About
Curated launched in 2022 with a simple premise: handpicked websites worth studying. Instead of static shots and concept mockups, the gallery collects live production websites — real pages you can open, inspect, and learn from — tagged by industry and design style.
Built as the inspiration layer of the Craftwork ecosystem, Curated grew into a daily-updated library that designers check before starting a new project: find sites in your niche, study how they solve layout and typography, and move on with a clear direction.
What We Built
- Website gallery — a growing collection of handpicked live sites, each reviewed before publishing. No filler, no dead links, no concept-only work.
- Sections library — real UI sections (heroes, pricing, footers, feature blocks) clipped from production sites for focused reference.
- Industry and style taxonomy — browse by category (Agency, AI, Assets, Design Tools, E-Commerce, and more) or by visual style, with advanced Pro filters.
- Search — full-text search across websites, sections, and templates.
- Template store — free and premium templates for designers who want to start from a proven layout.
- Submissions — an open pipeline where anyone can submit a site; only work that passes the curation bar gets published.
- Weekly newsletter — the best new submissions, delivered to subscribers every week.
- Curated Studio — a design service arm: the team behind the gallery designs and builds pages for clients.
Platform Evolution

- Growing the library. Added the sections library, advanced filters, search, and user accounts. Daily updates turned Curated into a habit for working designers.
- Beyond the gallery. Launched the template store, the weekly newsletter, and Curated Studio — closing the loop from inspiration to production.

Real websites instead of concept shots — Curated is built on the belief that the best design reference is work that actually shipped.
