   I really like the Logartis website, it’s so calm looking and the animation around the tree works wonderfully. I would love to be able to create something as complex as that. I love that the birds are comments. It would be great if you showcased more websites like this. Simplicity wise, I also like Tinkering Monkey.

   I love minimalistic design, thanks for sharing these great examples. The Jon Montenegro site is very unusual – it’s definitely memorable!

   Stephen Vernon Clarke and Plastical are my favourites. They are simple and their work shown inside are the highlight among the rest of their site.

   John Montenegro good too but the loading time for the navigation is kind of long and makes me want to look at something else. I don’t have the patience to wait for something to load like that.

   Nice article though! The rest of the sites are nice and clean. Thanks! 🙂

    Some people think of minimal design as a shortcut. A kind of style where creativity is hampered. Were the designers lazy or did they simply not have enough time to complete it? But it’s easy to see the difference. When you have come full circle both with the concept and the design and gone through iteration after iteration removing everything that is not functional; then is when you reach a true minimal design. And it’s beautiful.

    Lately i have been looking specially for this type of design for websites since faster sites have gain a nice boost in their rankings in Google.

    I could say that minimalist layouts are trending now

    great examples! Thanks for sharing.

    Many of this are really interesting, but what exactly falls under minimalistic? I always though minimalist as something that relies purely on basic shapes, color, type and white space, though I see many sites here that use shadows, gradients, etc.
