It has been a while since I did one of these sort of posts and I think its long over due. Being that I am in a real simple design state of mind lately, I thought I would do a showcase of websites that feature very organized and clean designs. While many designs that fall into this category tend to be “minimal” themes, that’s not always the case. Some of the examples below are proof of that.

What do you think of these designs and this style? Which one is your favorite?

    Dude, thanks so much for including my site. And thanks for including the rest of these as well, now I have some new content to read.

  2. Josh says: Nov 3, 2009

    Wow Danny.. great list! Another blog doing a top 50 list, how unpredictable. I think a top 5 would've proved your point though…

  3. DannyOutlaw says: Nov 3, 2009

    You are a dork.

  4. Chad Mueller says: Nov 3, 2009

    A great list, I love the Iokon Media - the big blue cyan type is so sexy..

    1. IOKON Media says: Nov 4, 2009

      Danny: Thanks for the mention, we're honored. We've always loved your blog so it's great to see ourselves here… You rock!

      Chad: We love how eloquently you put it. "… is so sexy". That's awesome! Thanks for the specific mention. It's the little things that we appreciate. :-)

    The MashKulture is very cool, its simple - but adds that spunk of colour

  6. DannyOutlaw says: Nov 3, 2009

    Testing the reply from email

  7. Phillip says: Nov 3, 2009

    Must keep tweaking until I am included in one of these lists! Great post!

  8. Tyler Shaqiri says: Nov 3, 2009

  9. Angie Bowen says: Nov 3, 2009

    Great showcase. I love minimalist web design! And it takes a lot more talent than a lot of people think to achieve well.

  10. Placehold says: Nov 3, 2009
