A Showcase of Clean White Web Designs
When it comes to web design, white is always a symbol of elegance, minimalism and style. You can use white to create space, to keep it simple, to drive the attention to other elements at your page and also to maintain your site with a clean and minimal look. Several websites use white as their main color, and this is what we will show here. You probably have seen some of these sites before, but they are such a great example that I had to mention them again. And in case you want to share a “clean white website”, the comments are open!

January 12, 2010Great post! There are some fantastic sites here…very inspirational.
Check out http://www.whatcreative.co.uk for another really clean and simple design.
I definitely think white websites are the way forward. They bring the focus onto good quality content which is something that is much needed in this age of the internet.

January 14, 2010thanks for the sites, I believe overall they are nice however sometimes they can be a little bit too bland / boring and need more colour / design elements to break the white.
Thomas
January 15, 2010Here you have another clean white site inspiration http://www.schallinger.se/ and http://www.theartofmetropia.com/

Ian Devlin
January 21, 2010Nice list, I too enjoy a good white, minimalist site.
Like many other posters here, my homesite is also white and minimalist, perhaps too much so (am currently redesigning it – but it will retain it’s white minimalist look!)
Max Ottignon
January 25, 2010Thanks for featuring our site. We’ve just redesigned it if anyone’s interested: http://www.raggededgedesign.com – we’ve kept the tight grid system and the minimalist design but added a little more colour. Still mostly white though!
Matt M.
February 1, 2010I am a huge fan of the variety of white, minimalist designs shown here. Some months ago when we started our ethical seo company, we considered the white minimalist style to be in line with our brand objectives. You might find it a good addition to your next list. Well done!
