Minimalism, the art of less, is a popular modern design approach. Experimenting with colors, transitions, navigation, broken composition, or even the complete removal of all elements – there are more ways to implement minimalism than you can imagine.
In this article, we explore minimalism as it’s applied in digital product design, going over its main principles and elements and illustrating them with real-life examples of stunning minimalist websites.
The main principles of minimalism in web design:
user-friendly interface;
hidden navigation;
no more than three colors at once;
lots of empty space;
experimentation with fonts;
no excess detail: color transitions, shadows, textures;
no extra buttons.
Minimalism in web design means simplifying the interface by removing unnecessary elements.
In the other words, do more with less.
