    The OstModern website is excellent, the best of the bunch – a great example of a simple colour scheme and user friendly navigation. Love it.

    Definitely sometimes less is more.
    Although I am fan of more elaborate work, these are definitely nice pieces of inspiration.

    Sometimes less is definitely more. These webdesigns may look simple.. but i think it’s really dificult to make such a ‘simple’ design look good.

    I especially like the designs of ‘daniel guillan’ and ‘corkingdesign’ :)

    Nice collection of web site designs. Sometimes simple is the best route. I like blejskam’s site, his photography is pretty good as well.

    Minimalism seems to be the style these days. I must say, I do like some of these designs, especially the ones that use subtle but interesting images or backgrounds.

    I like Stratosphere design, and structure theme most on this list.
    I think using predominantly black and white for a website with 1 other bold colour works really well for portfolio sites, if your going for a clean minimal look. Also it helps to a have a simple to use navigation.

    Excellent content! I think that it makes a lot of sense mainly because a website doesn’t need complexity but usability. What’s the use of creating a complex website in which visitors get lost and don’t get to actually use it (or find the info they are looking for)? Perfect!

    Hi!

    The designs are really terrific and enticing. I sure do wish to create a design that would be an attention grabber, just like the designs featured above.

    I’d surely be back to learn more things from this blog. Couldn’t wait and very excited for the upcoming designs.
