21 Inspiring Minimalistic Web Designs
Here at WDL, we really like minimalism and we believe that the “less is more” principal can result in amazing websites. Minimalism, explained as the essence of something, is when we reduce something to its necessary elements. What is the right amount of elements to compose a minimal design is a polemic subject, but we can all agree that having few elements make a layout elegant, easy to understand/use and pleasant to see. Today we gathered a few examples of minimalistic designs to inspire you, check it out.

May 25, 2012Thought this was a great article and a very inspiring collection of sites. I see a lot of articles like this and I have to say that this is one of the best I have come across for a while. I think you have put together a great variety of sites and they all have elements that I love. The site that stood out for me was the b14 site. I thought the look and feel of the site through the design and layout was amazing. I loved the balance that had been created and the fact that even though there is some large images and content, you still get that minimalist feel. Great article and I look forward to more articles like this from yourself.

June 1, 2012I have alway tried to create minimalist sites with as much white space as possible. Somtimes I just get a little to carried away with the information.
Thanks for your article.
