    corporateriskwatch.com is probably my favourite; probably due to the rollover style for the menu, which is a little bit different. It offers excellent focus, and leaves the visitor in no doubt as to which link the cursor is currently hovering over.

    Unfortunately, buuhouse.com is not loading most of the images, or not at all for me at present.

    Hmm. It’s not loading for me either. It was last night. I’ll give it a little while before removing it from the list.

    Oh, and to add that, I especially like devwp.com, don’t know why… :)

    Excellent list. My favorire is BeingWicked web site!

  6. Nathan Beck | September 16th, 2008 at 5:28 am

    Lovely sites. I love minimalistic sites done right. It shows that you don’t have to cram your designs for them to look good. Sometimes less is more!

    Once again, I don’t get included in the lists… Check out my single-page portfolio site for white minimal using XHTML, CSS, jQuery, sIFR!

    Great list! Good source for inspiration.. Thanks!

  11. Soroush | September 16th, 2008 at 3:08 pm

    Another excellent collection! I really love minimalistic designs, they appear to look “simple”, but a lot of thought goes into them.

  12. Bri Manning | September 16th, 2008 at 4:00 pm

    Wow, wevio is really cool. I’m a real fan of the grayscale, and the details using pngs makes the simplicity really pop.

    If you want to be thorough, this series can become The Young and The Restless of web design :)

    But really. Minimalistic design can always be a source of inspiration for a simple reason that it allows everybody to perceive it personally. Also, it allows you as a designer to easier transmit your message.

    We have gone a bit further by introducing the imaginary concept of FEETER instead of footer. Without any discrimination, we put web pages in their natural order, on two feet instead of one. This approach fits perfectly with minimalistic web design as the light-weight two-feet pages can move then through the web much faster, strengthened and without any extra burden.

    This is a really nice collection of websites here. Love minimalistic design.

    I like theme magazines. I just finds that it looks great.

  16. Denis | September 17th, 2008 at 12:10 am

    It’s interesting to note how the majority of “minimal” designs are white. I wonder if it’s the colour that makes people perceive it as minimal, or if designers think of the colour white when aiming for minimalism.

  17. Vandelay Design | September 17th, 2008 at 6:49 am

    Denis,
    I think it’s a bit of both. When I’m looking to put these galleries together, the white ones do stand out to me, so it’s partly my own perception. But I think designers that are intentionally going for a clean minimal look will typically go with white.

    Thanks for putting together such a great list! Minimalist web design is one of the hardest to get right and these are some lovely examples.

  24. Desserts | September 19th, 2008 at 10:22 am

    Great website designs. They are perfect because there not too flashy or bright, which can be very distracting for most people.

    I really enjoy these minimalist feature articles, and don’t think it’s as easy to accomplish this sort of design as one might think.

    Thanks for the posts!

  32. Antonio | November 11th, 2008 at 3:51 pm

    Great list. Does anyone know who designed the Corporate Risk Watch site?

    So glad to see that “less is more” designs coming back into fashion. It also helps that website layouts have a lot more space to work with, thus the increases in white space.

    Could you ever imagine so much white space in a 800×600 design?
