After showing so much enthusiasm about inspirational light web designs, I thought it would be only fair to bring dark out into the spotlight. Dark web designs, when done right, can be mysterious, elegant, sleek, and professional. Here is a showcase of 30 dark designs that I feel match those criteria. I’ve done my best to feature as diverse of a selection as possible for your benefit. Enjoy!

Another awesome collection though I cannot decide if I like Viget or Rusty Bones the best. While all of them are awesome, I’m really gravitating to those two sites.

You know, Evan Eckard is pretty talented… I think he runs DinPattern and I can’t tell you how many resources I’ve gotten from THAT site. LOL. Nice list. Wish I had seen is sooner!

Wow! Thanks for including Joystik on this list, I’m honoured to be included amongst so many great designs. I’m actually working on a slight redesign at the moment so hopefully they’ll be more examples of work etc going up there over the coming months.
Thanks again.
