Minimalist website design is nothing new and is something that probably will never go out of style. It’s a “less is more” approach to displaying content, images and navigation.  It’s a style that is high on impact and low on bells and whistles.

So, what exactly is the purpose of minimalist design?  

A minimalist design is a very clean and simple approach to creating a layout, but the goal is to do so in such a way that the layout is still interesting and meaningful. Although a minimalist design is one of very few elements, each of these elements should be carefully chosen, sized and strategically placed with a purpose in mind—to draw immediate attention to a product or service without being hindered by unnecessary distractions.

Achieving the right composition can be tricky because you want to include as few elements as possible to convey the message, but enough substance to create a good user experience while taking SEO results into account.
