Falk Custom Adventures has visual artifacts. Not such a great design afterall.
Cool. I have doubts oabout the efficiency of the design of most of them, but at least they look beautiful.

Thanks for featuring our Tyrrells site, helps when the nature is actually that that surrounds them in a gorgeous part of UK.

Hello
My name is Jae-Yeon I am a student of Design studying in Kingston University, I am currently writing my Dissertation (cringe) and have chosen for my subject – why are people drawn to design inspired by nature -.
I was reading you article 25 Nature-Inspired Website Designs and I found your comments really interesting and informative, you seem to have a great deal of knowledge and understanding on this subject.
I was wondering if you would mind taking the time to answer a couple of questions, I’m sure that your input would be of great assistance, as I have already been inspired by reading your blog.
1. why in your opinion are people so drawn to design inspired by nature?
2. Do you think there are psychological benefits to design inspired by nature, and what do you think they are?
Thank-you in advance for taking the time to read my email, I do hope that you might be able to find a little spare time to answer my questions, I realise of course the responses may be quite leghtly, bu thanks again anyway.
Kindest regards
Jae-Yeon Kwak
Jae Yeon Kwak,
I’m not sure how much help I can be on those questions, I certainly don’t know much about psychology and why things impact people. From a design perspective, I’d say that people are drawn to nature-inspired design because it stands out as being different, and because it is often colorful and image-based, making it very pleasant to the eye. For your second question, I would say that the benefits depend on the type of website. If it is some type of “green” or environmental company the benefits would include branding and helping the visitor to visualize the “greenness” of the company.
Thanks for this list pal. I like PADI a lot!
I am inspired by nature in my life because I live on a farm with cows and horses. So naturally nature is a large influence on my life and art. But for some reason I cannot make website designs with a natural look like the ones in this list. And the fact that wordpress templates are so plentiful it is hard to get the motivation to design your own web deisgn from the ground up. For example, my cards website ( http://make-your-own-card.com ) uses a wordpress template and I have only changed the colour of the title headings some icons. It is so easy to do minimal work on website design when there are templates ou can use so easily.
Great collection! Nature is so inspiring to me. It is nice to see that so many others are inspired by it as well.
Very beautiful, thank you!
yeah,those themes are very cool.
I always want to create more creativenesses in my all designs. I really appreciate your design indeed. Very inspirational. People have to be more creative and innovative to explain their particular designs. Keep it up
