One Page website inspiration.
Get inspired with these hand-picked Single Page websites I really enjoyed since I last wrote. View all recent entries.
Impressive cable layering scroll animation in this One Pager (built with
Webflow) for Netceed who offer telecom and broadband solutions.
Beautifully designed launching soon page for Droplette, a Figma plugin to help you tighten up your color palettes. So much attention-to-detail throughout from the page load animation that turns into an AI demo, the glowing button hovers, the footer links easter egg and how the header 'Notify Me' button turns into a 'Copy Link' after you sign up. Wow!
Exciting, parallax scrolling One Pager (built with
Webflow) promoting a set of inflatable abstract 3D illustrations. Great reference to filling a large resolution well, with big type and even bigger imagery.
Dark-schemed One Pager for Well Designed, a niche hotel branding sub-service by iframe design studio.
Clean, minimal design in this One Pager (built with
Webflow) for Brandbeet, a design on demand service.
Neat Landing Page (built with
Framer) promoting the Atomize Design System, crafted for Figma. Lovely touch integrating a dark/light switcher that applies to moving screenshots!
Slick page load animation in this launching soon page (built with
Webflow) for Shrink Studio.

Landing Page Templates.
Here are the Landing Page templates I really enjoyed recently. View all recent templates.
'Vibrant' is a free App Landing Page template crafted by
Code Less for the
Framer no-code website builder. The clean long-scrolling layout features contemporary design trends like colorful gradient backgrounds, subtle drop shadows and lovely load animations as you scroll. [framer-pricing]
'Lorelai' is a comprehensive wedding One Page
Webflow template crafted by
Kevin Haag. The long-scrolling design features everything you'll need to celebrate your (or your clients') big day from a relationship timeline, bridal party members, image gallery, wedding weekend itinerary, gift registrar logos and a built-in RSVP form.
'LeadGen' is a very impressive One Page HTML template crafted by
ThemeZaa that includes a powerful Landing Page builder. There are over 30 pre-made demos covering nearly every industry imaginable. This demo seen here is my favorite - the Product Landing Page. Huge value for money here at only twenty bucks!

My favorite online finds.
A few resources for your next project but also some inspiring links to take a break with. Experienced anything special recently? Holla.
The making of Monument Valley - An older vid but still a classic and tons of gems to extract into our
creative products. Dan Gray of Ustwo Games talks us through the creation of
Monument Valley's impossible architecture and how it felt to win a
BAFTA.
Curated Design Principles - Mega curated list of designs principle lists ranging from people to
organisations to software. h/t @carlbarenbrug
yearmonth.day calendar - Surprized how much I'm using this. It's a minimal/brutalist calendar
webapp. Up/down arrows take you into year/month views and left/right takes
you between months. Simple. No noise. Really helps me quickly plan launch and
podcast windows.
Soft launch with a discount - Hot Tip #76 is to soft launch with a discount.
A soft launch involves moving your Landing Page from private server to live
production without a grand public announcement.
After your first successful transaction live test, send an email (or
segmented newsletter) with a healthy discount to a select audience.
This reward could be for their early-adoption signup or long-time loyalty.
Remind them that they are the first to know about the discount and keep the
tone personal.
This soft launch method allows for kinder — often more detailed — feedback
which helps ensure your Landing Page Commerce pipeline is watertight before
the official announcement.
