How to use website design inspiration

Good inspiration is specific. You want sites in your industry, in the mood you have in mind, built for the kind of visitor you serve. A random scroll rarely gives you that. Search does. Type what you need, such as a calm studio site with big type, and look at the matches side by side.

On DesignPorn you can search website design in plain words, or upload a screenshot to find designs like it. Open any item to see its palette with share, its heading and body fonts, and its spacing base unit. Save the best to a board and send it to a client by private link. Every item has a source link and a credit to its author. Next, look at landing page examples.

Patterns to look for

Lead with one clear idea. The first screen says what the site is and who it is for.
Use a narrow set of colors. One neutral base, one accent, and text with strong contrast.
Choose two type families at most, with a clear scale from heading to caption.
Build on a spacing base unit, such as 8 pixels, so gaps feel steady.
Show real work or product early. A picture of the thing beats a claim about it.

Are the sites credited?

Yes. Every site has a source link and a credit to its authors.
