8 advanced rules of minimal Web Design

Do your designs look unrefined, raw, like they were lacking a level of sophistication that you cannot figure out how to get to? In this tutorial I’ll explain 8 rules along with a 3 step process that you can apply starting today. If you listen carefully and follow through, I can guarantee you will see INSTANT results, and you will be able to design more sophisticated and minimal websites. The main goal of minimalist Web Design is to reduce and simplify your websites to the bare minimum. In this digital era, it’s easy to add. Add typefaces, add colors, add hierarchies, add graphic elements. The tricky thing is that everything is at our disposal, so to really create minimal websites, you need to have a lot of discipline and self constraint to reduce the excess, and learn to do more, with less. The great thing about minimalism is that the more you practice it, the less time it takes you to achieve high quality results because you have less variables to chose every time you are designing a new page or module. Hope this video helps you create more minimal websites. Happy learning!

I’m a minimalist in all aspects of my life including my approach to design, and I hope you take this as constructive criticism.

I find your website and YouTube thumbnails quite overwhelming in terms of amount of elements, and general use of white space. Your academy’s site for example gets quite busy below the fold and breaks quite a few accessibility rules when it comes to font size and hierarchy. As a fellow designer I would recommend you look into this so as to provide better UX for both prospects and students.

On the positive, your advice on the business of web design is quite sound and likely the best I’ve come across. Hands down. I have actually considered your membership program just for this reason. However, and maybe it’s just me, I cannot find cost/fee info on your website and I really do not want to go through the lengthy prequalifying process via Google form just to get this info. Yet another UX drawback in your purchase journey.

So, could you kindly share the cost of your program and possibly sign up one more fan.

I want to design more sophisticated websites, where do I sign up??

[nancymikyska]

Love you minimalist design process. But, there is no such thing as h0. Do you design with accessibility in mind?
