Lately I’ve noticed a large number of CSS design galleries popping up. Either they’re a great new thing to create, or I just happen to be stumbling upon them more and more. Whatever the case, I find myself drawn back to the better ones again and again in search of ideas, inspiration, solutions to problems, etc. Many sites within the collections repeat, but a great site is a great site, so that’s to be expected.

This collection is my faves of the bunch in a nice little list so I can quickly find them as I go back again and again.

Design Meltdown
Love the mouseover screenshot enlargements. Pretty broad range of categories.

Daily Slurp
Great sites daily.

Smashing Magazine
Great design collections here.

CSS Elite
Purty, with nice sized screenshots and basic categories.

CSS Mania
No frills layout with good sized screenshots and basic categories.

CSS Remix
Incredible quantity of sites. Smallish screenshots, but with ratings. Not sure about categories here.

Design Snack
Touts itself as a design showcase controlled by users. Nice sized screenshots and ratings.

CSS Bloom
Great, large screen grabs, tag based system.

I’m sure I am forgetting a few many others, and I guess I’ll update this when I uncover which favorites are missing.
