Designs of the Week

Create unique, extraordinary websites with Squarespace. No experience necessary!

Love the subtle moving clouds and the masked effect on the photograph. The form steps slide up inside the black circle, and you’re led to a confirmation page with the same transition, the only difference is that the beautiful view had disappeared.

Like the previous site a beautiful background photograph with sites like these make a huge difference for setting the mood. Besides the attention to detail in the interface elements, the interaction is also a beautiful experience: all you have to do is type in your email and it’ll send the form right along, no need to hit Enter or push any button.

Not sure how a sultry face translates to social media campaigns but I’m curious to see how it all fits into the full site.

I’d have loved to include this in Excellent E-commerce Photography but let’s enjoy the sneak peeks, the warm copy, and that clever stamp-like submit button. This one’s framed, too.
