Most modern web sites tend to have a lot of colors, content, images, video and sound. While the overall trend may be going this way “keeping it simple” still works very effectively. In fact, some designers believe that a simple and minimalistic design makes it a lot easier for the visitor to find what he or she is looking for. Just consider this – do you think Google can afford the best designers in the world to make their most important page be as effective and user friendly as possible? Why is google.com one of the most simple designs we have seen? The answer is simple i believe and it is the same principles Internet marketers use to increase conversion. Help the visitor to take the action you want by removing as much disturbing elements as possible. This post gives you some great examples of keeping Web Design Simple and Minimalistic.

Great collection of minimal design, my favourite.
Great article. This is also an interesting/entertaining article on minimalist web design trends –

I don’t beleive that Google.com is one of your example
Agree.
I saw this one lately, it was also featured in CSS Mania http://www.edgarleijs.nl
This one is super minimal even it’s copy is minimal inspired!
@Bregje Thanks for the tip! Looks good.
Thanks for the mention, and nice post
Your welcome, your site looks great!
Aesthetically, I love the zinglbee site – it’s a stunning design but, despite its simplicity, it’s kind of hard work to absorb!
3Diddi looks great too and does a better job of making it’s point (much simpler point to make, though!)
We recently posted about the functional basis of minimal, simple web design.
zinglbee is awesome! Plese share the link to the post you are mentioning.
Thanks for the mention!
Its nice . I do think so that simple color combination and themes can make a site more effectful
All looks nice and amazing. The tinder site is awesome and red color is attractive.
Very nice post with minimalistic website designs. Great smooth gradients for the backgrounds as well!
looking at some of the sites, i think the reason sites are so successful is because simple works. gogle is a great example!
