Web Design and SEO Blog - from tillwilly

Every year, when it gets to December, you’ll notice lots of sites add a Christmas theme to their website. Sometimes, this looks great, other times it doesn’t! One of our clients, Face the Future, required a Christmas theme for their latest offers to be featured on every page. We did this for them, and it doesn’t look out of place, even on a website for a skin clinic.

I’ve been on loads of sites this December doing all my Christmas shopping online, so I thought I would share with you my personal favourite Christmas Design Themes:

Onlinegolf.co.uk

This is my favourite Christmas design I’ve seen this year. Some might think it’s tacky, but I think it is brilliant. The attention to detail is fantastic, and it doesn’t take anything away from the products they are selling. A lot of work has gone into this Christmas theme.

Firebox.com

This is a pretty subtle theme, with snowflakes behind the logo, but firebox have also done a really slick Christmas email marketing campaing, which is why it’s on my favourites list.

Next.co.uk

Next have used a Christmas style black background, which looks really classy, and done some festive style flash under the navigation. The site design doesn’t have to change, but it still has a Christmas feel to it. I like it!

Game.co.uk

One of my favourite website for purchasing xbox 360 and nintendo wii games (got to love the points card!). I really like this theme, it’s nothing ground breaking, it just works. The character illustrations add a nice feel to the site too.

Facethefuture.co.uk

Finally, it’s the Christmas theme designed by yours truly…

There are websites that can go over the top at Christmas, but the ones above implement the Christmas theme well!
