Over the years, monitors are getting larger, resolutions are growing, and internet speeds are increasing. It’s no wonder then that web designers across the world are making strides to take advantage of these technological advances, and fullscreen websites are becoming more popular.

As with more traditional media in the form of posters and advertisements, large, fully featured photos are often minimalistic yet stunning ways to showcase your product or identity. On websites, they can offer more impact than your traditional tiled designs, and simply let the photos speak for themselves.

Images typically look their best when there is a clear subject to focus upon. Having enough space surrounding the subject can ensure that with the magic of CSS we can keep it centralised, scaling it to your browser window no-matter the resolution. We then add an overlay of content to make the website functional, and bring everything to life.

Here are some examples of our favourite fullscreen background websites.
