20 Web Design Concepts That’ll Blow Your Mind

Creating an effective and exciting experience is a crucial part of the success of any website design. With HTML5 it is now possible to add dynamic interactions to websites and make them come alive. In today’s collection, I’d like to share the 20 coolest web design concepts found on the Web.

In this list, you’ll see website designs that are out of the ordinary and almost wildly experimental. Some sites will take you through cinematic video experiences, others have 360° views that allow interaction, and more come with amazing visual and sound effects triggered with clicks, drags and hovers, unusual navigation, etc.

These sites all step out of the box to create something really special but in order to experience what has been built, you have to visit the sites yourself.
