App Sheriff

Tim Bjørn web design looks very fascinating.

Brian Lovin

Solid collection Jacob, some truly beautiful sites up there!

Nouman Saleem

Great list. I recently made: http://myspacehire.me/profile/

Rob

Were these just cut/paste from articles elsewhere? I mean, I’ve seen all these up to a year or so ago. And isn’t this about the 10th article on the ‘net for the same thing?

Matthew Heidenreich

clean isn’t always simple. Great collection.

Mark Dittmer

Nice to see some different sites in one of these round-ups. Great work, Jacob!

Azzrizal

Nice websites.
Its kinda hard to find them out of nowhere.

Piotr

What do you think about that one: http://creativemashup.pl ??

Piotr

Nice collection, quite inspiring :)

This one is mine, I think that is simple enough, maybe even to simple, but….

thats the point of clean, good article

Gustavs

Inspirational collection. I’ve always loved minimalism.

Pete White

Nice collection. Really liking the look of Simon Collison and Happy Cog’aoke 2

Bart

inspiring selection

Simon Roskrow

Lovely stuff, very inspiring. I’ve recently built my own company website (neither website building nor design are specialities of mine!) and I’ve aimed for a clean, crisp and consistent look. Trying to do that, and to make it easy to regularly update has been a challenge!

If any kind person out there would like to offer simple, clear advice or suggestions, I’d love to hear them! The main site is at http://www.trainingreality.co.uk, and the regularly updated part (the twice weekly blog) is at http://www.trainingreality.co.uk/blog.php

I’d be extremely grateful!

BEBEN

always got a inspiration every visit to heres…cool

Benjamin Ds

Arf, I’m not listed ;o

Great collection, thx.

Jordan Walker

Ah simplicity, if only more clients would get an board.

Harald

Why bother about design? I read most web pages through a RSS-reader, so all articles and blog post look identical.

Ed

I first saw SOFA and thought this would be a retread. The rest of the list was really nice with some new stuff here. Good eye.

Jon Raasch

Inspiring roundup Jacob, really like all that whitespace.

And Future of Web Design London is such a great site, it really appeals to CSS nerds like me :).

Nezzy

I like not having to figure it out, these sites are clean and easy to use. I have one that’s even more minimalistic than the above: http://hakki.com – unique animations and very airy

Michael

Nice collection of sites – very inspirational

Skyrocket Labs

Dang! I *knew* I should’ve gone with a minimal approach to my recent redesign. *hangs head in shame*

Kenon

Nice collection. Inspiring.

Mike

love these :)

Zoe Feast

A lovely collection. Minimalist design can sometimes bring SEO challenges but I love it all the same.

psousa

great selection. well done.

Alex Flueras

Such a nice collection… Minimal sites are so elegant!

lemme add my 2 cents

Some amazing web design here…what a great list.

The K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid) rule is one I try to work by, which can make SEO tricky but if you use Jquery, MooTools etc you can often get around large chunks of visible text.
As with a lot of these sites imagery is the key, for example ‘We Are Sofa’ would it work as well if the image wasn’t as good?!

Kilian Muster

First thanks for the link! I thought this is so funny because the main drivers and inspiration for the current design of my web site were the sites of Simon Collinson and Analog and you mention them in one go with mine. I’m really honoured.

Perry

Nice collection….well done mate!!

Jacob Gube

@Piotr: Looks clean and tidy to me.
@Simon Roskrow: Two comments about the main site. The logo, when I first read it, seemed like it was saying “training reallty” because of how the letters were merged. Maybe I’m alone on that one. Also, I didn’t really understand the background image of the photo. My two cents.
@Jon Raasch: Thanks Jon! Looking forward to more articles from you buddy!
@Skyrocket Labs: Not necessarily! It’s really up your objectives, goal, and message that you want to send. Aesthetics is a personal choice, and as I said in the introduction, it’s something that I particularly like right now.
@rory: Wouldn’t minimalist designs make for better SEO? Less markup (usually, though not the case with Design Instruct) means better chance of getting more content on the web page indexed?
@Kilian Muster: Well done Kilian! I did see the similarity between your design and Analog when I was putting together this collection.

Heiko

Great collection – css and a bit of script – there you have it. Minimalism rules.
cheers
