Hey Product Hunt — I’m Mike, founder of Web Design Awards.
I built Web Design Awards because the web design world is full of brilliant agencies, freelancers, studios, SaaS teams, and independent creators doing excellent work, but too much of that work disappears after launch. A great website can drive revenue, sharpen a brand, and become one of the strongest assets a company owns, yet many of the people behind those sites never get the visibility they deserve.
Web Design Awards is a platform for discovering, submitting, and celebrating standout websites from around the world. It is built for designers, developers, agencies, founders, marketers, and anyone who cares about great digital experiences.
The goal is simple: create a high-quality place where exceptional websites can be found, recognized, and used as inspiration by others.
With Web Design Awards, you can:
Submit your website for recognition
Discover beautifully designed websites across industries
Browse inspiration for your next landing page, SaaS site, portfolio, agency site, ecommerce store, or brand refresh
Get visibility for your agency, studio, startup, or personal work
Celebrate the teams behind great design and development
We recently rebranded and relaunched the platform with a stronger visual identity, better submission flow, improved browsing experience, and a clearer focus on showcasing high-quality work.
For launch, we’re also offering 25% off submissions for the next two weeks with code REBRAND.
I’d love your feedback, especially from designers, developers, founders, and agency owners. What would make a platform like this more useful for discovering inspiration, getting visibility, or evaluating great web design?
Thanks for checking it out.

Curation feels tight, way less noise than the usual galleries cluttering my bookmarks. Genuinely curious if the award pages actually help with SEO in practice, since that's the part I'd care about most.
@durupy94 thank you so much! :) we do have a strong domain authority, so it definitely helps. Though it would have a bigger impact for a website in the web design / web dev space more than a field that is more irrelevant.

Curated list feels really thoughtful, not just a popularity contest. The do-follow badge idea is smart for visibility, though I'm curious how strict the judging actually is.
@nihatlajx thanks! :) our judging used to be a little lax, but over the last six months we’ve tightened things up. The score spread is quite small, but it’s tough to get a high score. We also have a lot of great applicants so winning SOTM is difficult.

A permanent indexed award page is a really clever incentive, congrats on the launch. One thing I'd love to see is some kind of agency or studio profile that bundles all the awards a single shop has won, so buyers can quickly see a team's body of work instead of hunting through individual entries.
the curation here actually feels legit, not just whoever paid the most. love that the award pages are real indexed content too, not just a badge that disappears.
The curation feels genuinely thoughtful, not just a flood of trendy submissions. Love that winners get a real indexed page instead of just a badge image.
