137 minimal design website examples

Minimal design websites strip away the unnecessary to focus on what matters: the work itself. Favoured by independent designers, brand studios, and art directors, these portfolios prove that restraint and white space can be just as impactful as bold visual treatments. The approach relies on strong typography, careful spacing, and high-quality imagery to create quiet confidence. Use the filters to narrow by font, colour palette, or technology and find minimal design references for your own work.
