Today we are going to showcase 40 beautiful dark website designs. We’ve previously wrote about dark minimalist designs & dark website designs so we’re no strangers to killer dark website designs.
There are a lot of cool designs that are professional and portray the skill levels of the designers and they don’t have to be the clean, white background, minimalist design that many business websites seem to go for (though we absolutely love the clean and minimalist style). So, below are 40 beautiful dark website designs for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

November 24, 2009 at 9:21 amAccording to “http://www.blackle.com/” its better on the environment if websites used less white space. But I am not to sure I am sold on the ideas, while sites like apple.com look so beautiful with all of its white space I find it difficult to seeing a website look good walking on the dark side.
But this round up of inspirada, here proves that the concept has potential…

December 9, 2009 at 11:50 amGood article. I second Arun about thinklive (and no, I have nothing to do with them lol).
My two favorite dark designs recently, both simple, minimalistic and monochromatically dark:
http://www.blackestate.co.nz/ (a New Zealand vineyard)
http://codep-help.co.cc/ (info and help for women abused by narcissists and sex-addicts)
More dark designs! ;-)
