A few months ago we launched a network of five niche gallery sites. For a long time this blog has included inspirational posts that showcase the work of various designers, so it seemed like a natural extension to launch the galleries. During the past few months the archives have been growing at each of the galleries, and they are becoming more valuable resources for designers who are looking for inspiration. Each gallery now includes between 185 and 350 items on display.

In this post I’d like to showcase a brief sampling of the inspiration that is available at each of the galleries. There are ten items shown from each gallery. The text links will lead you to the source, and by clicking on the images you will be led to the pages on the galleries.

Are you a website developer? Or maybe striving to be? Then have we got a nice assemblage of invaluable sites for you to check out. These seven are the ones we believe that you need to be aware of to help keep you in the developer’s proverbial loop. So once more, we ask that you give a gander to the list below…you don’t have to…it’s not like a requirement. You could stumble if you want to, but you might miss something spectacular. Oh, yeah, there’s some razzle, little dash of dazzle. Just saying. Could be worth a few minutes…

1. A List Apart

A Band Apart, powerhouse innovative production company with a massive following. A List Apart, powerhouse innovative web developers blog with a massive following. Coincidence? Yeah, probably. I don’t really think one inspired the other, but it could be the case. Not that A List Apart needs any other reason to be the revered site it is, have you checked it out? It’s only the “The Blog” for web developers discussing content, code, culture, design and more. Seriously it is an amazingly useful site for those in the biz.

2. Blog.SpoonGraphics

Blog.SpoonGraphics is a vast collection of decent resources for web designers, tremendous tutorials, fabulous freebies, and even topical up to date news. Hours of useful data to get lost in are waiting for you. This site comes highly recommended from the entire Arbenting team. Both of us. What can I say, we’re fans.

3. Design Float

Design Float is the Digg of the design community. Need we say more? Well, we probably don’t need to, but since brevity is not really a strong suit among the staff, we’ll say just a bit more. This is a great place to get all of the best of the best from design blogs all over the world wide web. This has become a daily must read around here, and it will probably be for you too, once you check it out. Go on, don’t be shy. It’s just a painless click of the mouse away.

4. I Love Typography

What good is a designer who knows nothing about typography? Not to step on any toes, but honestly, not too much. So many lament over the numerous magnificent designs that have been devastatingly ruined by the incorporation, or afterthought, of a lackluster font type. It can detract and often distract from the originality and beauty of the creation. To learn more about this underrated artform or just to sort and sift through the splendor for some inspiration visit I Love Typography. And see why you will soon be feeling that same way.

5. W3 Schools

W3 Schools is a comprehensive and intensive online learning institution, that is quite literally, the best place to get started if you want to learn about coding websites or any other kind of online content. So many great resources and classes designed to allow the user to progress and advance at their own speed and comfort. Even more advanced coders still have lessons that can be learned or reaffirmed from the basics and beyond at this wonderful and welcome addition to the online community.

Edit: It was pointed out by a few of our readers that W3 Schools actually teaches some invalid markup and overall bad usage. The lesson here is one we probably all already know, don’t use only one source as a learning tool. We’re all learning together here so we thank zombieloffe & bobachu for pointing this out to us.

6. Web Designer’s Wall

Web Designer’s Wall is seriously, one of the best, and most visually stunning, blogs on web design in the whole of the blogosphere. With ever informative, cutting edge contributions to the world of web design, this site offers post after post of pure gold. While writing this post we tried to recall a time when we came across a blog entry that wasn’t helpful to us in some way, and we kept coming up empty. And subscribers? Well, lets just say that they get their fair share of fantastic free stuff from time to time. Oh, yeah.

7. Web Developer’s Handbook

If you think this is a good list, then we are grateful, and humbly direct you now to the behemoth that this list wishes it could be. But what would be the point of that. I mean, it already exists. It’s here. In fact, many of the websites on this list can also be found at the Web Developer’s Handbook. A huge directory of almost every website a web developer would ever need for any purpose or predicament. Seriously, dude, it’s HUGE! Web Developer’s Handbook. Tell your friends.

So, we showed you ours…what’s your’s look like?
