It is much harder to design a minimal design. Of course not all of them are not excellent. But some are amazing no 1. 2. 3
Thanks for putting this together

I like the number 5 design “Igor Zagnienski”. I think in portfolio you need to show how your website looks in mobile devices like iPad.

great examples. Simply a ‘trend’ or no, there is a certain philosophical elegance to minimalist portfolio design: letting art and creativity speak for itself.

The hardest thing to create minimalist design which is needed creativity and extra imagination

Heh – did Six Revisions realize that your post and the previous post (two days prior) cover the same topic and show several of the same sites? Silly.
Your post says less but I like it more because I hate the word “undesigned.” It implies cheap and easy, and I’d wager most of these took as much time as any good web design does.
Very nice sites – I’m actually not a big fan of #1 because it’s very hard to read and I prefer more color. The design is nice, but the font sizes/contrast are hard to read and it reminds me of the endless grey skies in the winter here in Oregon. Really love #11 and second #16.
Thanks for sharing!
