I kept struggling to find website inspiration by color… so I built this

Most platforms are organized by categories like SaaS, portfolio, landing pages. Useful, but not how I actually design.

When I sit down to design something, I usually don’t start with a category. I start with a visual direction. Most of the time, it’s color.

I know the vibe I want. Blue and minimal. Or something bold with strong contrast. But finding references that match that feeling takes way too much time.

That small frustration stayed with me for a while.

So I started building something for myself.

A simple way to explore real websites based on color and industry instead of digging through endless categories.

That’s how Webzooo started.

At first, it was just me manually curating websites, extracting primary colors, and trying to organize things in a way that actually made sense visually.

No automation. No shortcuts. Just trying to keep quality high.

Then I shared it on Reddit.

I wasn’t expecting much, but the response was honestly surprising. Thousands of views, a lot of comments, and real conversations from designers who think the same way.

That was the moment it clicked for me.

This isn’t just my problem.

Since then, I’ve been improving it step by step.

Still early. Still figuring things out. Especially around:

• making color filtering more accurate

• keeping curation quality high

• scaling without losing simplicity

Recently, I also launched it on Product Hunt and Peerlist to get more feedback from builders and designers.

If you’re someone who thinks in color while designing, I’d genuinely love to hear how you approach inspiration.

What’s your process?
