Web design trends change with the wind – what is popular this year will undoubtedly not be popular next year. There is only one web design style that you can rely on and be deemed timeless – and that is the Vintage style. And alongside that, and similar in style, there is the permanently cool and always creative – retro(ism).

Vintage and retro should not be categorized as a style – they are much more than that. They are a movement in themselves and a bold and creative statement that is unparalleled with any other other web design style.

This article is a homage to these styles…

    I love these retro and vintage designed websites! This post is a great resource. I went for the vintage look with my portfolio website. http://www.ollicedesign.com
    I have big plans to get my site up to the level of these guys.

    This is the best one that I have evre seen. I mean all the pages are so wonderfully and artistically done that selecting 1 or 2 or even the best 10 is a daunting task.

    Great collection

    It is amazing how a list of vintage websites like this just allows you time and space to come up with new designs yourself; I guess that the saying ‘imitation is the best form of flattery’ holds true.
