Web 2.0 Gloss and Post-morphism in 2025

Unread post by Daniele63 »

Share any sites you found that still use the following visual styles in the current day:


Web 2.0 Gloss
They often feature reflections under objects, glossy buttons, transparency, and skeuomorphic elements (mimicking objects of real life). It was a popular style after the rise of Windows Vista in the mid 2000s and early 2010s.

Post-morphism
Those feature very subtle gradients, shadows, gloss, and a matte plastic feel, and it was a popular style during the transition to flat design in the mid 2010s.

Include a screenshot if you can and also a link to the site in question.

I'll start off with this phpBB website that presents the forum software to french speaking people, it features some reflections and transparency, but also subtle gradients so I would say it is post-morphism. It first featured this design around 2014 (Archive).

It's a website for a "small one man company" that's hasn't really changed looks since 2015 (postmorphic)

I know Warlock Studio for the game Jet Jumper, haven't really heard of or played any of the other games.

That's my favorite one so far lmao, also the gradient on top navbar looks almost like what I use on the forum.
