Keep It Simple Stupid; 48 Super Simple, Clean Websites
The web today is cluttered with fancy flash, java, ajax, jquery animations and scripts. Often designers feel that when designing we have to put every new cool trendy script in our sites to make sure the client is simply blown off their feet. Designers really need to stick to the good old fashioned KISS (Keep It Simple STUPID).
I know it’s not the easiest thing to do, especially with the many distractions on the web. This post is all about keeping it simple, these 48 sites all showcase great ways on keeping design to a minimum and by doing this allowing the most important part of the site to be shown… the content. I hope you enjoy this post, it might not be dazzling and breathtaking but, you can get a great sense of what makes these sites work very well.

Thanks for the love!
Anthony Watts did a great job on our Unspace site, and it’s changed only subtly in the time since.
White-space FTW.

Great collection! With all the ornate and complex graphics that people use in design these days, it’s nice to see some appreciation and effective use of traditional layouts and clean lines.

wow, great collection of really simple websites. As for example, I’ve also made my site as simple using less of graphics and only when necessary. and less of unnecessary coding and graphics.

I’m personally a fan of flash sites. They show effort and are usually much better sites that I’d want to be surfing anyway.
