Retro web design is great. I need to try one sometime. Great collection, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing those lovely retro designs, I can’t get enough retro.
Wow, love this collection! Thanks for posting, gave me some great ideas for a re-design!
These are fantastic! It’s great to see a variation of retro designs that are still being produced. All too often these days, designers are keen to push the modern and simplistic designs and forget that old can be stylish.
What’s also interesting is seeing the varied uses for the retro design. They aren’t all simply for old sweet shops or bakeries, but also for designers and depots which you wouldn’t expect.
I have to admit that I too am guilty of perhaps being as modern as possible with my designs, never really taking into consideration older styles. Rest assured that now I’ve read this blog and seen the examples, I’ll be taking some of these ideas forward into any future work I do!
Great collection!! Really i want more..
You really should add The Art Of Nonconformity, the blog of Chris Guillebeau. It’s a really beautiful and crazily popular blog – and it also is a very good example of the retro design.
Great collection here, Visual Republic is amazing. Good to see it showcased here.
Great list of vintage websites!
These look soo funky and professional. Designs like these are great for restaurants.
It’s more some sort of modern retro which I totatlly love!
I totally love this style, thanks for the inspiration, I need to redo my site 🙂
Retro will never die. (atleast I hope so hehe)
Thanks for sharing!
They are so good looking and so original! I think that this style will be great for wine or antique shop.
Many of these are not just great web designs… they are great advertising pieces. Effective advertising techniques — strong headlines, compelling images and punchy copy — is another one of those things that’s sadly becoming “retro.” Kudos to sites like adpacks, eightytwodesign and foreverheavy for bringing the complete package.
Really found this a well written article! Most of the stuff mentioned is my world to a tea! I found another solution I tought my girlfriend all the stuff that I call a “chore” e.g SEO, copywriting dealing with finances. Which lets me design and build to my hearts content 🙂 Plus she seems to love all that 🙂
This will make you satisfied with the headphones provided, and share with you.
Some real nice designs here.
Awesome styles and designs!!!!
