14 of the Most Useful Web Design Blogs
There is definitely not a shortage of web design blogs floating around the web, and it’s easy to understand why. Web designers can utilize skills that they already have to get a good looking blog up and running with relative ease. Out of these blogs there are a handful that really stand out in terms of useful content.
Here are some of the most useful web design blogs out there. I’ve excluded big blogs like Smashing Magazine and A List Apart, since most web designers, more than likely, already follow them.
Noupe
Six Revisions
Vandelay Design Blog
We Function
Just Creative Design
Fuel Your Creativity
Dev Lounge
Outlaw Design Blog
CSS Tricks
Blog.SpoonGraphics
DesignM.ag
Woork
Web Resources Depot
Web Designer Wall

Cheers for the heads up! Also worth checking is http://www.nettuts.com/ for sure…
Aug 5, 2008
Mine may not be one of the top 14, but it is still pretty useful dtsn.
Great Article, I always need more feeds to add to me OPML file.
Aug 6, 2008
some great web resources thanks!
Aug 6, 2008
Thank you for the listing of Just Creative Design! Amongst great company!
Aug 6, 2008
Nice list but what’s about smashingmagazine?
Aug 6, 2008
nice compilation Henry!!!.you can also check http://naldzgraphics.com for some interesting things.
Aug 6, 2008
Great resource list – I’d not seen WebDesignWall before and that looks brilliant, as does Devlounge and Vandelay.
Aug 6, 2008
Thanks for the mention Henry. I would second the recommendation for NETTUTS, but I agree with all of your selections.
Aug 6, 2008
Thanks, I only knew one of them. Very useful!
Aug 6, 2008
@Lennart – I mentioned in the second paragraph that I intentionally left out Smashing Magazine. I think it is an amazing site, but feel that most people already know about it.
Aug 6, 2008
Great Selection Thanks, DevLounge is the only one that I din’t read
Aug 6, 2008
Thanks for the support and the mention, means a lot.
Aug 6, 2008
@liam – You’re quite welcome. Your blog is not only beautiful, but there is already lots of awesome content. Keep up the great work.
Aug 6, 2008
Wow great list – and I really appreciate the mention! I’m with Liam on this one, it really does mean a lot and I think the design community really truly supports each other which is a great feeling.
Aug 6, 2008
Henry – Thanks for including Six Revisions! If I were to make a list, yours would be included up there.
I really love liam’s design, I’ve been bugging him on Twitter about it: http://twitter.com/jggube/statuses/877697765
Aug 6, 2008
Thanks for the shout-out =)
I love the consistently useful stuff around here as well.
Aug 6, 2008
Some awesome sites listed here – love sixrevisions… Suprised to see smashingmagazine not making the list as they always bring the thunder!
Aug 6, 2008
@Jacob Gube – I don’t think it really counts as bugging someone when they Smile each time they are “bugged” Thanks for the love spreading!
Aug 6, 2008
Always the same sites…
Aug 7, 2008
Another web design and development related blog is http://www.smashingapps.com
Anyway, the list is good.
Aug 7, 2008
Question: When someone puts up a list like this, why don’t they put up a XML file that I can import to my reader to subscribe to all of them?
Aug 7, 2008
Hey cool list!!
Can’t believe http://www.SmashingMagazine.com is not listed! it’s at least top 5!
Aug 7, 2008
Sorry.. Just saw your 2nd paragraph
Aug 7, 2008
Thanks for including WebResourcesDepot.
I follow & find the content in Design Reviver very nice too.
Aug 7, 2008
Does any of those have SVG?
Aug 7, 2008
I don’t understand.
Aug 7, 2008
I do *NOT* second the nettuts recommendation.
IMO, it’s a tutorial site written by noobs for noobs. I’m yet to encounter an article on nettuts that’s actually written by people that know what they’re talking about.
As for the Woork site, I agree it’s a fun and interesting read. Although, I have a problem with that site too, namely that Antonio go about his code examples in the wrong way by not paying any attention to semantics and graceful degradation.
I’ve tried contacting Antionio about it through the comments section but apparently he’s not too keen on constructive critisism as he’s yet to accept any of the comments.
Aug 7, 2008
I’d vote for smashingmagazine.com also. One of te best out there !
Aug 7, 2008
YWDA.org is a site for young web developers although i think they have just openend so not alot there yet
Aug 7, 2008
You forgotten two websites:
namely smashingmagazine.com and designreviver.com
cheers
Aug 7, 2008
Guys, stop requesting Smashing Magazine already. Yes, it’s more than great but if you bother to RTFA, you’ll see that it says:
“I’ve excluded big blogs like Smashing Magazine and A List Apart, since most web designers, more than likely, already follow them.”
Aug 7, 2008
The Footer of css-tricks.com is very nice.
Great collection
Aug 7, 2008
It would help if you’d include a few sentences on just why you think each of these is useful.
Aug 7, 2008
I’ve shared a Netvibes Universe where you can find many of the most useful sites and blogs for web designers.

No doubt an excellent list…but I find its always a good idea to keep looking for new blogs popping up. Its nice to get a fresh take on topics (or even stumble across new ones) every once in a while.
Even though you may have to wade through some inferior blogs before you come across one that appeals to you.
