Museo Nacional Thyssen stands out because of its nostalgic homepage, reminiscent of a bygone time. Between the classic font and the film playing in an oval shape, this website demonstrates how sometimes, you can’t go wrong by sticking with the basics.
The site also stands out because of its excellent use of whitespace. As you navigate the homepage, parallax scrolling helps bring the story this museum is telling to life. Plus, it makes the user experience on the site more enjoyable.
Thanks to the neutral background color, this site has an excellent balance of video and copy, which never feels overwhelming. We also love how the site designer uses soft, curved lines to add a common thread throughout. The result is added continuity.
Next is Another Escape, a simple yet beautiful example of natural websites. When you first arrive on the site, a lush image pops up. When you scroll down, the site fills with articles and posts about the environment. We love the clean font and how this website feels minimalist but not bare. The footer also makes it easier to reach different pages. Plus, thanks to a form, visitors can stay in touch with the organization via email.
The Nature Conservancy also boasts one of our favorite natural websites. As you scroll through the site, you’ll notice that the implementation of parallax scrolling makes the entire experience more engaging. Additionally, we love how this site answers all of your questions directly underneath the large image, which grabs your attention when you land on the site.
The site also features a news section which makes finding recent updates easy. At the bottom, you are invited to see a local chapter to get involved. Another thing this website does well is providing visitors with a way to connect with the Nature Conservancy on an ongoing basis by providing your email. There’s also a clear CTA in the top right-hand corner: Donate.
Next on our list of best nature websites is Central Park Conservancy. This New York City-based organization flaunts an equally functional and visually appealing site. The first thing that stands out about this site is the ability to toggle back and forth between high contrast and the regular color scheme. This makes the site more accessible for folks with low vision, which is essential.
The site features a clear call to action when you first visit, and we love the block-style layout, which makes the different sections more digestible. As you scroll down, images and videos intertwine to tell this natural website’s story. We love the color scheme, which is engaging but not overwhelming. Finally, when you scroll down, you can check out an interactive map that mentions the Conservancy’s favorite spots in the park and even sign up for the newsletter.
