Modern web-designs are, normally, very frequent in the 21st century. Web-designers and developers tend to create their web-site so that it is colorful, flashy and futuristic looking in order to attract the viewer’s attention and to keep him or her browsing for as long a period of time as possible. This is a good approach, no doubt, but, on the other hand, sometimes, some people chose to go with a design that is a mimic of a design that dates back a long period of time in order to make the web-page have a vintage look to it. If it is done with taste, this type of design can do wonders for your web-site and therefore your business, whether you are a company owner, or a web-designer. In some cases, a vintage looking web-site ends up being even better looking than a contemporary one.

The following article provides examples of different web-sites where the designers and developers chose a vintage sort of approach for their design:

  1. Sensisoft (http://www.sensisoft.com/)

 Vintage Web Design 1

I have chosen this web-site because it very much proves my point. The designers and developers of this web-page have used various themes from various periods in time. Check it out to see how the theme is designed in correspondence to the historical period represented. If you have a low internet connection it might take some time for the pages to load, but, believe me, when they do, it will be worth your while. While you browse through it, the background shifts from the theme shown in the picture above, to a very futuristic looking theme, through a number of periods represented both elegantly and brilliantly. You should go through it in order to get a number of interesting ideas for your web-site, if you are a web-designer or developer. When this site is loading there is a text that states: “Join us on a journey through time…”, and that’s exactly what the visitor will be doing while browsing through it.

  1. Target Scope (http://www.targetscope.com/)

Vintage Web Design 2

This web site has a World War theme, and this sort of design can be used for a great number of purposes. The company advertised on the site is actually a company that deals with providing marketing services to traditional companies, but with modern technology, so you can see why they have chosen to have this sort of theme used for the design of their web-site. Nevertheless, may companies can consider using this sort of theme because, when used properly, it can have a very positive effect on the viewer. I advise you to give it a browse, in order to see what I mean more clearly. The World War era is undoubtedly a very important historical event, and because of it many things are the way they are nowadays, so, logically, a World War theme can be used to represent a great number of things.

  1. Media Ambassador (http://www.mediaambassador.pl/)

Vintage Web Design 3

I have chosen to present this web-site because I just want to show how cool can a classic 30’s and 40’s detective comic looking theme be. These sorts of comics are thought to have influenced the production of most of what we watch on TV today, so you can deduce that this theme is a very popular kind of theme even nowadays. For this reason, it can be a very good choice to use it. This will bring style, elegance and a sort of mystique to your web site.

  1. Dollar Dreadful (http://www.dollardreadful.com/)

Vintage Web Design 4

This page shows how a classic old newspaper theme can be simply used to improve the look of your web-site. For example, imagine a old newspaper looking blog, where post are represented as news bulletins, or articles. This is just one of the possible ideas. This kind of design is very user friendly, and everything can easily be read and examined, so it can, actually, be used for any sort of informative purposes. Check it out to search for ideas.

To sum up, these 4 examples, in my opinion, state that a vintage design can be used by many web-site designers. It is a good way of standing out from the rest of the competition. Today, in most cases, a good web-design is one of the most important advertising tools for any sort of business. So, it is very important.
