Instead of jumping between random sites, here’s a curated list of reliable inspiration platforms — with clear categories depending on what you need: landing pages, websites, portfolios, components, or bold stylistic experiments.

We’ve compiled the most up-to-date list of the best places to find UI/UX and web design inspiration in 2025. This includes landing page collections, brutalist layouts, dark mode examples, and section-specific reference libraries. At the end, we’ll show how Craftwork integrates inspiration directly into your workflow.
Craftwork Inspiration (formerly Curated.design)
What used to be Curated.design — a clean gallery of daily selected websites — is now fully integrated into Craftwork’s Inspiration section. Same content, same curation quality, now part of the broader Craftwork ecosystem.
Craftwork has been curating a free website inspiration gallery for several years. Alongside it, we’re now building a growing library of reusable layout blocks — headers, footers, pricing sections, features, and more — sourced from standout websites. It’s all available inside Craftwork under the Curated Websites and Curated Sections collections.
