The architecture
of excellence.
Deconstructing the modern web. Search the JavaScript frameworks, CMSs, hosting platforms, animation libraries, and design tools powering award-nominated projects, filter the stack, and open any entry to see the websites behind it.
Every framework, cross-referenced.
The Web Design Awards technology directory is a live index of every JavaScript framework, CMS, hosting platform, animation library, and design tool detected on award-nominated websites. Use it to research what stack a competitor runs, find studios building with Next.js, Webflow, Framer, or GSAP, and benchmark your own architecture against the best work on the modern web.
Each technology page lists every nominee that declared it in their stack — verified by our editors and refreshed as new entries are approved. Pair this directory with our full nominee index, agency directory, and glossary of web design terms for a complete map of who is building what — and how.

Tech directory questions.
How the Web Design Awards technology index is built, verified, and kept current as new award-nominated work is reviewed.
What is the Web Design Awards technology directory?
A live, editor-curated index of every framework, CMS, hosting platform, animation library, and design tool detected on websites nominated for Web Design Awards. Browse by category or search by name to see exactly which award-nominated sites use each technology.
How is each website's tech stack identified?
Stacks are submitted by the studio or in-house team behind the site at nomination, then verified by our editors against the live build, public source, and detection signals. Each technology page lists every nominee that declared it in its stack.
Which technologies are tracked?
We track JavaScript frameworks (React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Astro), CSS and UI systems (Tailwind, shadcn/ui), animation libraries (GSAP, Framer Motion, Three.js, Lenis), content platforms (Webflow, Sanity, Contentful, Shopify, WordPress), hosting and infrastructure (Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare), AI stacks, design tools, analytics, and more.
How often is the directory updated?
The directory regenerates as new nominees are reviewed — usually within minutes of an entry being approved. New technologies are added to the index whenever a nominated team declares one we haven't tracked before.
Can I submit my website to be listed under a technology?
Yes. Nominate your project through Submit for an Award and declare your tech stack. Once your nomination is approved, your website automatically appears under each technology's directory page.
