14 Fantastic Websites You Didn’t Know Were Built with WordPress
It’s not always easy to find out which platform or technology powers a website or an application. WordPress, for instance, has so many great features that it’s hard to imagine all the possibilities it offers. Therefore, in this collection, I’ll show you 14 websites you probably didn’t realize were actually built with WordPress.
Let’s get inspired by the beautiful designs and amazing websites that were created with WordPress.
01. Tobias van Schneider’s Desk
Tobias is a pretty well known and greatly respected designer. For a long time, he has been sharing insightful articles about design theories, career, and more.
Today, these articles are available on his website that looks really good. I especially like the personal style of the design. It clearly shows that WordPress design doesn’t have to follow a cookie cutter approach at all.
02. Icon 54
Icon 54 is a large icon repository that sells all sorts of high-quality icons. The most interesting thing about their website is that it’s mainly black and white which is a huge plus for accessibility.
They use a great layout with well-formatted sections for different content types. Their typeface choices were excellent, too. I love the big and bold headings they use throughout the design. Most importantly, the site is built with WordPress as well.
03. Antenne Books
Antenne Books is an independent publishers’ distributor. They sell all sorts of beautiful books published by a variety of authors on numerous topics.
Not only the books they are selling are presented well, their website design is also fantastic. Unlike most bookselling websites nowadays, it’s quite colorful and bold. It’s an awesome example of what is possible when you get creative with your design. WordPress is a flexible and easily customizable platform. This is just one example of the possibilities you can achieve with WordPress.
04. Les Partisanes
When I first landed on Les Partisanes, I was immediately impressed. The design is simple and clean. It’s calm, nice, and inviting. I like that there is so little clutter if any at all. I also like the subtle animations that appear as you scroll down the home page. They are shown only once, not every time you scroll up and down, which is a really nice design detail.
05. Moment Lens
This is a place for mobile photography lovers. Moment Lens is a small add-on lens for your mobile phone. It aims to improve the capabilities of your camera on the go. It’s a neat little gadget. They also sell phone accessories such as cases, straps, and lens caps.
The design is clean which is a perfect solution when you’re trying to sell a quality product. Their lenses and accessories fall into the premium category, so they need to persuade prospects. I like their no-frills product pages; it’s direct and clear. Again, this elegant website was built with WordPress.b
6.?Vers
Vers sells beautifully crafted speakers, both from a design and an engineering perspective. The company believes in high-quality design, therefore they use outstanding materials such as gorgeous reclaimed wood. The website of Vers is beautiful as well.
You can clearly get a sense of their craftsmanship from the way they talk about their products. They focus on the materials they use, the users’ experience with the speakers, and the quality of the audio sound. It’s not a complicated website but works very well to get their message across.
7.?ALLT
ALLT sells amazing and stunning home items. They sell small items such as stone rings made of granite or quartz. However, they also sell bigger furniture pieces such as tiled carpet sets. Some of their small kitchen accessories are fantastic, for instance their bamboo and granite cutting boards.
The quality of their product design is phenomenal as well. ALLT clearly has an eye for aesthetics. The website is very light and the photography is super elegant. This website design shows that you can use WordPress to build something stunning and easy on the eye without much problem.
8.?Cereal
Cereal is a printed magazine that explores the most amazing and elegant places, people, and things around the world by pairing photography with stories.
Each of their magazines is beautifully designed. Cereal is built with WordPress, of course. Their website is actually pretty minimal. Just like in their printed magazine, they are letting the photographs do the talking. The use a lot of light colors and shades on their website.
9.?Ink+Volt
Ink+Volt sells notebooks that help people set, plan, and track their goals. Their website uses several small design details that bring their products to life.
The simplest things can make for a good design. In the case of Ink+Volt, it’s their hover states, labels over the images, and the microcopy. For instance, “Customer high fives” instead of “What our customers have to say about us” is so much more pleasant. Although copywriting has little to do with the platform your site runs on, it’s still an important thing that can add a lot to the user experience.
10.?Grovemade
Grovemade sells wooden desk accessories. Their website focuses on showing off the craftsmanship of their products. The website uses little color. It’s mostly white, gray, and black. However, it’s also filled with many close-up photos of their accessories.
It shows off the little details of their amazing creations. The website uses a straightforward layout. It’s really nothing fancy but it still looks great! This is another example of a fantastic WordPress site with a simple but powerful design.
11.?Ugmonk
Ugmonk was created eight years ago by a web designer who had a side hobby. The company mainly sells T-shirts but they have other apparel items and accessories, too.
The website design is really good. Most notably, the design feels spacious, as there is plenty of space between the elements and the photos are large as well. The site also uses larger fonts than most websites. It feels quite easy to browse through Ugmonk’s catalog.
12.?Wooden Dot
I don’t know what it is about wooden products that yield beautiful websites. But, here is one more example. I enjoy Wooden Dot’s website design because it’s pretty simple at first glance.
Then, you notice the little details that make the design creative. For instance, the gifs of product images. For instance, they show how you’d open a coffee table. It’s not something you see every day, especially on a home page. Again, this has little to do with the fact the website is built with WordPress. But, it clearly proves how little design details can make a design interesting and unique.
13.?Molly & Me Pecans
In all honesty, this website is nothing special. Compared to some examples on this list, it doesn’t stand out too much. The reason I’m including it is to show you an example of a regular but high-converting company site. It’s easy to make a design like this with WordPress. Not every website needs to be high-end, sleek, and ultra-modern after all.
This website does a great job explaining what Molly & Me Pecans sells. Displaying photos of their beautiful package design is a great way to hook people in. In this example, a little can go a long way for a small business that needs some online exposure.
14.?Form.
Form. is a big repository of office furniture with lights, chairs, desks, and even cabinets. I enjoy this website because their products page is phenomenal. It feels like it has no end, as I scrolled in awe for 10 minutes and more and more products kept popping up.
Some items are displayed in a square-shaped box, while others in a horizontal rectangle. The photos feature only the item against the same light gray background. On hover, the products are shown in different colors and their names appear on the screen as well. It’s a fun website with a lot of good-looking furniture pieces.
Conclusion
There are so many different things you can design and build with WordPress. It all boils down to your imagination. Don’t let the framework or platform limit you.

That again was no use: he but got another smile and a friendly look of the sort he no longer wanted. I said I thought I could gallop if Harry could, and in a few minutes we were up with the ambulance. It had stopped. There were several men about it, including Sergeant Jim and Kendall, which two had come from Quinn, and having just been in the ambulance, at Ferry's side, were now remounting, both of them openly in tears. "Hello, Kendall." We have this great advantage in dealing with Plato—that his philosophical writings have come down to us entire, while the thinkers who preceded him are known only through fragments and second-hand reports. Nor is the difference merely accidental. Plato was the creator of speculative literature, properly so called: he was the first and also the greatest artist that ever clothed abstract thought in language of appropriate majesty and splendour; and it is probably to their beauty of form that we owe the preservation of his writings. Rather unfortunately, however, along with the genuine works of the master, a certain number of pieces have been handed down to us under his name, of which some are almost universally admitted to be spurious, while the authenticity of others is a question on which the best scholars are still divided. In the absence of any very cogent external evidence, an immense amount of industry and learning has been expended on this subject, and the arguments employed on both sides sometimes make us doubt whether the reasoning powers of philologists are better developed than, according to Plato, were those of mathematicians in his time. The176 two extreme positions are occupied by Grote, who accepts the whole Alexandrian canon, and Krohn, who admits nothing but the Republic;115 while much more serious critics, such as Schaarschmidt, reject along with a mass of worthless compositions several Dialogues almost equal in interest and importance to those whose authenticity has never been doubted. The great historian of Greece seems to have been rather undiscriminating both in his scepticism and in his belief; and the exclusive importance which he attributed to contemporary testimony, or to what passed for such with him, may have unduly biassed his judgment in both directions. As it happens, the authority of the canon is much weaker than Grote imagined; but even granting his extreme contention, our view of Plato’s philosophy would not be seriously affected by it, for the pieces which are rejected by all other critics have no speculative importance whatever. The case would be far different were we to agree with those who impugn the genuineness of the Parmenides, the Sophist, the Statesman, the Philêbus, and the Laws; for these compositions mark a new departure in Platonism amounting to a complete transformation of its fundamental principles, which indeed is one of the reasons why their authenticity has been denied. Apart, however, from the numerous evidences of Platonic authorship furnished by the Dialogues themselves, as well as by the indirect references to them in Aristotle’s writings, it seems utterly incredible that a thinker scarcely, if at all, inferior to the master himself—as the supposed imitator must assuredly have been—should have consented to let his reasonings pass current under a false name, and that, too, the name of one whose teaching he in some respects controverted; while there is a further difficulty in assuming that his existence could pass unnoticed at a period marked by intense literary and philosophical activity. Readers who177 wish for fuller information on the subject will find in Zeller’s pages a careful and lucid digest of the whole controversy leading to a moderately conservative conclusion. Others will doubtless be content to accept Prof. Jowett’s verdict, that ‘on the whole not a sixteenth part of the writings which pass under the name of Plato, if we exclude the works rejected by the ancients themselves, can be fairly doubted by those who are willing to allow that a considerable change and growth may have taken place in his philosophy.’116 To which we may add that the Platonic dialogues, whether the work of one or more hands, and however widely differing among themselves, together represent a single phase of thought, and are appropriately studied as a connected series. Before entering on our task, one more difficulty remains to be noticed. Plato, although the greatest master of prose composition that ever lived, and for his time a remarkably voluminous author, cherished a strong dislike for books, and even affected to regret that the art of writing had ever been invented. A man, he said, might amuse himself by putting down his ideas on paper, and might even find written178 memoranda useful for private reference, but the only instruction worth speaking of was conveyed by oral communication, which made it possible for objections unforeseen by the teacher to be freely urged and answered.117 Such had been the method of Socrates, and such was doubtless the practice of Plato himself whenever it was possible for him to set forth his philosophy by word of mouth. It has been supposed, for this reason, that the great writer did not take his own books in earnest, and wished them to be regarded as no more than the elegant recreations of a leisure hour, while his deeper and more serious thoughts were reserved for lectures and conversations, of which, beyond a few allusions in Aristotle, every record has perished. That such, however, was not the case, may be easily shown. In the first place it is evident, from the extreme pains taken by Plato to throw his philosophical expositions into conversational form, that he did not despair of providing a literary substitute for spoken dialogue. Secondly, it is a strong confirmation of this theory that Aristotle, a personal friend and pupil of Plato during many years, should so frequently refer to the Dialogues as authoritative evidences of his master’s opinions on the most important topics. And, lastly, if it can be shown that the documents in question do actually embody a comprehensive and connected view of life and of the world, we shall feel satisfied that the oral teaching of Plato, had it been preserved, would not modify in any material degree the impression conveyed by his written compositions. breakfast in the kitchen by candle-light, and then drove the five The bargaining was interminable, something in this manner:— Then follows a long discussion in Hindi with the bystanders, who always escort a foreigner in a mob, ending in the question— There was a bright I. D. blanket spread on the ground a little way back from the fire, and she threw herself down upon it. All that was picturesque in his memories of history flashed back to Cairness, as he took his place beside Landor on the log and looked at her. Boadicea might have sat so in the depths of the Icenean forests, in the light of the torches of the Druids. So the Babylonian queen might have rested in the midst of her victorious armies, or she of Palmyra, after the lion hunt in the deserts of Syria. Her eyes, red lighted beneath the shadowing lashes, met his. Then she glanced away into the blackness of the pine forest, and calling her dog to lie down beside her, stroked its silky red head. The retreat was made, and the men found themselves again in the morning on the bleak, black heath of Drummossie, hungry and worn out, yet in expectation of a battle. There was yet time to do the only wise thing—retreat into the mountains, and depend upon a guerilla warfare, in which they would have the decided advantage. Lord George Murray now earnestly proposed this, but in vain. Sir Thomas Sheridan and other officers from France grew outrageous at that proposal, contending that they could easily beat the English, as they had done at Prestonpans and Falkirk—forgetting that the Highlanders then were full of vigour and spirit. Unfortunately, Charles listened to this foolish reasoning, and the fatal die was cast. "They said they were going for our breakfast," said Harry. "And I hope it's true, for I'm hungrier'n a rip-saw. But I could put off breakfast for awhile, if they'd only bring us our guns. I hope they'll be nice Springfield rifles that'll kill a man at a mile." "Dod durn it," blubbered Pete, "I ain't cryin' bekase Pm skeered. I'm cryin' bekase I'm afeared you'll lose me. I know durned well you'll lose me yit, with all this foolin' around." He came nearly every night. If she was not at the gate he would whistle a few bars of "Rio Bay," and she would steal out as soon as she could do so without rousing suspicion. Boarzell became theirs, their accomplice in some subtle, beautiful way. There was a little hollow on the western slope where they would crouch together and sniff the apricot scent of the gorse, which was ever afterwards to be the remembrancer of their love, and watch the farmhouse lights at Castweasel gleam and gutter beside Ramstile woods. "Yes, De Boteler," continued the lady, "I will write to him, and try to soothe his humour. You think it a humiliation—I would humble myself to the meanest serf that tills your land, could I learn the fate of my child. The abbot may have power to draw from this monk what he would conceal from us; I will at least make the experiment." The lady then, though much against De Boteler's wish, penned an epistle to the abbot, in which concession and apologies were made, and a strong invitation conveyed, that he would honour Sudley castle by his presence. The parchment was then folded, and dispatched to the abbot. "A very pretty method, truly! You know not the miners and forgers of Dean Forest!—why I would stake a noble to a silver-penny, that if you had discovered he was hidden there, and legally demanded him, he would be popped down in a bucket, to the bottom of some mine, where, even the art of Master Calverley could not have dragged him to the light of day until the Forest was clear of the pack:—but, however, to speak to the point," perceiving that the steward's patience was well nigh exhausted—"I saw Stephen Holgrave yesterday, in the Forest."
