Dead Simple Sites — Minimal Website Inspiration

I’m moving into minimalism at the time of designing sites, this website is indeed inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

Can’t understand why build DSS instead of beautiful websites, sometimes I understand it’s better, but sometimes of, the ergonomy isn’t here, and it’s really weird…

In a web full of cluttery designs, this is the out-of-space haven.

These are great! I feel like this is a good time to revisit a classic - The Zen of Python:
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren’t special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you’re Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than right now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it’s a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea – let’s do more of those!
