Let’s face it, being a designer in 2025 is like being a magician — you’re expected to pull amazing designs out of your hat every single day. But even the best magicians have their tricks, and for designers, those tricks are websites that inspire, educate, and make life a whole lot easier.

Here’s the ultimate list of must-know websites for designers this year. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, these gems will keep your creative juices flowing (and maybe save you a meltdown or two).

1. TypeScale

Ever stared at your design and thought, “Why does this typography feel…off?” Enter TypeScale. This lifesaver helps you create balanced typography scales in seconds. Experiment with font sizes, line heights, and see how your text flows like poetry. Because bad typography is a crime, and we’re not about to get arrested.

2. Grainients

You’ve heard of gradients, but have you met their cooler cousin, Grainients? With over 1000 high-quality textured and smooth gradient backgrounds, your designs will go from “meh” to “whoa” in no time. Pro tip: Use these to make your client think you spent hours crafting the perfect background.

3. Navbar.Gallery

Navbar.Gallery is a curated collection of stunning navbars from across the web. Whether you need a sleek minimalist look or a bold and playful vibe, this site has you covered. Bonus: You’ll finally have something to show your client when they ask, “Can we make it pop?”

With free shapes and weekly updates, you’ll never run out of ideas to make your work stand out. Plus, it’s so fun to use, you might forget you’re working.

A good hero section can make or break a website, and Supahero.io knows it. This site provides a curated library of gorgeous website hero sections to inspire your next big project. From clean and simple to bold and eye-catching, it’s like a buffet of ideas — minus the food coma.
