Great Web Design Examples

Rafael Nadal – www.rafaelnadal.com

The official site of world No.1 tennis player Rafael Nadal is an example of stunning web design. The site reflects the energy of the young tennis star through an inventive layout, creative use of typography and fun navigational techniques. As you navigate through the multimedia sectionof the site, Rafa himself is often seen running through the pages, playing tennis, often he hits the tennis ball and breaks apart the title of the section the user is viewing, this demonstrates a creative use of graphics and typography. When you are finished with one section, simply click the next link and the words of the previous article seem to crumble of the page making room for the new article. Even the loading page is creative and beautiful. Rather than watching a standard bar that tells the user the percentage of the page left to load, this site features tennis balls that seem to be served towards the user, the user can then click these and they bounce across the page while the user is waiting for the page to load. This site is a beautiful, creative and inventive example of great web design.

The design snack site gives the user control of what information they view and how it appears on screen. Visitors to the site can browse sites by colour, category and date added. This site is a good demonstration of interactivity and customisation tailored to users preference.
