16 Beautiful, Simple and Cliché-free Websites

November 23rd, 2007 by mao

In my last post “How To Destroy The Web 2.0 Look” based on Elliot Jay Stocks’ proposal I showed some sites that illustrate an opposite trend to the current style, with its rich textures and organics feel. The whole idea with this is to present different web designs approaches and to try to build up and express the very own site’s personality.Now, in contrast, I would like to show 16 Beautiful, Simple Websites that are clearly influenced by the “W2L” a.k.a. “Web 2.0 Look” (brilliant contrasting colors, central layouts and big text) but you won’t see any Diagonal Lines, reflections nor “Special offer” badges while maintaining that witty feeling from W2L.

So, it’s palpable that you can embrace trends without falling in their specific clichés and still be clean, beautifully corporative and without being a Photoshop artist.
