Since2007
Designs Creme began as a gallery of websites sorted by colour. Nineteen years later it opens its second season, this time as an award with a jury.
Season One
Designs Creme opened in April 2007. It filed every site it featured under the colours the site was made of — beige, black, blue, brown, gray, green, orange, pink, red, violet, white, yellow and the many-coloured — so a visitor could pick a colour and browse.
By December 2007 the gallery showed 354 designs. Visitors rated them with stars and cast 2,080 votes; every month the approved sites competed in a Monthly Design Contest, and the winner got a banner on the gallery for a month.
The archive keeps 276 of those designs with their original pages, colours and ratings, 109 of them with the screenshot of the time, shown at the size it had in 2007.
Season Two
In 2026 Designs Creme returns as a website award. Studios, agencies and freelancers submit a site with its link, a description and screenshots. The editors check every entry; accepted sites go to a closed jury, which scores them on design (40 %), usability (30 %), creativity (20 %) and content (10 %).
The best of them become Site of the Day, Site of the Month and Site of the Year. Each winner gets a page with the jury’s scores, a certificate and a badge for its own site.
