In web design, there’s a variety of approaches that can be taken when it comes to a web site’s background. For some designs, it might be appropriate to use a pattern or a large image. While on others, a single solid color makes more sense. So for your Monday inspiration this week, we’re showing you web designs that take a simple approach when it comes to backgrounds. In this collection, you’ll see how a large dose of a single color can have a dramatic effect.

I just love “Red Bowl challenge” design, how everything falls into place with the background, I really like this type of websites, the message is clear, the design is absolutely unique and well done.
Too bad more sites are not deigned like that, especially in Israel.
ok, it looks quite good. very inspiring thing in a way of solo-colour sites 😛
because dramatic effect? I think this is a good collection of site. Some are beautiful examples like “oink” “350 gram”. For me i usually alternate sites with layouts with unique colours or images or gradients. Depends by the client. Thanks for sharing
How are sites with gradients getting in here – thought it was about single colours!? 😀
Some lovely examples there though!
some lovely examples.
Thanks!
The site “Slavery Footprint” have awesome effects!
excellent examples of web designs.
Mike Dignam is a good looking website with great use of different tones of grey!
The jaypegams.com site looks like a bit of a rip-off of Elliot Jay Stocks’ old site.
thenewlofi.com uses a crazy bright yellow background but it works really nicely.
Nice collection of beautiful designs! Great examples!
I’ve always been a fan of minimalist web design, and there are some great examples here. Thanks for the list.
Excellent websites! thanks a lot for sharing them with us all (:
Really Inspiring Collection of Backgrounds in Web Design 🙂
“Societe Perrier” and “Slavery Footprint” have Awesome Effect. Thanks for Sharing
Really love the minimalist theme here.
Great stuff, I look a bit of inspiration from similar sites when creating my own online protfolio (illustrationbooth.com – if you want to see the results), but these are on a whole other level! Loving 350gram and Arcade Creative especially.
Wow, love the unusual red color of Chad Mazzola.
Nice inspiration 🙂 Thanks for sharing
Wow, it ain’t easy to pull off a red background. But two websites on this list perfectly pull it off… Great job!
