25 Kick Ass Purple Portfolio Website Designs
Web designers set themselves apart every day with their own unique style and design. I want to showcase some of those designs who have went left of the normal path numerous trends set (you know the blue/green combo trend!) by designing with a color seldom used in the design community – Purple.
There have been countless round ups of websites with blue designs, brown designs and green designs but I have yet to see an article showcasing the portfolio website designs that brandish the purple color. And you know what they say, purple is the color of royalty – maybe these guys and girls are onto something? :)

These are some great examples of portfolio websites. Very inspirational.

Nice post! A right ‘royal’ round up. I definitely agree that purples are an under used promotional tool/ colour. Sure it works great for those regal branded jobs, but combine with hot pinks and rich backgrounds I think it gives off a ‘take me seriously’ with a contemporary and very stylish tone. I may be slightly biased as I’ve chosen to base my personal creative identity in this way!
I’ll keep ya’ll posted once my site goes ‘live’ next week!..

I love the use of purple in design and all these sites are pull it off so good. Wish more people would adapt purple into their design library.

Well Carl, I just hope you’ll set yourself apart by not having a giant “Hi, my name is totally forgettable and I’m consciously using the most generic and overused landing page copy possible to make myself blend in” header, like half these sites do…

Very nice list. I was particularly impressed with the site from Sarah WU. But you managed to find a really spectacular array of purple. I’m going to have to try one now. Cheers -

Wow, nice to see so many people showing their love for the purp! Glad I’ve already gone purple myself and beaten the bandwagon! ;-)

My blog (http://www.jayphilips.com) and company website (http://www.projectrealms.com) are purple (both use different shades and layouts). I am a true purple lover and glad that others use it so well.

I suppose there is a lack of purple sites as it is a hard colour to work with. You’ve found a good selection of nicely designed purple sites, but I wouldn’t say they are avoiding trends, they all seem fairly similar and follow the same sort of style.
Some good inspiration for purple sites, nonetheless.

Thanks for posting my site!

I’m loving the purple. It’s also awesome to see web typography improving all the time as shown by this selection.
October 28th, 2009
Those are all very nice designs. I agree with the above commenter about the improvement in typography. As a writer, I always love to see well laid out words. The purple colors are beautiful as well. I particularly like the themes for GoodBytes and Purple Rainclouds. As for FullFat, that’s just a great name for a small business, whatever it means!
