In this month’s Best of Web series, we’re taking a look at websites that nail the art of orange—sites that use this vibrant hue to delight, energize, and engage. From minimalist orange-on-black layouts to playful brand palettes, these examples show just how versatile this fiery color can be.
1. HiSET
Exams. Stressful word. Yet, HiSET’s website is calm, approachable, and supportive—an unexpected combination for a testing organization. Soft orange accents pair with warm neutrals, creating a soothing tone that helps reduce anxiety for students preparing for big exams. And the cherry (or should we say orange slice?) on top? A Spotify playlist called “Hype for Test Day.” A+ for encouragement and creativity.
2. Chirpley
We’re suckers for bird-themed branding—and Chirpley delivers a flock of charm. Round orange spacebirds, oversized fonts, and a cheerful palette come together for a site that’s equal parts futuristic and friendly. As a platform connecting brands and micro-influencers, Chirpley uses its color and character design to build instant personality. It’s proof that orange doesn’t have to shout to be bold—it can chirp and sing.
3. Veilsun
App development isn’t always the most visually thrilling topic, but Veilsun flips that narrative. The site uses a bold orange shape and highlighted keywords to keep the design dynamic, while alternating light and dark backgrounds give the bright orange and blue elements fresh contrast. Their tagline—“Inspire your business”—feels perfectly matched to their vibrant, inspiring orange aesthetic.
4. PwC
Not every brand needs to drench their design in orange to make an impact. PwC proves that subtlety can be powerful. Orange appears sparingly—hover effects, CTA buttons, soft glows in photography, and peachy section backgrounds. It’s a masterclass in restraint and refinement, showing how a signature color can guide attention without overwhelming the user.
5. Nickelodeon
Few brands own a color like Nickelodeon owns orange. And yes, the bright green slime following your scroll might make grown-ups blink—but that’s exactly the point. The design is loud, colorful, and delightfully chaotic, just like the network itself. It’s a playground of purple, orange, and cartoon energy built perfectly for its audience. Adults, look away if you must—but let your kids engage in the fun.
6. Armadillo
Appliance repair might not sound like a visually inspiring space, but Armadillo’s website turns it into something surprisingly fun. The illustrated visuals, sunny orange hues, and bright pops of teal and yellow create an inviting, friendly vibe. It’s approachable and reassuring—like a friendly neighborhood repair expert wrapped in a warm (armadillo) shell.
7. NYLabs
Simplicity meets strength. NYLabs proves that sometimes all you need is one color—and they’ve chosen orange. Set against a dark background, their orange elements create a modern, high-contrast aesthetic that feels innovative and sharp. It’s minimal, confident, and straight to the point.
8. Madar
A logistics company with neon lines and glowing orange accents? Madar takes “moving goods” to another level. Animated visuals guide your eye across the screen as trucks and product screenshots scroll smoothly alongside bright orange CTAs. The design feels modern and kinetic—proof that even in a typically utilitarian industry, bold design choices can drive engagement.
