Styles Gallery

The Styles Gallery is a collection of imaginary and real websites designed by VWD to help you find a starting point of ideas for your own site. Every website we design is unique but everyone needs a point of reference to get started. The styles below are intended to inspire ideas and to jump start your imagination in order to help us design a site that is tailor made for your commerce or informational website. Your site should reflect your target market. For instance, if you are selling beach wear to a youthful audience (and their moms!), you may want to consider a colorful and/or trendy style. Should you require an informational site or one targeted towards an older, more somber audience, the design of your site would lend itself to a more direct and conservative style.

Bold and Flashy

Creative playful design like the ones below are good for websites that don’t require a great deal of pages or complicated applications. The home pages usually feature one or or more flash animations and navigates to several pages of similar design. Designs like these meet the needs of the artistic community, smaller cottage industries, restaurants and clubs.

Magazine Style

The next set of styles are more of a magazine style. They are suited for websites with a magnitude of pages and applications. Usually the main navigation links open to sub-navigations. Designs like these are crisp and well organized for businesses and organizations that have a lot of data.

Business/Contemporary Style

These examples work well for more conservative organizations and businesses. Usually they involve interactive forms, slightly complicated navigations and administrative applications. If you have a lot of content and expect a busy site with or without a shopping cart, a business style would suit your needs.
