20 BEST NEW WEBSITES, SEPTEMBER 2023

By Paddi MacDonnell
September 11, 2023

Are you in need of design inspiration? Are you looking for the best websites
designed in 2023 to pull ideas, techniques, and trends from? Do you just love
web design and enjoy seeing what’s out there? Whatever your reason for being
here, welcome!



Every month, we pull together this roundup of the very best in the field of web
design. This month, there’s color everywhere, a new trend for low-fi graphics is
emerging, and designers are borrowing heavily from fashion marketing.



FEW

Few is a digital agency with an enviable client list. Its site features
luminescent gradients and is focused on the experience of working with its
flexible team structure. There’s nothing extraneous here, just a clear,
appealing pitch.




OLD RIGA KVEST

Ever wanted to explore the hidden parts of the city without getting lost,
burning through cash, or missing the best bits? Old Riga Kvest allows you to do
just that in Riga Old Town with an innovative, gamified online tour of the
Latvian capital.




GIOPATO & COOMBES

Giopato & Coombes makes some of the most beautiful lighting products you’ve ever
seen. Its site features clever, subtle effects, such as the filter applied to
its logo, the subtle parallax effects that introduce its imagery, and the
delightful text fades.


COLABS

CoLabs builds and runs collaborative biology-orientated science labs, like
co-working for laboratory science. It uses exceptional macroscopic video and
vibrant natural colors to highlight its specialist field.




VICIO

If you’re more of a maximalist than a minimalist, then check out this excellent
site for Vicio. It uses the clichés of a fashion brand to promote a Spanish fast
food brand.


SPRING/SUMMER

Another creative company adopting the language usually reserved for fashion
houses is Copenhagen’s Spring/Summer. It has an awesome collection of work on
show, and we love the boldness of that vibrant red.




NICK LAVECCHIA

As soon as you set eyes on Nick Levecchia’s site, you know you’re looking at a
professional photographer. There’s a wall of thumbnails that invite you to click
through into individual stories. What more does a photographer need?


ÖBB HISTORY

This fascinating site explores the history of ÖBB, Austria’s federal railways.
It’s not a subject that sounds engaging, but taking a digital ticket for a
different time period takes you on a journey that is unexpectedly engrossing.




LE FRUIT

Le Fruit is a French creative agency with a colorful and exciting showreel.
Distinctly Parisian, its work is fun to browse and packed with amazing art
direction. Click through the showreel to the main site and discover a modern
take on Brutalism.


HUGE

Huge is a creative agency that works with huge clients on huge campaigns. Its
site employs Pantone’s color of 2023, which is hardly surprising as it helped
launch it. It’s an enticing pitch if you have millions in your budget.




NON-STANDARD

Non-Standard picks up on three popular design trends: glitchy motion design,
dark mode, and a neo-brutalist approach that is very popular with design studios
this month. It’s a confident, no-nonsense approach.


TILES

Tiles is a bio-builder that allows you to create a simple landing page for
yourself with all of your links. Its site does a great job of previewing the
variety that is achievable with such a simple concept.




KNITH

Knith sells gorgeous handmade homeware, from blankets to spoons, from this
playful ecommerce site. There’s a distinct sense of character, and the typeface
employed throughout the site is a bold choice that really embodies the
specialist approach.


MELLON FOUNDATION

The Mellon Foundation offers grants to organizations working in the arts and
humanities. It uses rich pinks to highlight its non-profit status, avoiding the
typical NGO style in favor of simple blog-style reporting of its success
stories.




TACTIC

Tactic does something clever with AI and customer metrics, but what we’re
interested in is the beautiful use of gradient on its homepage to create a sense
of power and depth. Gradients work so much better when used as a metaphor.


THE MULTIVERSE SUMMIT

The Multiverse Summit was a two-day conference experience focused on Web3
gaming. Its site features glitch-effect video, abstract animation, and some
incredible UI details, not least the blur-in thumbnails.




ARTIFACT

More neo-brutalism, this time from design agency Artifact. We love the 90s-style
pixel type and the decorative grid on display; it hints at the strategic
decisions that take place unpinning the glossy design work.


THE WORKSHOP

The Workshop is described as an experimental space for building and scaling
digital products. It’s a simple landing page with an awesome 3D logo that
expands and then bursts into thousands of colored balls. It says very little but
is incredibly memorable.




DEEL

Deel is a global hiring, HR, and payroll app. Its site is designed to be fresh
and multicultural whilst also appealing to modern corporations that expect
reliability and transparency in addition to the energy and innovation of a
startup.


DESIGN LEADERSHIP

Future London Academy’s free design leadership webinars adopts the popular pixel
trend and packs it with color, making the site feel like a Mario game. If you’re
interested in creative leadership, the videos are well worth your time.
