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

Example prompt
“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.
