Almost a year ago we featured a showcase with 50 Inspiring Dark Web Designs and today we decided to gather a new list of dark websites to inspire you. It’s always nice to remember that a dark layout also has it’s beauty, specially when everybody is talking about clean white web designs. So check out some examples of inspiring dark websites and start thinking about giving dark colors a try.

Finding stuff to make your life easier is one of our passions. Whether it be freebies like fonts and icons, or tools to help you do your job, we search and find them so you can focus on the important things. For this post, we’ve found some online tools that are useful for design and development tasks, and the best part is…they’re all free to use.

0 to 255

0 to 255 is a simple tool that helps web designers find variations of any color.

Spritebox

Spritebox is a WYSIWYG tool to help web designers quickly and easily create CSS classes and IDs from a single sprite image. It is based on the principle of using the background-position property to align areas of a sprite image into block elements of a web page. It was made using a combination of JQuery, CSS3 and HTML5, and is totally free to use.

jsFiddle

JsFiddle is a playground for web developers, a tool which may be used in many ways. One can use it as an online editor for snippets build from HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The code can then be shared with others, embedded on a blog, etc.

Frame Box

Frame Box is an easy to use online tool for creating and sharing wireframes.

CSS3 Generator

CSS3 Generator is a simple tool that creates some cross-browser CSS3 code based on whatever values you want.

ProCSSor

ProCSSor is a powerful (and wholly free) CSS prettifier that lets you format CSS in the exact way you want. It empowers you to turn your CSS into something that is visually more compelling, and with a minimum of effort at that.

Super Conversion Button

This little tool let’s you easily create a beautiful, effective call-to-action button in seconds.

wordmark.it

Wordmark.it is a tool that lets you quickly preview how a wordmark looks with the fonts installed on your computer before setting out to find new ones.

Time never stops and so does our life. But still we sometimes find ourselves in some situations where we feel numb, the time stops for that particular moment. A photographer experiences emotions while taking a shot. Taking perfect/awesome pictures is really hard, as you don’t only need perfect timing but have to focus on other aspects like light, saturation etc as well. Here we have tried to collect 40+ beautiful and amazing photography shots from life around us, that would probably inspire you in your design projects.

Boo!

Last week we showcased a list with 25 Excellent Examples of Forms in Web Design and today I’ve decided to gather some examples of subscription forms and buttons to show you. When I was browsing around looking for form examples last week, I found some interesting examples of subscription forms and though you would also like to see them.

I’m the kind of person that tends to subscribe to something when the design is appealing and beautiful. I think it’s a good way of showing your user you care about them and even with such small details you give your best.
