80 Large Background Websites

As the monitor resolution and internet speed is advancing, it seems like more and more designers use over-sized photo or illustrated image as the website’s background. Large background image can create the stunning visual effect, especially for high resolution monitors. It can also add more life to your site design compared to the traditional tiled background graphic. Here is a collection of 80 websites that used large image as the site background (must-see, you won’t be disappointed).

    amazing, but the problem, is where can we find such big background images with such high resolution

  • 208 MikeDanzl

    Thanks for sharing

  • 206 leslie http://www.lintacious.com

    I really dislike fixed-width designs. I bought a widescreen monitor for a reason.

  • 205 paluh http://www.deprowebs.com

    These websites are amazing, i would like to design always like that. Thanks

  • 204 Jeff http://www.redfishbluefishdesign.com

    I think http://www.csslayout.com/ is an awesome website. And not just because I too am a Canadian web designer :). I like the simplicity, the visual ease, the shininess. Also the effectiveness of showing off their web design portfolio. Sexy.
