Creating a minimalist design may look simple to non-designers, that’s why it’s often so hard to sell minimalist designs to your clients: they have the feeling that they could do it themselves. However, achieving simple yet powerful designs is a time-consuming task. I’ve made a selection of websites that did a great job creating efficient designs.What these sites did rightContent going straight to the pointHard to design a minimalist site if you have to fit in every products of your client with descriptions, 2′000 words and two menus with a bigger logo.

Using a grid makes it much easier to give balance to your designs when no extra visual elements weigh in the layout.Clear hierarchy of informationNotice something on these websites?
