Minimalism has been a very popular website design style for a while now. Some people say it is simply boring and uninteresting because all of the “eye candy” and effects have been removed… I think it is a classy and functional design style that showcases strong typography, good design and layout skills.
Simply put, the goal of minimalist design is to remove any unnecessary elements that distracts from the overall message and just focus on simplicity.
For your design inspiration, here are 40 of the best minimalist websites for you to enjoy.
Sometimes, less is more.
