The 10 Sites I Check When I Need Website Design Inspiration for Real Client Work

Looking for website design inspiration? These are 10 sites I use to find ideas for landing pages, real website sections, footers, navigation, SaaS interfaces, backgrounds, and animation. In this video, I open 10 sites I use for website design inspiration, including galleries where I find YC startup examples. I show what I look for, how I narrow down the options, and where I go when a page needs a better section, background, or small bit of motion. There’s even a whole gallery just for footers. I spend more time there than you might expect. What I cover: • Finding landing pages by page type and industry • Comparing real heroes, CTAs, footers, and navigation • Looking at visual direction on Dribbble and Awwwards • Finding references for SaaS dashboards and product screens • Making backgrounds and adding animation without overdoing it Sites in the video: Landingfolio: https://www.landingfolio.com/ Unsection: https://www.unsection.com/ Footer.design: https://www.footer.design/ Navbar Gallery: https://www.navbar.gallery/ Dribbble: https://dribbble.com/ Awwwards: https://www.awwwards.com/ SaaS Interface: https://saasinterface.com/ MagicPattern: https://www.magicpattern.design/ Haikei: https://haikei.app/ React Bits: https://www.reactbits.dev/ Which site do you keep coming back to?
