Great article. I’m a big fan of minimalist design, but unfotunately it can be tricky to offer it to clients who want good SEO. Optimised content is such a huge ranking factor, so with minimal content, it doesn’t give it a good foundation. However, you can still achieve great traffic through viral media campaigns and social media.

This is so true. When we created our agency website (click my name) the guideline was precisely that: “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” Crazy to have an agency portfolio minus the portfolio I know ;)

Great Article Jason,

I am fan of Minimalism Design, but unfortunately most of my customers don’t accept that kind of designs, however I am trying to convince them for acceptance as in point of view of usability minimal designs should be most usable!

Thanks for the article!

Nicely written! I think as a professional, minimalism is the challenge of finding balance between “removing unwanted distractions” and not delivering something that is just plain boring.

Great article. To me it seems when creating minimalistic sites great fonts are very important!

Great article. Making good use of negative space does work wonders for getting key messages across to site visitors. If your canvas is mainly black and/or white, subtle use of colours is also another great way of drawing the eye to the important parts. Top marks!

thank you for your good and informative article on web design minimalist. 50 Beautiful Clean and Simple Web Designs are a great inspiration. Unfortunately, too often the customer says what he wants or does not want :-)

Wow, great designs!

For me this is the most important message:

“Minimalism is the practice of putting forward only the most important message and removing unwanted distractions.”
