30+ Creative Designed Magazine Websites

These days, it has become quite normal to come across magazine websites while browsing on the internet. Online magazines are very popular just like their close relatives made ​​of paper. Magazine websites are different from blogs and other types of websites and I find it interesting to find creative and innovative examples.

Magazine websites usually come face to face with the challenge of displaying plenty of content while maintaining good appearance. However, creating a well designed website can be a very hard undertaking. You have to ensure that it will look good while featuring plenty of content and allowing good usability. Thus, designers often take inspiration from the offline magazine layouts and designs. A lot of principles employed in designing a paper magazine can be transferred to web design easily. Some are quite obvious while others can be easily overlooked.

Magazine websites need to provide a user experience and style that meets advertiser and reader expectations, regardless of the presence or quality of print magazines. They often use appealing headlines and lots of engaging images on the front page supported by cool slider features, review systems and breaking news header bars.

Magazine web design defines modern publication style and also presents the publication digitally to a potentially wider audience than print magazines.
