43 Decent Dark Websites
Getting into the world of web design and inspiration, you can categorize websites into thousands of different trends, platforms, site elements and the list can go on. Dark websites have always been a popular choice as black is the obvious choice to rebel against all those white websites that crowded the web in the early years. These days, white is used in a lot of more professional, corporate designs, so you could say that black is slightly more creative.
I feel when designing a website with a dark colour scheme, I believe you should be trying to force the content, let the content or portfolio pieces jump out from the site, or to create a soothing, subtle feel about your business. Dark colours are great for design on the web, these 43 examples help support this.
P.S. Inspiredology was featured on Smashing Magazine’s not once but twice in the Best of March 2008 post, the featured posts were “We All Love Typography” and “Cool Web Characters“. I am super hyped about this, Smashing Magazine was one of the first blogs that I started following, and you could say is one of the reason’s why I chose to blog. This is a great honor, Thanks Smashing!!

Great list you have compiled here! I enjoyed looking at it very much. By the way, the sofasurfer link is not working right now, may not be your fault though.
