libraries like this usually come with a monthly subscription. i wanted to build one that doesn't, so i did, and it's free for everyone

it took a lot. i went through 100 mobile apps screen by screen, from signup to settings, so you can see complete flows instead of one pretty shot. then i kept going with websites, landing pages, ui interactions, motion and branding. it's at 58,000+ designs now, and i add more every day

every curated piece credits the original creator and links back to them, so the people behind the work get the credit they deserve

i made it because i needed it myself, and i'd rather give it to the community than lock it behind a paywall

would really love to hear what's missing or what bugs you

For over twenty years, every time a website caught my eye I grabbed a screenshot and dropped it into a folder. As an art director it was my way of keeping track of what felt fresh at the time. The folder quietly grew to almost 4,000 images.

I finally turned it into a browsable archive:
https://dmdev.it/webscreens

A few things you’ll notice scrolling through:

• the early 2000s: Flash intros, tiny fixed-width layouts, 1024×768 everything

• 2008–2010, the peak of the collection: glossy buttons, huge hero images, the rise of “web 2.0”

• the slow shift toward flat design, big typography and full-screen photography

Each screenshot is dated to the day I saved it. You can filter by year with the timeline at the top, or hit “Random” and just get lost.

No ads, no tracking, just the archive. Happy to hear which era hits you hardest.

Edit: thanks for all the comments! Since a few of you asked what browsing the web felt like back then, I also rebuilt the archive as if it were 2005: loading bar, “skip intro”, pixel fonts, a working guestbook and only the 2004–2006 screenshots → https://dmdev.it/webscreens/2005/

More and more people are leaning on AI, specifically Claude, to design their websites. While that is not necessarily bad if you know what you are doing, and that is a gigantic IF, many are just taking the AI's output and presenting it as their own design.

This is what is leading to half of the new websites in the last year looking more or less like this.

Have you encountered such designs in the wild?

https://avara-one.vercel.app/ (works best on chrome obviously) would love to hear some opinions. There's also a behind the scenes page showing some tricks I used (I'm not a developer by any means but still) and shader scripts if anyone's interested 🤘

The website for a company from Frauenfeld, Switzerland that repair freight wagons. Their old site was done on Jimdo, which is still available here https://www.rail-tec.ch/, as we are waiting for DNS setup from owner's side.

What we did:
A rail track runs down the whole page with a train on it, and each section sits in its own little rail-yard scene. That we use as we call it "business signature", we always try to do that for the our customers (sometimes it's not easy...), so website visitors can feel a bit of a wow effect and visually guess what business is dealing with without even reading texts.
Real photos of the two guys and their van.
The video in hero is AI generated.
“What a wagon costs while it stands still” comes right after the hero. Downtime is the customer’s real pain, so we lead with that.
The enquiry form asks for the wagon number and where it stands, so they can quote without calling back.

Made a simple and free SVG converter with a friend. All feedback is welcome :)

I kind of miss the early web. Radioactive colors, clashing fonts, wonky layouts, a lot of it was pretty ugly but it had personality, you could tell it was designed by a real person. Now most things look very safe and sterile, same clean template-y patterns... not a criticism, it makes sense that people (me included) reuse what works. I just sometimes miss the rough edges that got sanded off.

1 year ago I began playing around with a few experimental UI ideas and picked forms as a test case. It started out as a small side project and then eventually turned into a form builder where you can really mess with the design and layout, add animations, etc. Make something that doesn't look like it came from a template.

Still an experiment but having a lot of fun with it :) What do you think? www.formgrid.com

I wanted to know how much it would cost me to make a 3D website like this one oakwooduae.com ?

How's it guys, need feedback !

• leaf generated in paper.design

• watercolour in unicorn.studio

• text/content inspo in perplexity.ai

• scroll interaction in framer.com

Hey there,

I am currently building my web-design/branding studio page.
We specialise for beauty-salons in our city, so we have a very specific customer profile (mostly female, non technical).

Since we are doing website as a service and the website is only the core of our offer, I wanted to make the website a bit more educational, because most of our customers think, that a website is just a digital business card.

My goal was to make the website feel more like a little story of us explaining, the importance of all our services combined (website, seo, images, branding, print etc.).

Go a bit more into details and then also show the "technical" side visually – with the note, that we handle all that complicated stuff.

And since we are local (we do 100% of our acquisition in person), after that try to visually give the feeling of us being there in person.

Most of the texts are still placeholder, but I guess they are german anyways^^

Would love to hear some thoughts on the site and maybe some things I could improve.

Don't lie I got you for a second didn't I? 😂

Chill guys, Claude didn't make shit here. It was all me, figma & framer.

Introducing my new template Mahadeva(https://mahadeva.framer.ai/), made for AI Agencies. What do you think about it, let me know your thoughts.

Fell free to drop your feedback.

What do you guys think? made the video using Veo 3 and then embedded it into framer.

Finally got my portfolio live. Had a lot of fun with this one, especially the 3D stuff. It was real pain to optimize it for most devices.

There’s a Rubik’s cube you can actually solve, projects arranged in a helix, and a 3D version of me because apparently a photo wasn’t enough.

Have a look around. Curious what you think of it.

**EDIT**: Thought I should clarify a couple of things from the comments section.

That said, that's what the project was – the attempt to combine my own creative experience with Threejs portfolio experiment. The goal was to experiment with Threejs and implement a bit unconventional visual experiments and UI interaction in the way which hasn't been widespread here in Estonia.

Actually, this project was born about 2 years ago. Thanks to the great improvement of coding by AI tools, I've decided to go back to this experiment and expand it in order to get much further, primarily in terms of graphics, shaders and UI.

Yes guys, you're right, there are elements which definitely looks AI-coded. I went through so many different buttons designs and Claude just delivered what I liked the most (after tons of prompting). Particularly, it concerns the Services page which is almost entirely vibe-coded and after revisiting this page, I see that I definitely have something to improve there. The creative direction of the homepage, on the other hand, was entirely my own (as experimental as it is).

As for the comment about the dashboard being my only project in 6+ years, not at all. I've been working professionally as a fullstack/frontend engineer since 2019, long before AI coding tools became a thing. Most of that time I've worked on production applications, corporate websites and internal systems as part of teams at agencies and software companies, dealing with everything from frontend architecture and complex business logic to API integrations and UI development.

A few projects I've contributed to last 2 years include: Wisehosting, Veego, Creative Union, and a government document management system. Some of my work is covered by NDAs, so I can't freely showcase everything and simple WordPress pages don't add much value here. I agree, that I screwed up on the portfolio showcasing part.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback guys. Appreciate especially those who tried to really explore the project and report the bugs. I am really working towards improving and a good constructive criticism helps to deliver the result in the end of the day. Cheers!
