25 Beautifully Minimalist Websites – Part 5

Published February 3rd, 2009 in Galleries, Hosting

Over the past year and a half, I have published four collections of inspirational websites with a minimalist approach to the design. Since more great websites of this style keep appearing, and since readers continue to show an interest in this style, here is the fifth edition. You can see the first four parts here:

If you appreciate websites with a minimalist design style, you’ll love our new gallery site Minimal Exhibit.

Beautiful minimalist designs, simple yet effective. Thank you!

Nathan Beck February 3rd, 2009

Absolutely bang on selection once again. You keep crafting top selections like these and you’ll have to get them published. I’d look a high quality desktop reference of these great selections of inspirational sites.

Thanks again guys!

Chase February 3rd, 2009

nice inspiration list thanks..

Josh February 3rd, 2009

Awesome list, minimal designs are always the most effective, thanks for the inspiration.

Danny Outlaw February 3rd, 2009

Its amazing how much creativity it takes to do a minimal design. It almost takes more than a typical design.

I dont think anyone can truly appreciate the hardw ork that goes into these designs until they try to design one themselves.

jQuery HowTo February 3rd, 2009

This is a nice list, but “This is Aaron’s Life” is using a free wordpress theme as far as I can remember. See wordpress site, I recently used it for some project…

Stuart Thursby February 3rd, 2009

Once again, a fantastic selection of sites – the first four parts provided much inspiration as part of my own website re-design! Much appreciated.

Vandelay Design February 3rd, 2009

Danny,
I agree completely.

jQuery,
If that’s a free theme I apologize for not knowing that.

Daus February 3rd, 2009

Nice selection.

Lee February 3rd, 2009

Glad to hear that the series has been helpful!

Dan February 3rd, 2009

Thanks for the compliments and linkage. Sorry I had to go redesign on ya! (wurkit.com) But it looks pretty close. Just wanted to get a blog/portfolio incorporated. Thanks again!

Vandelay Design February 4th, 2009

Hey Dan,
Haha! I’ve never had a site that I featured actually change before I published the post (that I’m aware of anyway).

Ray February 4th, 2009

Thanks for including my modest little site in this round up! You’ve made my day!

Nice list. I like how you set this all up and also shown previews of the websites. I didn’t get the chance to visit every single one of them but good rankings.

Chanel March 9th, 2009

Thanks for including my website in here! :)

Great list – I especially love the ones mentioned here that are based on grids… that’s one trend I love since it’s so simple, clean, visually-appealing, and well, geometric!

Kenny July 8th, 2009

There is that saying “Less is more” this line up shows how true that is.

TomTom July 14th, 2009
