content. You can also use a dark mode option for visitors who prefer a more minimalist look.
Use mobile-friendly design
Your website should look good on all devices, from desktop computers to smartphones. Optimize for mobile or lead with responsive design so that your site will automatically adjust to the size of the screen it's being viewed on. Get creating your site via responsive AI with Wix Studio. Again no matter how amazing your website designs are, if your site is not mobile-friendly, users won't have a good experience.
Keep your website up-to-date and create engaging content
Make sure your website is always updated, content and design wise, to keep visitors coming back. Good web design examples do just this.
