Minimalism in Website Design
-
Here are some really beautiful clean and functional websites.
These are just some of the websites I often visit for graphic inspiration. Studying sites like this influenced my online portfolio so I hope they will inspire many others:

Vignelli Associates
Non-Format
Nick Bell
Saville Wakefield
We Are Build
Studio Makgill
Cartlidge Levene
B&W Studio
BB/Saunders
NavyBlue
Browns Design

I have been working on my website for a some time, creating the graphics ready to upload. I have been using the database Indexhibit.org as i have read many positive reviews. Indexhibit is a popular database for creatives as it allows so much ease for showcasing works.

I’m finding the functions quite fluid, there are many ways to improve the template and downloaded extras, but as a novice i’ll be just pleased to get the website up and live and tweak it at a later date.

I love the format of indexhibit, works pretty much like a blog, you add text and upload images then turn on publish. I have learned a great deal from only playing about with the functions, not only that, the developers, Daniel Eatock & Jeffery Vaska are quick to respond to any queries in the forum. Plus a good friend of mine and co-design enthusiast Andi Farr has been giving me some great help and advice.

I hope to have the website up and running come September, after that i will be tweaking as my confidence grows - just like my blog design.

Making final amendments to the PDF Showcase ‘08.

My splash page has been update to correspond with the new identity. The website itself, i’m considering presenting like a showreel (from the original idea of the showcase format), you’ll be able to scan from left to right through the selected works.
