2024 has seen an explosion in AI-powered tools and services, some genuinely helpful, others simply bandwagon jumping. It is clear that, with or without AI, the things designers and developers find most useful haven’t fundamentally changed: good quality design resources to make good work; productivity tools to get that work done faster; and business helpers to get the job in the first place, and get paid for it while maybe having a little fun along the way.

Welcome to November’s new sites collection. Minimalism continues to be a dominant trend among well designed websites, but it is clear that minimal does not mean visually dull. Minimalist design can incorporate color, animation, and even decorative fonts, as long as restraint is exercised. On the other hand, a strong site architecture with a clear and robust structure can convey a sense of simplicity, even if the visual design is more elaborate.

Welcome to October’s collection of sites we like - we hope you’ll like them too. Something we’re seeing more and more of is the ‘customizable’ site. Most often, this means a button to swap between dark and light themes, but the options are starting to get increasingly sophisticated.
In this set, we have dark and light options, images and text-only options, color changes, whole theme change options, a custom text option, and even image editing options.

Touchable texture, distinct grids, and two-column designs are some of the most trending website design elements of November 2024. It’s hard to believe the end of the year is right around the corner. That isn’t stopping website designers from trying new things to keep things interesting as we begin to close out 2024, though.
