Don’t most of these sites look just the same? I might be joking :) Anyway, the designs are pretty sleek.

I appreciate this might come off as insolent, but I truly disagree with the title Inspiration: 40 Captivating Bright and Sleek Web Designs . I think it is a awful disgrace to mankind. I reckon you should certainly be more caring next time. Still I have to say, that your writing is exceptional. Kind Regards, Marica Rosencrans

One thing these beautiful designs all seem to have in common is that they all also mostly use gradients and blends in the background. So, you could have also called this, “40 great uses of backgrounds, gradients and fades”. :)
