Simply I liked! Why? Because it’s simple…this is the idea of minimalism design.
This concept of creating a web page tends to emphasize the idea that “less is
sometimes more”. Nowadays all the websites are using big headers, enormous

It is a good point; the color is a
key factor in marketing so it is easy to understand the role of it. In my opinion this kind of design shadows the written
content. After all we are searching for some information which in most cases is

good pieces of information). As a reaction to this richness of colors and
pictures, minimalism design offers a radical solution: a great and impressive
background, a simple or almost nonexistent menu, one or two pictures and a nice
content. A few years ago I thought about these websites that they are for
