What is Siteinspire?
Siteinspire is a showcase of web design picked by hand since 2008. Its about page says Daniel Howells selects the sites and none of them are sponsored. Each is filed by style, type, subject and platform, and the studios that made them have profiles in its directory.
It’s free, with a weekly email, and open to agents: a read-only MCP server and REST API that need no sign-in.

Why people look for Siteinspire alternatives
- Studios lead. Its largest categories are agencies and consultancies (2,407 sites), typographic (2,105), design and art direction (1,945) and portfolios (1,444), against 890 for e-commerce.
- Whole websites. Each entry is a website. To compare one kind of section across sites, like twenty footers, a library cut into sections is quicker.
- Finding a look. You browse by category and search by words. A look with no category, like “warm and quiet”, is easier to find by describing it.
