Very Nice

Thanks and good luck for Icon dock.
Bye

Nice post. :)

Very Good!!!Nice post.

Wow, great list. It’s quiet handy to see them next to each other.
Thanks.

Nice list… I definitely took the minimalist approach when re-designing my portfolio last fall.

Another simple + minimal:

cheers!

A!

nice picks, thnx

a lot of clean websites. minimalism is nice! :)

Some nice designs. Vitor Lourenço portfolio is pretty amazing for a 21 year old (or any age for that matter).

I would call a lot of them white rather than minimal, Andy Rutledge’s for instance. But a good list nonetheless.

less is more.

while i like the post’s topic, the majority of the listed sites can all be found on http://www.minimalsites.com. I would have hoped this list contain many other minimal sites than just ones that are found on a minimal css gallery site.

Great list! Minimalistic sites look great is done well. Thanks!

Great designs!!!
How about Manojsachwani.com – any reviews? critiques are welcome :D

Good collection…but a couple of the comps have “orphans.” Isn’t that a big no-no, esp. when the lead in becomes the center of attention?

This is awesome. Minimalism is by far the best way to design in my opinion. It’s the easiest way to get your point across and not have a bunch of distractions in the way of what you’re really trying to say. All you need is a hook to sell a product, everything else is just extra baggage.

So how about this one, also very minimalistic ….

The ultimate minimalist site I’ve seen is mono’s site.

Very cool: http://www.mono-1.com/

Allow me to preface my comment with the fact that I am a minimalist at heart. That said, unfortunately the first thing that I do when I go to half of these sites is leave. Some of them are even great aides for catching some zzz’s at the office. Websites this minimal just aren’t very engaging!

I like that fact that the typography appears to be a focal point on quite a few of these sites, but it’s going to take a lot more than that to rope me in. Most consumers want big, pretty pictures to look at and graphical CTA’s to click on. There is a fine line between short, sweet and to the point and just short… minimal shouldn’t feel lacking. This is still a great list and I appreciate the time you put in to it.

some great sites listed, thanks for posting them :D

I like the first 14 or so, but at that point a lot of them start to look like generic, unpersonalized blog themes. When you’re aiming to have very little, it’s very important that what you have makes a real statement.

Great sites, but I don’t consider Clearleft to be one.

Amazing! thanks for share!

@Tedel

Yea, that’s what I said. It would be funny to unexpectedly see your own site in a list like this. I was sad to not see mine as well lol.

hello
tanks for this post.

I love a minimal clean look of a website. I think hands down it looks much better but it is always important to still include copy so search engines can read it.

Pretty nice set of great inspirations, but some could be even simpler. ;)

Just in time for my own site redesign, thanks for the inspiration!

less is more!

Great inspirational collection – thx.

I’m all about minimal design whenever possible. Love this list. Plenty of inspiration for future projects. Thanks!

this is a webpage from a minimalistic architecture studio in austria – like the way the present the projects

Very nice designs. I would welcome a feature on well designed corporate sites as well. Maybe something for a future article?

I Love the minimal designs, very easy on the eye and some great effects using line heights.
Sometimes it can be very easy to over design a site! (More is less!!)

Nice post, less is more! maybe I should apply that theory to my site!

Sooooo, Relaxing to look at!!! very very inspirational!

Keep an eye out for this website: pikatzu It will be on here pretty soon.

mmmm…. good . it gives very good Inspiration to me…..

really like http://jbradforddillon.com/ defiantly a favorite

@ A Reader
i’m sry dude but I think it kinda sucks :p

Great examples of corporate/clean websites!

I really enjoyed this post as its a good one to show our students. “Here are some great examples of sites where content matters and simplicity shines”

Thanks again!

Estupenda reseña, el minimalismo siempre sera mi estilo favorito. Muchas gracias

Yeah and heres the link: http://www.interacts.at

Nice inspirational collection. I’m really drawn to Hot Meteor’s Typography, absolutely perfect and breathtaking, love Andy Rutlege’s softness, and the others whose simplicity is very brave. It’s not what is there, but what they have done without. Very zen. The ones that look like templates leave me cold, but there standouts are: Hot Meteor and Rodrigez Galinez with their typographic beauty. I would love to have that sensibility, but designwise I like a little clutter. I do admire the bravery in others though.

How do you find all this stuff?

it is really a great collection of beautiful clean websites, a lot of ideas came already to my mind. Thank you!

Some wonderous web designs here. Less is more or less more. Or something.

That’s pretty neat XD

dope. the huge site is amazing

nice articles.

more examples css design

http://www.csshook.com

Thanks

Love it inspiring

Nice collection!
I would have loved to see mine on this list too :)
Best wishes

Beautiful assortment. I would love to see a minimalist post with different background colors.

wow, another great collection.

Yeah most of the mim == > White …

White space plays and important role to get this effect. You can make the page look stuffy with darker shades.

Really like the Vesess design. A lot of designs should follow this trend.

wow…creative idea.. all those design inspiring me..
thanks

The “We Are Sofa”-design gave me a wow-moment while I didn’t really feel like having it, if you know what I mean >.<

Thanks for putting together a great selection of sites. It definitely shows that less is more!

Thaks again!!!

Nice collection :) just love surfing these posts

nice collection … minimal designs are clean, simple and easy on the eye … nicely done …

It just goes to show that the simpler the design the more effective it can be. I think it can be just as hard to create something that has little design and still have a great effect as it to have a page full of colour and images, if not a little more difficult.
Has anybody else got any other designs like these?

Thank you so much for putting this together.

Great article! Love minimalist design.

Great post. I love clean and simple designs. I think this trend is emerging as a sign of the times. I think the recession is causing individuals and companies to rethink how they present themselves, and no one wants to be perceived as disrespectful because they are overly ornate. I think this will continue to be a trend for quite a while.

Nice sites listed here. Great articles on your site. This is my first time here and I’m definitely going to come back.

MInimalism is so cool. And I think is also hard to do, because it is easier to use few big colorful photos and make heavy site, but to make something minimal and focus on typo and color is next level of design.

Really amazing collection…..fantastic sort out….
after all something empty..contains much…
….simply lovely….

I think Minimal, is putting in the essentials and nothing further! leaving the cr4p out… I tried to do the same with my own site, it’s not specifically minimal but I used only what was needed.

I also think Minimal sites leave more space to be Typographic… a new trend in Webdesign that hopefully will stay and grow!

Gr Edgar

Very nice sites, also your site is very very helpful for me to try to become a wed designer. Thanks in advance.

I agree! This is a wonderful collection, full with new ideas. Let me introduce our home page also: http://www.chipbracelet.com. Thx.

Peter, it looks great! Could you just tell me what is it about? :-) The home page URL http://www.chipbracelet.com doesn’t tell me much..

Nice
&
Clearleft site 2 times.

This one is quite interesting too: http://hakki.com

He makes use of minimal space and fullscreen at the same time, I like that. I need to work on my flash skills…

I demand to be minimal too: animaux.de :)

these are awesome!
thanks for putting in the effort to get this list together

What do you think about http://www.BalticBG.com ?

small sites have great focus.

thanks dudecc

thanks dudexc

these are great! awesome inspiration

Yes… awesome inspiration!

thanks dudex

Great list, some amazing examples of minimalism in website design there. Thanks for your hard work .

If you want minimalist you should take a look at our site http://www.ursusmedia.co.uk

We think it’s cool anyway.

Great inspiration. THANKSSS

Perfect list, I love minimalism :)

Minimal designs can be very hard to pull off, and even harder to get signed off when doing client work.
Strange how many people view white space ans wasted space, when in fact it can really set off a great design.

Me and my friend were arguing about an issue similar to this! Now I know that I was right. lol! Thanks for the information you post.

Very nice and clean collection .thanks for share.

un peu froid tout de meme…c’est à la lilmite du foutage de gueule

Great selection. I love designs that say more with less. These examples of minimalist websites exemplify the timelessness of simple, funtional design. I just found another that’s not on the list but ought to be: http://www.alancaseydesign.com. To my mind, flash-free sites like this allow the design to speak more clearly.

As iphone 4 white 3GS has something of non-update to the iPhone range, but there are finally decent alternatives in the smartphone market, with the HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S leading the Android fight right to Apple’s door.

This is a good site to spent time on .I just stumbled upon your informative blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. I will be your frequent visitor, that’s for sure.

Oh no! WDW is turning into SmashingMag. Flee!

The list of minimal site is excellent. As Web designing is the most important element of any website one needs to be creative while doing it. This will be a great resource to many designers.
