Getting into the world of web design and inspiration, you cancategorize websites into thousands of different trends, platforms, siteelements and the list can go on. Dark websites have always been apopular choice as black is the obvious choice to rebel against allthose white websites that crowded the web in the early years. Thesedays, white is used in a lot of more professional, corporate designs,so you could say that black is slightly more creative.

I feel when designing a website with a dark colour scheme, I believeyou should be trying to force the content, let the content or portfoliopieces jump out from the site, or to create a soothing, subtle feelabout your business. Dark colours are great for design on the web,these 43 examples help support this.

This is a list of places that readers have recommended. Some Ihaven’t heard of, and several I’ve added to my own favorites list.

Without further ado – I present 16 sites that you visit for design inspiration.

1. The Best Designs

I’ve written about The Best Designs before,so I didn’t list it down this time around. For those unfamiliar withthe site, The Best Designs is a wonderful spot to view high-qualityXHTML and Flash designs. They tag each design with relevant keywords(i.e. – Bold, Colorful, CSS) so you can narrow down your search to theparticular look you’re attracted in.
