Minimal design does not remove elements for aesthetic reasons.
It removes them to enhance understanding.
Every page has a purpose.
The more unnecessary elements there are, the harder it is to achieve that purpose.
The psychology of simplicity
The human brain:
- gets tired of information overload
- avoids uncertainty
- prefers clear choices
Minimal design:
- creates a visual hierarchy
- guides the eye
- reduces barriers to decision-making
From experience to action
A well-designed minimal website:
- naturally guides the user towards the call-to-action
- increases dwell time
- improves conversion rates
It doesn’t try to impress with effects.
It impresses because it works.
