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

21 points by sirwitti 12y ago

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

  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. See http://www.fonerbooks.com/ http://www.fonerbooks.com/ on self-publishing. web 1.0

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/ http://metalab.co/
