We are going to be taking a look at different design styles in addition to color schemes. Today we select 10 websites that use curves and rounded corners to great effect …
Expression Engine – The recently redesigned EE site is an excellent example of a clean corporate site with sleek curves
Crazy Egg – Sleek and smooth with subtle rounded corners and drop shadows
Teetonic – Loads of rounded corners really make this Tshirt site appealing and easy on the eye
phpBB – With the release of version 3 of the forum software phpBB, they introduced a new theme called Prosilver, its one of the best forum skins I’ve ever seen. Curved loveliness.
Bartelme Design – Recently redesigned blog and portfolio of the Austrian design agency
Alex Buga – Personal portfolio of Alex Buga
Orion – Lots of overlapping curves and rounded corners
Chow – Some rounded corners combined with straight lines works well here
Great Expectations Church – Well thought-out clean design that displays the content well
Apple – King of the curves, every element on here makes use of rounded corners
Nice list!
great selection.
It is nice to see the trend of rounded corner is spreading! I have somehow gotten into the habit of using rounded corners on elements on the pages of the last several websites I designed. It’s fun and makes things look more stylish!

Yeah, its not for every site but they appeal to me a lot.
wow – these are really cool. I like the PHP theme. I think the trend towards curved corners is good because it makes things more fun and thats how the web should be!!
