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! :)

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! :)
great selection here, i’d add 1 more i was browsing the other day, http://www.skyrill.com
great selection once again ;)
Awesome collection and very inspirational :)
I think nowadays clouds are a nice design element, cool trend!
@Aya @RootKid: Thanks! Glad you liked the post! Skyrill looks pretty sweet, definitely worthy of a mention! :)
Nice list ;)
Very inspirational post Jon.
A website I made not too long ago I think fits into this category perfectly, so here’s my shameless plug: http://www.dingocode.com :)
We to. Our website is call “cloud23” in english ;-)
Hey, you missed one!
…. http://ecosimply.com …
:-)

My website(www.imicreation.com) is listed in many css galleries, it has skies and clouds so i think it could be fit for this selection. Anyways great selections.
Thanks for sharing!!
Another one: http://www.thesquadnews.com

Dude – you didn’t even add in GUERRILLA !!!! what is wrong with you? I thought we were friends :(
haha. nice list though. There’s about 5-6 I haven’t seen before.
Twitter?
My own Blog site is cloudified too http://www.cocoonmedia.co.uk
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.
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!
another: http://www.petitdog.com.br
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!
Loved Peter Pearson’s site.
My wife made a lovely cloud/sky-esque design for her web portfolio: http://xiaoyingriley.com/
Great collection! To said devjam.nl is not in the list ;)
Tori’s Eye deserves a mention…
http://toriseye.quodis.com/
:D
Great collection. Found another one http://www.teamkleen.com.au/
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 :-)
WP FLOAT – http://wpfloat.com – has clouds :) and it’s an inspirational gallery too! talk about 2 birds ;)
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.
Nice roundup!
Another good sky/cloud combo portfolio site http://www.philipspence.com
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!
They are cool !
