Best Web Gallery Revamped 89
Finding inspiration has always been part of my work and life. I created Best Web Gallery back in 2006 as my personal bookmark tool where I featured the best design on the web. I've featured more than 1700+ sites in the past years. Today I'm happy to announce the redesign. The new design gives the site a huge facelift and more functional.
Upgraded to WordPress 3.2 and Themify
The major upgrade in the backend is the WordPress platform and the theme framework. I upgraded WordPress from version 2.2 which is a 4-year old version to the latest 3.2. The theme back-end is based on the Themify framework.
Multiple Viewing Options
Each post has multiple viewing options:
- click on the thumbnail to visit link in the same window
- click on the comment icon to view the post details
- click on the zoom icon to view link in lightbox
- click on the new window icon to open link in a new window
Lightbox Browsing
Browsing on Best Web Gallery is easier. Featured links can be opened in a lightbox mode and users can use the arrow keys to browse through the gallery without having to switch tabs or go back and forth.
Full Size Screencap
The image screen capture is taken at full size 1200px wide.
Rating System
On top of the new design and platform, I also added a star rating plugin (suggested by many). Now you can rate the site and view the top 2o sites.
Fluid & Responsive
The layout is completely fluid and responsive. It works in any resolution and all major browsers including Internet Explorer. If you are into the responsive design, read my tutorial on how to code a responsive design with media queries.
Welcome Chad Mueller
Lastly, I would like to introduce Chad Mueller of Inspiredology. Chad will be on board and handling the submissions and site management.
Excellent. I love the simplicity of the interface (your own site should be featured!). Love how you can see so many examples in a single frame. Love the star rating system (reminds me of Bridge). I bookmarked it!
looking much better – bookmarked for future use :)

I submitted my website to your best web gallery site. how many days will take for review? thank you
Great Thanks
BWG Created by you! Now I know!
Wow- love it.
Love it! What rating system are you using on this site? Is that Flash?
I really like the design.
Though I would like to see a page transition in some sort of way?
The second thing is that the top 20 consists of the highest rating, but shouldn’t the number of votes also be taken into account? I think that it would make the top 20 more valuable.
just my 2 cents ;)
nice design i like it
I like the look of Themify – might give that a shot at some point.
I’ve come across Thesis before, which seems similar, but doesn’t have the range of ready-to-buy themes that Themify has.
Nice choice for your gallery ;-)
Many Thanks,
Darren.
looks awesome! will give Themify a go!
I think this is one of the best shares in your website. I was looking for this kind of article.
Beautiful,I love the simplicity of the interface too,and I know a software for capturing screen on Mac OS, when you see some nice pictures or a small piece, Onde Screen Capture for Mac is very useful tool for capturing any graphics, if you are interested, you can try Onde Screen Capture for Mac.
clean and concise
