Design style: minimalist
Minimalist websites with room to breathe
frascati already leans minimal: one paper colour, one accent, one or two fonts, generous space and large real photos. Ask for more restraint and it cuts more.
What defines it
- Generous space around every section
- One paper colour and one accent colour
- One or two fonts, with type doing most of the design work
- Large real photos instead of icons and illustrations
- No decoration: no gradients, badges, icon boxes or effects
Where it fits
- Architects, designers and photographers
- Lawyers, consultants and medical practices
- Personal sites and portfolios
- Shops with a few products and good photos
A prompt to start from
Copy it into frascati and change the details to yours.
“Build a minimalist website for my architecture studio in Zurich. Lots of space, an off-white background, dark text and one deep green accent. One large photo per project with a short text, a page about how we work and a contact page with our address.”

Questions
- Is minimalism frascati's default?
- Close to it. Every site gets one paper colour, one accent colour, one or two fonts, generous space and no decorative effects. Ask for a minimalist site and frascati goes further, with fewer sections and more space.
- Will a minimalist site have enough content for search engines?
- Minimal design does not mean little text. Keep clear headings and real text about what you offer. frascati writes a title and description for every page and uses semantic HTML.
- Can a minimalist site have animations?
- frascati keeps motion to short hover and focus transitions, and every element is visible without animation. That suits a minimalist site: nothing distracts from the content.
