Showcase Of 40 Website Designs Featuring Clouds And Skies
Tweet Maybe it’s because we’ve had a not-so-awesome summer here in Montreal but lately I’ve been more and more interested in website designs that make good use of weather elements like clouds, skies, suns, earth, stone, etc… So I figured, why not try to find some of the best designs and start with the ones that feature clouds and skies?
You’ll notice that some of those designs use these elements very subtly while others went all in and based their designs around them. I’d love to know what you think, make sure you leave a comment below! :)

Your Turn To Talk
I’m feeling better already! What do you think of those designs? Do you think it’s a trend that’s here to stay or are people using those elements to differentiate themselves? Does your own website features clouds and skies? Make sure you leave a comment below! :)

Good idea for a list, thanks for that.
A new one for the list…original theme has sky and tree scene: http://www.9thwavedesign.co.uk

Nice collection. Not an altogether obvious design element but it has been put to good use.
September 7th, 2009
Brilliant collection! I really like the idea of using the sky as a header image (I do it on my own site) because for me, sky represents the limit of our imagination: that is, we have no roof top. Thanks for sharing!
September 7th, 2009
another: http://www.petitdog.com.br
September 7th, 2009
Wow great list, i love the style of these kind of sites. my favourites are definitely absolute bica, jps2606 and sej kozlov’s. Bica’s especially because it takes a slightly different angle on sky by not going down the common (lovely) blue route. Thanks for sharing!
September 7th, 2009
Loved Peter Pearson’s site.
My wife made a lovely cloud/sky-esque design for her web portfolio: http://xiaoyingriley.com/
September 7th, 2009
Great collection! To said devjam.nl is not in the list ;)
September 7th, 2009

Great collection. Found another one http://www.teamkleen.com.au/
September 7th, 2009
Good stuff Jon .. some really great ones here! My entire brand is built on the “dynamic” cloud premise, the content of which keeps changing, have a look see :-)
September 8th, 2009
WP FLOAT – http://wpfloat.com – has clouds :) and it’s an inspirational gallery too! talk about 2 birds ;)
September 10th, 2009
Hey Jon, your collection is ok…..but I think I’ve seen better out there. Moreover, most of these designs look very kiddish. Anyways, I found Pojeta and Keithar better than the lot.
September 11th, 2009
Nice roundup!
September 14th, 2009
Another good sky/cloud combo portfolio site http://www.philipspence.com
September 21st, 2009
I don’t normally like sky elements in web pages and i came here full intending on laying into them… But i cant fault a single one of these! They all look great and have completely changed my views on them!
September 24th, 2009
They are cool !
