Hi, thanks for a nice collection.
You definitely want to check out http://www.propeople.dk It’s a great black & white website.
Apr 26, 2010
Great selection, was kinda hoping to get a mention myself for tomheggie.com never mind, maybe next time…
Apr 26, 2010
So pretty. Black and white has to be one of my most favorite design concepts. Something about it is so drawing and simple. Thanks for the collection!
Apr 26, 2010
Seems plain to me, isn’t the world more beautiful with color.
Apr 26, 2010
WOW great to see yugop.com on here even after 10 years being one of the best! Nice collection of sites.
Apr 26, 2010
clean and simple, black and white works well with a good portfolio that shines
Apr 26, 2010
I really like the Gunner and FLOWMarket ones, although all of them are well done.
Apr 26, 2010
Great collection of sites…..I also love minimal design at times, and this is a good representation.
Apr 26, 2010
I am loving this minimalist trend – clean and modern (and easy). I have to say that SJH and We Are Sofa seem to be the easiest to navigate, with items placed so that the eye is drawn to them. I am using more of this minimalist trend this year – but with black and white + one color. I agree with Jordan – the world IS beautiful with more color! Nice collection though! Great job!

I think the black & white designs from above that work best are heavily typography based or have strong photographic elements in colour.
Apr 26, 2010
Yes, something really great about these simple clean designs. I always want to revert my site back to something like this.
Apr 26, 2010
Mash is very original. It looks like internet from the 90s! I love it’s amateurism, so much better than slick design.
Apr 26, 2010
These are fantasic! I really like these minimal designs
Apr 26, 2010
Hi Gisele,
Nice collection! I just published my online portfolio 3 weeks ago, maybe an item for in your next (white & black) round-up? ;-P

Thanks for sharing, Cheers & Ciao …

rebecca-niazi.de is not a “Web Design”. It is a piece of bad Flash. Would take me an hour to make it like that and better with standard html. Ridiculous.
Apr 26, 2010
Great compilation. Thanks for inspiring. Keep it going.
Apr 26, 2010
Parabéns pelo artigo Gisele, deve ter dado trabalho coletar tantos exemplos!
Apr 26, 2010
Very nice and interesting! I can tell you been doing your homework.

What about Deja Vu Labs? I was just looking at it before I read this article. http://www.DejaVuLabs.com. It’s a good one as well.

I always thought that only me could feel the strong relation between Black + White and Helvetica…
Great.
Apr 29, 2010
I really like minimalist web design, well I like most everything that take a minimalist approach. This is a great Roundup!
Apr 30, 2010
I reckon that most of websites are using Helvetica
May 5, 2010
